429: Why the Impossible Is Fun with Brian Scudamore of O2E Brands

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">33 years ago, Brian Scudamore was sitting in a McDonald’s drive-thru when he saw his future–a beat-up pickup truck filled with junk. Scudamore started a junk-hauling business to pay for college, but what was supposed to fund his education ended up inspiring him to drop out. Today, Scudamore’s transformed his junk hauling side hustle, 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, into a North American franchise business worth $600M. People told Scudamore that it was impossible to franchise his business, but he’s proven them wrong by expanding his model into other brands like WOW 1 DAY PAINTING and Shack Shine.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen to Brian and Nathan discuss:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Rebranding his business name to 1-800-GOT-JUNK?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Transitioning from a corporate to a franchise business</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Expanding his model into WOW 1 DAY PAINTING and Shack Shine</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How “The CEO Whisperer” Cameron Herold helped scale the business</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The 3 types of entrepreneurship paths</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The compounding growth of franchise businesses</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">His new book</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">BYOB: Build Your Own Business, Be Your Own Boss</span></em></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What Shaq taught him about franchising </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">And much more franchise business advice…</span></li> </ul
