I don’t say this lightly.

In more than 12 years working in franchising, I’ve seen hundreds of brands launch—most of them look the same, follow the same playbook, and make the same promises.

This one doesn’t.

In this solo episode of Franchise Unfiltered, I’m giving you early, insider access to a brand that hasn’t even officially launched yet—and it’s unlike anything I’ve seen in the health and wellness space.

This concept brings performance, longevity, recovery, diagnostics, and personalized optimization under one roof… backed by one of the most experienced franchise leadership teams in the industry and partnered with some of the most recognizable names in health and human performance.

We’ll break down:

Why health & wellness franchising is entering a new era

What makes this model fundamentally different from anything else on the market

Who this opportunity is actually for (and who it’s not)

Why timing and early access matter with emerging franchise brands

If you’ve been waiting for something bigger than “just another franchise,” this is one you need to hear about.

What if a single franchise could save homeowners months of chaos, prevent $40,000 kitchen replacements, and completely transform the disaster restoration industry?

In today’s episode of Franchise Unfiltered, Wes sits down with Mike Pearce, Chief Development Officer of Renew Medic®, the first-mover franchise that’s disrupting restoration by solving the most expensive problem in any home disaster: cabinets.

For decades, the industry assumed damaged cabinets had to be demolished and replaced — causing 3–6 months of displacement and skyrocketing insurance costs. Renew Medic® changed everything. With proprietary emergency cabinet removal and rebuild systems, they can restore kitchens in weeks instead of months… and insurance companies love them for it.

Mike shares how Renew Medic® was born out of ServiceMaster, why franchise veterans came out of retirement to build this brand, and why insurers are begging for more franchisees in new markets. If you're looking for a scalable, protected, first-mover opportunity in a massive recession-proof industry, this one is special.
