// EPISODE SUMMARY

Anthony Badalian has spent 12+ years building multi-unit operations inside franchise systems and now leads STRIDE Fitness as it enters franchising. He covers what STRIDE protects as it scales beyond the brand mission — the five numbers a STRIDE operator must know weekly — and the real cost of keeping the wrong people too long in a high-standards environment where underperformance spreads.
