This week, Franchise Today takes a look at how professional athletes are transitioning from the sports ranks and investing in franchise opportunities. Host Paul Segreto is joined by his guest, Michael Stone, a former NFL player and founder of Allied Athlete Group, the premier private membership organization for professional athletes. Michael is also the Founder of Professional Athlete Franchise Initiative (PAFI). Paul and Michael focus on how franchising is often a consideration in life after sports. They discuss the benefits of franchising as well as the potential pitfalls former athletes may face as they make the transition off the field, court or ice to business ownership.
