In this episode, Spencer sits down with Giuseppe Grammatico — "The Franchise Guide" — a franchise consultant who's helped over 1,000 corporate executives escape the grind and achieve financial and time freedom through smart franchise ownership.

Giuseppe shares his journey from corporate mergers and layoffs to building a thriving business helping others do the same. Together, Spencer and Giuseppe talk about the real advantages of franchising — getting access to proven systems, built-in training, and support — all without having to reinvent the wheel.

They break down common misconceptions about franchising (hint: it's not just fast food), and how executives can actually own a franchise while keeping their day job.

If you've ever felt stuck in your corporate role, uncertain about your next move, or curious about owning a business with a playbook for success, this episode will open your eyes to what's possible.

In this episode, Spencer Ward breaks down why being the cheapest option in your market is actually the fastest way to go broke.

Too many business owners start out thinking low prices will attract customers — but without knowing their numbers, they end up losing money on every job. Spencer uses a powerful boat analogy to explain how chasing cheap work is like drilling more holes in your boat instead of plugging the one that's already there.

He shares insights from Mike Campion, Alex Hormozi, Tony Robbins, Patrick Bet-David, and Carl Allen — along with real-world lessons from over a decade of running profitable service companies across Idaho.

If you want to build a business that lasts (and actually pays you), this episode will help you:
✅ Understand your numbers and cost per labor hour
✅ Stop competing on price and start competing on value
✅ Charge what you're worth and still grow your customer base
✅ Build a brand that's sustainable, not cheap
