The Franchise King, Joel Libava, is frequently interviewed and quoted in national newspapers, magazines, major websites, blogs, and on radio and television programs. He has a stellar reputation in the franchise industry, and he does not spin.

Joel is available for interviews about choosing/researching franchises, and social media in franchising. Here’s a short snippet of a recent presentation he gave on franchise ownership to a group of 50 or so downsized corporate executives.

 

Just contact him here.

Joel’s just finished writing his first book, courtesy of Wiley Publishing.
