About this Episode

We’re continuing our series of one-on-one talks with this year’s Social Geek Franchise Thought Leadership Award winners.

Sean Falk, President and COO of Careertopia, is here to share what he sees happening right now in Franchising.

We dive deep into:

  • What has happened to the Fran Dev Sales role over the past 2 years
  • How Private Equity’s move into Franchising has affected hiring
  • Talent not “of Franchising” coming into Franchising
  • Being purpose-driven

Thanks to today’s sponsors: Thunderly, AnswerConnect, Pilot, and The IFA World Franchise Show with The International Franchise Association.
