Here are some of the questions that guided this segment:

1. You’ve been around the franchising universe for some 30 years. How has the environment for franchising changed since you started?

2. We’re sitting in early June 2009—-we are booking a 9.4% percent unemployment rate and likely to face still more job losses in the US. How has this changed the face of franchising and small business in general—-from your vantage point.

3. Franchising is not for everybody—-but how do you really know if it’s the patch you should follow?

4. I know you’re working with franchisees a lot—-are you also consulting aspiring or established franchisors?

5. When you do your speaking and consulting events, teleseminars and so forth——where is the pain with small business owners on the street and how do you find your work most helpful to relieve that pain?

6. Tell us about the Franchise Mastermind System you’ve founded—-what is it and how does it work?
