    Franchise Thought Leaders One-On-One: Michael Layman

    in Marketing

    We’ve heard from the political pundits and experts on what the 2024 Election results will mean for Americans.
    But what about for the Franchise Community?
    Michael Layman is the Sr Vice President of Government Relations and Public Affairs at the IFA and joins me for the first in a new series of Thought Leader One-On-One conversations on Social Geek.
    Mike jumps in with his expertise on navigating the waters of Washington, DC on behalf of the franchise community. We’ll discuss key issues for which all franchisors, franchisees, and suppliers will be advocating in 2025 and beyond!
    * What can we expect in a new Trump Administration? * Will a common-sense Joint Employer standard be preserved and perhaps codified? * Will we see an end of the over-regulation of small businesses and the franchise relationship by The FTC? * Will the tax cuts of 2017 be extended at the end of 2025? * How could a radical realignment and reformation of federal agencies under President Trump (and maybe Elon Musk!) affect Franchising?
    The possibilities are fascinating.  
     
    Thanks to Hughes, Northeast Color, and Tsource!
