Today we have a 2-part podcast with one of the top influencers in Franchising making a real impact on the community in the past few years.

Ali Kraus is the CMO of Benetrends, Chair of the Women’s Franchise Committee of the IFA, the co-founder of Fury Frans, and a 2026 Franchise Thought Leadership Award winner.

I’ve known Ali for several years and just learned today that she shops for her blazers to wear at IFA Convention based on the branding and colors for that year's event. Now that’s 110% commitment!

In part 1, we dive into:

*Letting others take responsibility but supporting them if they fail

*Moving from a “doer” role to a leader role

*Delegating and holding team members accountable

*And … what makes the WFC so successful?
