We discuss how Doug chose to franchise for intellectual property protection for his proprietary approach  Franchising gave his business two things. 

• The ability to have quality assurance and contractual standards of anybody that's using his work and using his brand so that he would have recourse.
• A way for Doug to be a mentor to therapists throughout their careers so they could be exceptional therapists, and continue to nurture their ongoing facilitation of growth, as well as help them build sustainable businesses that had some sort of legacy,

Listen in as we discuss how to scale a business while maintaining integrity and managing growth in a healthy way.
