Welcome to Just Jania, the podcast hosted by Jania Bailey and powered by FranNet. Lance Freeman, President of Franchise Development at Xpontential Fitness joins Jania today.  Lance shares his perspective on competition in the franchise space, how great brands are actually “sales & marketing engines,” and why consumers are engaging more with health & wellness brands.          

As many organizations are remote but maybe returning to office, we’re wondering … What do YOU love most about being remote? And what do you really dislike? As franchising is the original remote structure, our Franchise Rock Stars are here to weigh in! Kristen Pechacek, Derrick Ableman, and Scott Greenberg share stories about how they and their teams are doing with working remotely or in a hybrid situation. How do they keep their own energy up while maintaining the emotional well-being, culture, and relationships with their teams and partners? How has the return to office affected conference and conventions in the franchise space? AND we have a big announcement about the 2024 Franchise Thought Leadership Awards at the beginning of today’s show...   Shout out to Rock Stars Ali Kraus and Danielle Wright. Thanks Tsource, Northeast Color, and Hughes.
