In this episode of The Sevo Show, Sev speaks with Jim Penman, the founder of Jim’s Group, one of Australia’s most iconic franchise networks. Jim shares his journey from mowing lawns to growing a multi-division empire, explains the unexpected key to retaining great franchisees, dives into his epigenetics research on birth rates, and gives honest, old-school business advice (like why he proudly wears Kmart shoes!). If you’re curious about how Jim’s Group stays competitive or want a fresh perspective on balancing money with meaning, this one’s for you.
