Please let me come over and see that how they live this really is so and probably one of my most satisfying moments was realizing that I was part of a company that was what they said they were and uh it was similar to what I experienced in the Marine Corps was a group of people that are focused on on the same thing.

And the same thing is about doing the right thing and under and holding one another accountable for doing the right thing.

And uh I

it I'm very biased, but it's why I love this company.

And the whole is worth more than some of its parts.

That's a a good way of putting it.

There are a lot of different ways we leverage it.

Uh it starts at the top and it works across every single franchisee.

So uh for instance I I've always said, you know, they say it's lonely at the top, not at the Doard Group, because at the Douard Group I

um I have uh six other fellow presidents that I can

pick their minds, ask 'em how they do that.

You know, I recently just stepped into the executive vice president role uh where the brands roll underneath me and I see myself as a player coach.

Uh my job is to share those best practices, get our presidents together and we do that regularly.

We have monthly meetings that are designed just for us to share things that we're doing that are that uh work well that we can leverage across all the different brands.

Um we also have some groups uh within

uh our franchise groups that meet within their markets and meet regularly to market together, to do uh to share best practices, to share ideas.

Uh we we have a leadership summit we do uh in the beginning of each year where we take the top ten percent of our franchisees, we call them our top guns, and what makes them a top gun

isn't just your top in sales, uh it's you're growing and you have good market penetration and you're you're plugged into the brand.

And we bring them together.

Uh we go off to a you know a a cool and fun place.
