2:49
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. Well, I had to get it
2:51
Speaker 1: all out, you know, I had to get it all Yes. Well,
2:57
Speaker 1: you know you're an awesome person because he was able to. Uh.
3:00
Speaker 1: I always tell people we hear the worst throwing out there.
3:03
Speaker 1: A lot of passion gifts follow your dreams. You know,
3:07
Speaker 1: before you found this particular dream, you was hitting in
3:10
Speaker 1: a different direction with your career. Correct. Absolutely, so. I
3:16
Speaker 1: actually was a professional dancer and actress, and so I
3:21
Speaker 1: performed and acted in the industry for a while, and
3:24
Speaker 1: then um, I was about to have his son. I
3:28
Speaker 1: was pregnant with his son, and so at that moment,
3:31
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I really need to find something
3:33
Speaker 1: that's been a little bit more stable, because I want
3:36
Speaker 1: to offer him things that I couldn't do when I
3:39
Speaker 1: was a child. So that's when I decided that I
3:42
Speaker 1: started business or go back to school. And so people said,
3:47
Speaker 1: don't start a business. Most businesses fell blah blah blah.
3:50
Speaker 1: You know that statistics in the first three years. But
3:53
Speaker 1: those taters are out there right they tell you, I
3:56
Speaker 1: don't understand your dream, but don't start it. I don't
3:59
Speaker 1: know what your dream. I to understand the work or
4:01
Speaker 1: your plan, but don't start it exactly. So I started it,
4:06
Speaker 1: um and yeah, history started. Then let me do your
4:12
Speaker 1: own kick. You know you you you say that I
4:14
Speaker 1: started it? Where did you started? Well, let's talk about
4:17
Speaker 1: that that first idea, you know, because you know, I
4:20
Speaker 1: remember when I started doing stand up. I remember my
4:23
Speaker 1: first comedy club. It wasn't a place where I originally
4:25
Speaker 1: started it, but it was a starting point and eventually
4:28
Speaker 1: enabled me to go where I really became. Now you're
4:31
Speaker 1: you know, leving franchises around the country. Where did the
4:34
Speaker 1: first studio start? So I opened the first studio in
4:40
Speaker 1: Mount Clair, New Jersey, on top of a CBS. It's
4:44
Speaker 1: a pharmacy. So I shared the room with the real
4:48
Speaker 1: estate agent. So I had like half of a room,
4:51
Speaker 1: the side of a closet, and I had a mat
4:53
Speaker 1: and I had a ball, and so I decided, let
4:57
Speaker 1: me start stretching people the way you know I to
5:00
Speaker 1: stretch as a dancer. So I created a routine that
5:03
Speaker 1: was based on my own routine, but I replaced gravity
5:07
Speaker 1: with the stretch coach, which is the person that helps
5:09
Speaker 1: the person stretch. So I started with one client. When
5:13
Speaker 1: he bought his first package, I was so excited, like
5:17
Speaker 1: this man actually gave me two hundred dollars or two seconds.
5:21
Speaker 1: This is a great idea. So that gave me more
5:24
Speaker 1: power to move forward. So you one person, one person,
5:29
Speaker 1: You saw a future, you saw an opportunity, you saw
5:31
Speaker 1: a vision, you saw wow, I could do this. Yes,
5:38
Speaker 1: people side, you're either onto something or you're crazy. But
5:42
Speaker 1: the motivating the motivating factor at the time was my
5:46
Speaker 1: son and to provide for him to also be a
5:49
Speaker 1: part of his life. Like fast forward to today, I
5:53
Speaker 1: still drop my son off at school and I picked
5:55
Speaker 1: come up on most days. So that was very important
5:57
Speaker 1: to me. So my hy was so big, like no
6:00
Speaker 1: matter what the haters said, I was like, I didn't listen.
6:03
Speaker 1: I just kept going because I knew I can do
6:06
Speaker 1: it on behalf of my farmy So yeah, no, here's
6:09
Speaker 1: a great thing about what I'm talking to U, kikay
6:12
Speaker 1: Sees the Fouleder CEEO and owner and U of Kika
6:15
Speaker 1: Stretch Studios, which is a franchised and eleven locations around
6:20
Speaker 1: the country New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas and Nevali.
6:24
Speaker 1: Now Kika, I live in Texas. I have a home
6:27
Speaker 1: in Houston, and I have a home in Atlanta, Georgia.
6:30
Speaker 1: We're in Texas and we're in Atlanta. Are you located?
