Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special edition of the Money Monday's podcast.

Normally we're inside of an RV motor home.

But instead, today, we are inside this $100 million mansion in Beverly Hills that Ty Lopez is hosting his events at as we speak.

Some of his guests happen to be the people I was going to interview. So by the big, butter boom, we decided to take over his library to make this podcast episode. So as you guys know, we cover three core topics, how to make money, how to invest money, how to give away to charity. We're talking about all those topics and keep in mind when you're listening to this podcast, it's not always just for you.

It might be for someone from your past, present, future.

Meaning, I might interview someone about real estate, owning nightclubs, a rapper, an athlete,

a celebrity, and the topic that they're talking about may not pertain to you, but it might be for someone in your life from your past, present future.

So listen to these episodes, we keep them to under 40 minutes because the average workout is 45 minutes. The average commute to work is 45 minutes. So this episode will be under 40 minutes for your listening pleasure. So without further ado, I'm going to have two guests at the same time, give you the quick two-minute bio each so we can get straight to the money. Awesome.

Very cool.

And I'm Alex Mersnack, originally from Minnesota, based in Charlotte, North Carolina now, the other co-founder of Franzy and a Sierra Entrepreneur.

This is my third company, the last one we raised, 35 million in venture capital for.

It was a laundry and dry cleaning pick-up and delivery business. Eventually started started franchising part of that business which is how I got into the world of

franchising and saw you know just how broken and misaligned the franchise buying processes so

with Franzy we're hoping to disrupt the traditional broker model and democratize access to

buying small businesses and franchise businesses so the company you raised raised a $35 million for them. Did you stop? Did you get bored? Did you sell it? A mixture of all the above actually. So I was nine years into it. Whoa. Yeah, long, long journey. And we started at the advent of all the Uber for X businesses. So you saw like shipped and Instacart and Wag and Rover. I was like someone's going to do this for

laundry and dry cleaning. I'm going to be pissed if it's not me and someone else does it.

So we started up in 2016 and the reason I think I eventually you know started to move on

from it last year was we had pivoted into a business that had trucks and
