🎙️ Episode 12 - In this episode of The Franchise Champion Show, Alan interviews Drew Chrisman, former Ohio State football star and Cincinnati Bengals punter who transformed into a successful franchise owner. Drew shares his incredible journey from being cut double-digit times in the NFL to building Pink Zebra Moving of Greater Cincinnati into a $2M+ business in just 14 months. He opens up about the instability of NFL life, the grit required to keep pushing forward after repeated rejections, and how his entrepreneurial father shaped his business mindset from a young age. Drew discusses Pink Zebra's unique "making moving fun" philosophy (inspired by the Savannah Bananas model), their remarkable growth from 2 trucks to 8 trucks, his approach to building a strong company culture, the importance of franchising support versus going independent, and how the lessons learned from football's constant rejection prepared him for entrepreneurial success.