6:33
Speaker 1: So we're in located in Dallas, Texas, um in the
6:37
Speaker 1: Highland Park area, and actually our Atlanta studio is in
6:42
Speaker 1: the heart of Buckhead and they just moved into a
6:44
Speaker 1: bigger location. So you would love it. You have to
6:47
Speaker 1: stop by. Okay, I'm gonna stop by. Let me just
6:50
Speaker 1: tell you about you know, I always tell people when
6:52
Speaker 1: they come on my show when I when I have
6:54
Speaker 1: a personal experience, I always try to share just to
6:56
Speaker 1: validate why this interview is important not only to me,
6:59
Speaker 1: to people were listening to the show, or because of
7:02
Speaker 1: the fact that stretching changed my life in the sense
7:06
Speaker 1: of of because I traveled a lot, and I did that.
7:10
Speaker 1: I did this system. You know, I walk, I walk
7:13
Speaker 1: a mill a day, and I would do lightweight and
7:16
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But I was my core was failing me. Okay.
7:19
Speaker 1: And now because I fly a lot. I remember last year,
7:21
Speaker 1: I did a hundred and twenty one one way trips,
7:24
Speaker 1: which is like sixty one round trips in one year.
7:29
Speaker 1: And so no matter, I don't care if his first
7:31
Speaker 1: class C conference that you didn't matter. He still was
7:33
Speaker 1: at that little angle. Okay, and so and so when
7:37
Speaker 1: I when I was and so so and my daughter
7:40
Speaker 1: it was fun to my daughter, she was a former
7:42
Speaker 1: professional tennis player. And my wife would always tell it
7:45
Speaker 1: stretch and I wouldn't. I wouldn't listen to it, whatever, whatever.
7:49
Speaker 1: And I was just going there, lift my little weight
7:51
Speaker 1: to hey. I was I thought I was looking fine.
7:52
Speaker 1: I was looking fine. Okay, it was working for me.
7:55
Speaker 1: It was working for me, okay, and then but it
7:58
Speaker 1: wasn't working for me. You know, my neck was still barred,
8:01
Speaker 1: my back, my my my, my, my stride was getting
8:04
Speaker 1: shorter and shorter. I could tell. And when I wanted
8:07
Speaker 1: to walk, I had to make an effort to walk
8:09
Speaker 1: like I wanted to walk. And it wasn't until I
8:12
Speaker 1: started stretching that it it changed. It changed, and and
8:18
Speaker 1: and it wasn't like and so that's what I do now.
8:22
Speaker 1: And I want to tell you something, my my, I
8:24
Speaker 1: think my body looks better than it has ever loved.
8:26
Speaker 1: I have no love handles, you know, and and and
8:30
Speaker 1: my my core and my back issues. My my flexibility
8:34
Speaker 1: is amazing and my stride is comfortable. Now I don't
8:38
Speaker 1: have to make an effort, and I don't walk like
8:40
Speaker 1: an old person anymore, exactly. Yeah, people have always slept,
8:45
Speaker 1: you know, stretching like, oh, it's not it's not cool,
8:48
Speaker 1: it's boring. But what I really tried to do is
8:51
Speaker 1: make it a unique experience so people would love to
8:54
Speaker 1: do it. And it's just so powerful for mentally, for
8:58
Speaker 1: your brain, for the blow flow of blood throughout your
9:01
Speaker 1: whole body, to prevent injuries, and just to reset your mind.
9:05
Speaker 1: Because people are so stressed out and they're just so tense.
9:08
Speaker 1: They think it's normal. But then when they come into
9:11
Speaker 1: our studio and they lie there for an hour and
9:13
Speaker 1: have someone struts them out there, like I dreamt about this,
9:20
Speaker 1: you know, it really is amazing I'm I'm a very
9:24
Speaker 1: close friend. Uh he was. He was just diagnosed with
9:27
Speaker 1: first stage Parkinson and we talked foot talk and he's
9:32
Speaker 1: fifty one and I told hey, and I told him
9:35
Speaker 1: mysel I said, start stretching. I should just start stretching.
9:41
Speaker 1: He called me a week later and say, man, I
9:45
Speaker 1: can't believe how better how I feel. It makes a
9:50
Speaker 1: huge difference. And I just got to say that I'm
9:53
Speaker 1: not saying this is a miracle drug. This is just
9:56
Speaker 1: taking your natural body and relaxing it and stre and
10:01
Speaker 1: and that's why I feel that what you're doing is important. Well,

15:45
Speaker 1: at www dot money Making Conversations dot com. Hi, this
15:49
Speaker 1: is Roshan McDonald and you're listening to Money Making Conversations.
