It’s a wonderful, wonderful opera, except that it hurts.
Life hurts like hell at times. Campbell explains the high incidence of psychotic episodes in franchising. Others say it’s because of a lack of sunlight in Canada. This is the threat to our lives. We all face it. We all … Continue reading

Modern franchising (franchisors, bar, franchisees, IndFAs) has evolved as if the industry were a plumbing/water system. It was for many years: tangible, physical/one-dimensional, hierarchical, overt local/national largely, measurable, (hub:spoke structure, based on economics of scarcity/ignorance), highly controlled ($: valves, fittings, … Continue reading
Philosophizing is: rejecting false arguments.
