I recently discovered Google’s latest AI innovation, NotebookLM. This new tool has generated a lot of excitement in both the tech and podcasting communities—and for good reason. Users can input any type of raw text, whether it’s a short story or article. NotebookLM will transform it into a podcast. Each "podcast" features the same male and female voices, mimicking the tone and rhythm with natural-sounding filler words like “uhms” and “aahs” Occasionally, you might notice a glitch in the speech or repeated explanations from the virtual hosts. Curious about its capabilities, we decided to put NotebookLM to the test by inputting a recent article featuring Telephone Doctor Nancy Friedman and Dr. Martin J. McDermott. Give it a listen and ask yourself—if you weren’t told this was AI-generated, would you have known? Today’s podcast is a conversation of a podcast interview between Nancy Friedman, known as the "Telephone Doctor," and Dr. Martin J. McDermott, the owner of Franchise Interviews. The interview covers a wide range of topics, including their personal backgrounds, career paths, and insights into the fields of franchising, marketing, and customer service. The interview also touches upon the role of positive thinking, the importance of effective communication, and the impact of theater on personal development. In Part Two, we play a clip from our popular Great Quotes in Franchising podcast. You can hear the interview discussed with Nancy and Martin on the following link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSXXYPXqwEI To view our whole catalog of interviews listed by category, alphabetically, and in chronological order, go to our updated website: http://www.franchiseinterview.com

Beyond Food Franchises: Exploring Non-Food Opportunities While food franchises are undeniably our most popular category, franchising extends far beyond the realm of food. Over the years, we’ve featured numerous exceptional franchises in the service industry. These businesses, though often highly profitable, present unique marketing challenges. Our podcast begins with a discussion inspired by Dr. Martin J. McDermott’s LinkedIn article, "You Had Me at Hello: The Power of the Follow-Up." This piece highlights the critical role of post-service communication in fostering customer loyalty. Using compelling anecdotes—like a dentist’s thoughtful follow-up call or a repairman’s check-in after servicing a refrigerator—Dr. McDermott underscores how small gestures can leave a lasting impact. He also introduces the RATER model (Reliability, Assurance, Tangibles, Empathy, Responsiveness) as a framework for assessing service quality, emphasizing how even brief interactions can strengthen customer relationships. Drawing from his expertise as a marketing professor and franchising authority, he concludes by celebrating the often-overlooked importance of a simple greeting and timely follow-up. Next, we sit down with Jon Ostenson, a consultant, entrepreneur, and author specializing in non-food franchising. As a former Inc. 500 Franchise President and multi-brand franchisee, Jon offers invaluable perspectives on this sector. We explore insights from his latest book, Non-Food Franchising: The Better Path to Franchise Ownership. Finally, in the second segment of the episode, we feature an excerpt from our celebrated podcast series, Great Quotes in Franchising.…