15:53
Speaker 1: She launched it in so the idea people told it
15:57
Speaker 1: was a bad idea while you're washing your time, go
15:59
Speaker 1: back to school, go to something that they could understand.
16:01
Speaker 1: That's what I was talking about money making conversations that
16:04
Speaker 1: a lot of people tell your tell you your ideas
16:06
Speaker 1: are bad because they have not taken the time to
16:08
Speaker 1: understand your idea. So that what they do is they
16:11
Speaker 1: they walk or they wrap their information or their comments
16:14
Speaker 1: about what they know, what they understand, what they can
16:17
Speaker 1: relate to. So that's what mentorship comes into play. That's
16:21
Speaker 1: where you have to surround yourself with people who are
16:23
Speaker 1: like minded, so they won't shut down your idea. They
16:26
Speaker 1: won't shut down I remember when I was at IBM
16:29
Speaker 1: and and I wanted to be a stand up comic.
16:31
Speaker 1: And I went to some people who were working normal
16:34
Speaker 1: for they all week jobs and told him I was
16:36
Speaker 1: going to be a stand up comic. I was gonna
16:37
Speaker 1: leave IBM. They went, that's a dumb idea. You don't
16:41
Speaker 1: leave a steady check, you're gonna leave health benefits, you're
16:44
Speaker 1: gonna leave a retirement package, and how much money are
16:47
Speaker 1: you gonna make? And honestly told them, I don't know. Well,
16:51
Speaker 1: the in those came faster and so and so that's
16:58
Speaker 1: why I always tell people, you know, we all have passion,
17:00
Speaker 1: we all have dreams, and Kiko, when I look at
17:03
Speaker 1: what you're doing and your millennial, and a lot of
17:06
Speaker 1: millennials get a bad rap. You know they wanted faster,
17:09
Speaker 1: you know they you know they don't want to work
17:11
Speaker 1: hard for I'll just tell you, if I was your
17:13
Speaker 1: age and I had the technology that you have available
17:17
Speaker 1: to you today, when I was growing up, I'll be
17:19
Speaker 1: there'd be bad for Rishan because they'd be bad left right,
17:23
Speaker 1: and my social my social media be on fire. I
17:26
Speaker 1: wouldn't be talking to nobody. I'll be on I'll be
17:29
Speaker 1: walking around my phone. I wouldn't have a big screen TV.
17:32
Speaker 1: I'll be doing everything on my phone because that's where
17:34
Speaker 1: my life here, that's where I feel comfortable with. And
17:36
Speaker 1: so when I look at your but what this is
17:39
Speaker 1: what I love about what you're doing, your millennial that
17:44
Speaker 1: has found the secret sauce for people my age. Yes,
17:52
Speaker 1: and that's beautiful, that's beautiful. Yeah. Most people just focus
17:56
Speaker 1: on millennials like, oh, we have to build our business
17:59
Speaker 1: model to attract millennials. Millennials, and we're sitting here like
18:03
Speaker 1: what makes it so special? What about everybody else, you know,
18:06
Speaker 1: other generations, and so there hasn't really been too many
18:09
Speaker 1: models created for baby boomers. Don't get me wrong. You
18:13
Speaker 1: have clients is younger seven years old that come, but
18:17
Speaker 1: do have a large majority of baby boomers. They they
18:21
Speaker 1: are seeking you know, one on one attention. They don't
18:24
Speaker 1: want to be in rooms full of people startching on,
18:27
Speaker 1: you know, So that really is it really is well,
18:31
Speaker 1: you know the beauty of it. And this is a
18:33
Speaker 1: very good interview. You know, people said, well, what does
18:36
Speaker 1: it have to do with entrepreneurship, What does this have
18:38
Speaker 1: to do with career planning? Because if you do not
18:40
Speaker 1: physically right, mentally right, then the dreams that you're trying
18:44
Speaker 1: to pursue in life will not be reached comfortably. And
18:47
Speaker 1: that's what you're on to do in life. You're trying
18:49
Speaker 1: to comfortably get to the end, to the end game.
