Banging the drum for franchising – loud and clear
This podcast is a platform for open, unscripted conversations with the people shaping the franchise world. Whether you’re running a network, growing as a franchisee, supplying services, or shaking things up behind the scenes this space is for you.
With the occasional live audience (who like to chip in), a slight music theme, top tier franchise professionals and general chaos encouraged to provide the entertainment, there’s something in these episodes for everyone, even if you’re not currently in the franchising space.
In this episode, Deborah Salisbury, founder of The Reading Doctor, joins us to talk about building an education franchise that actually changes lives — not just for pupils, but for the teachers who run it.
Deborah shares how her 30+ years in education led to a system that works for every kind of learner — from children with Down syndrome and autism to those simply failed by traditional methods.
We dig into what makes her franchise model tick: how she supports 35 franchisees without losing the personal touch, the balance between creativity and structure, and why she’s fiercely protective of the resources she’s spent decades refining.
It’s a conversation about franchising done with purpose where relationships, systems and small daily decisions matter more than scale for the sake of it.
“If one of my franchisees hits a challenge, I don’t just fix it. I build a solution so no one has to face it again.” Deborah Salisbury
