Welcome to the $100M Blueprint, your go-to podcast for real-world business lessons and entrepreneurial insights. Hosted by Goodfood founders Jonathan Ferrari and Neil Cuggy, the series offers behind-the-scenes stories of scaling their company to $150 million and beyond. Each episode features candid conversations with top entrepreneurs who have built companies worth $ 100 M or more, delivering honest advice, leadership strategies, and hard-learned lessons for ambitious business owners.

In this episode, hosts Jonathan Ferrari and Neil Cuggy sit down with Brian Scudamore, the visionary founder behind 1-800-GOT-JUNK, WOW 1 DAY PAINTING, and Shack Shine. Brian shares how he scaled a "junk truck" into a $700M franchise empire by focusing on culture, intentional growth, and picking the right partners. He reveals why the first million is harder than the billion, how MBAs and fighter pilots struggled as franchisees, and why staying focused is the key to sustainable success. If you're building or franchising a business, Brian's insights are a must-hear playbook for scaling smart and staying authentic.
