One of the most common question I get when I do talks is: "Is franchising a good business?" I've had my experience about running a franchise business, but it was not successful, so I thought I'd invite someone who's had pretty good success in running a franchise business to help us out. One of my clients, Carla Canlapan, owns eleven Potato Corner franchises, one Nacho King, one Quickly and a Posh Nails franchise. So by sheer number of franchises she has, she would definitely know what she's talking about. 

In this episode, we talk about how to start a franchise, what are the factors to consider before starting a franchise, how to pick your franchise brand and a lot more about the franchising business. So if you are considering this type of business, listen in and get some tips from someone who's done it a lot of times and has been very successful.

One of my goals in the next 12 months is to become a Unit Manager myself. So in this episode of Advisor Conversations, I invited my friends and colleagues from Philam Life Tin Dimaliuat and Rose Callo to share with me the secrets to their success in building a team of financial advisors. Hopefully, this episode can help those who aspire to build their own teams whether it be in the financial services industry or in other industries.

In this episode of Advisor Conversations, I invited my good friend Ryan de Vera (financial planning advocate and entrepreneur) because one, I miss chatting with him and wanted to catch up and two, I wanted to know more about coffee! But seriously, I wanted to really talk to him about business. Since I know he is a serial entrepreneur, I felt he would be able to share a lot of tips on how to manage a business. And he did not disappoint! Of course the coffee talk both on and off the record was the bonus for me. Eavesdrop in our conversations as we share some tips in starting and managing a business!

Life insurance is an important aspect of personal finance. Despite this, less than 10% of Filipinos are insured. I would say part of reason why Filipinos are not aware how important insurance is or why they don't take action is because the don't fully understand how life insurance works and how it can be beneficial to them. In this episode of Advisor Conversations, we talk about the different misconceptions about life insurance that at times prevent an individual from getting his own insurance.  

Joining me in this episode are my colleagues  

In this episode of Advisor Conversations our inspiring guest Lineth Cruzat shares her journey in becoming a successful financial advisor.

She also talked about the challenges and the rejections she faced as she started her journey. Listen and be inspired with her story.

I have always been fascinated by people in the theater community because of their passion for their craft. So in this episode I invited one of the very few people I know who is a lifer in the theater world. She is an actor, director, producer, theater arts professor and she was one of the reasons why I enjoyed The Joy of Improv class (Third World Improv's level 1 improv class) a couple of years back - THE Missy Maramara!

In this episode, we talked about the current state of theater in the midst of this crisis, the challenges of those in the theater community, what lies ahead and moving forward despite the challenges.

Also, I would not want to pass up on the opportunity of knowing more about Missy's journey from her childhood days to her current success. Because I always believe that the best part of success is not the reward, but the journey to get there. Missy also gave a financial advise that you would rarely hear from someone outside the financial services industry.

This was absolutely fun! And I wish we had more time, but for now hope you enjoy this episode as much a I did!