18:51
Speaker 1: The end game is all these dreams you have in placed,
18:53
Speaker 1: all these goals you have in placed, that you can
18:55
Speaker 1: get up every day out of bed and then go
18:57
Speaker 1: to bed when you want to and not complain, because
19:00
Speaker 1: the physicality of that effort is key to whether you're
19:03
Speaker 1: gonna accomplish any of those goals. So when someone comes
19:06
Speaker 1: to your studio, Kicker Stretch Studio, walk us through the process.
19:10
Speaker 1: So you you would come in, um you would fill
19:13
Speaker 1: out a waiver and take forms, so they're gonna let
19:17
Speaker 1: us know everything you're experiencing in your body, if you
19:20
Speaker 1: have any injuries, if you have any pain, then we're
19:23
Speaker 1: gonna bring you through a presentation that shows you, like
19:27
Speaker 1: an old school PowerPoint presentation about what we're about to do,
19:32
Speaker 1: how it's going to be beneficial to you, and then
19:34
Speaker 1: we take you through a form that actually hones in
19:38
Speaker 1: on the exact reason why you came into the studio today.
19:42
Speaker 1: So based on that, that's gonna be our goal for
19:44
Speaker 1: the entire experience. So if you tell us my hamstrings
19:48
Speaker 1: have been sore for years, we're gonna target your hamstrings
19:51
Speaker 1: and help unlock that part of your body. What most
19:54
Speaker 1: people don't realize is it's usually one muscle group that's
19:58
Speaker 1: preventing your whole body from relaxing. So once we unlocked that,
20:02
Speaker 1: then you'll be able to live more free. We also
20:06
Speaker 1: measure your stretch age, so we have a measuring system
20:09
Speaker 1: where we tell you how old you are flexibility wise
20:12
Speaker 1: and not. It does not have anything to do with
20:15
Speaker 1: your actual birth age is completely based on your flexibility.
20:19
Speaker 1: So we compare that number before the session and after
20:22
Speaker 1: the session. Usually after the session people get or lose
20:25
Speaker 1: three inches of tension after forty five minutes. So yeah,
20:31
Speaker 1: we're providing all types of results. I mean, that's the
20:34
Speaker 1: wild moment that what what what? Yes? Yeah, yeah, some
20:40
Speaker 1: people see it like wow, I feel better, but I
20:43
Speaker 1: have visible results that I've done better than I have
20:47
Speaker 1: in thirty years, justin forty five minutes. It's really interesting
20:52
Speaker 1: when I when I when I finally listened to my wife,
20:55
Speaker 1: finally finally got my behind on the floor. Okay, I
20:59
Speaker 1: I had everywhere. It wasn't like I wasn't it like
21:01
Speaker 1: I didn't have access to it. If my mind went
21:04
Speaker 1: this would do nothing for me. This is a why stretchy? What?
21:09
Speaker 1: What is there? What is the benefit of that? And
21:12
Speaker 1: all the while I'm complaining, Like you said, I had
21:14
Speaker 1: this muscle group, and the muscle group that was bothering
21:17
Speaker 1: me was my right but tex area that's kind of
21:21
Speaker 1: little above my right hip. I mean I would I
21:24
Speaker 1: would lean and I would walk, I would waddle out walk,
21:28
Speaker 1: I would do every to put some ice on it.
21:30
Speaker 1: Icy hot everything. I was in denial. I needed you
21:38
Speaker 1: kick up. What were you at? I needed you? And
21:41
Speaker 1: the thing is like people can only go so far
21:44
Speaker 1: on their own. So like I started to buy myself
21:46
Speaker 1: all the time, but I'm just stretching by myself. It
21:49
Speaker 1: really takes just like you said, mentors help you get
21:52
Speaker 1: level in life. It really takes a stretch cootes to
21:55
Speaker 1: help you get to another level physically, a place where
21:59
Speaker 1: you've never durience before, a place of freedom all through
22:02
Speaker 1: your body. You need help. You can't do it on
22:04
Speaker 1: your own because people are like, oh, yeah, you know,
22:06
Speaker 1: I've been stretching for years. But then we look at
22:09
Speaker 1: them like, why are you so tight? Because you've been
22:12
Speaker 1: stretching by yourself for years. So what we've really done
22:14
Speaker 1: is developed a way for people to receive freedom within
22:17
Speaker 1: their own bodies. And inven I was the only one
22:21
Speaker 1: doing it. Now we have competitors who are emulating what
22:26
Speaker 1: we've set up. So it's it's if people always ask
22:29
Speaker 1: me like, wow, how do you feel about that? And
22:31
Speaker 1: I told them I'm honored. I started an industry and
22:34
Speaker 1: the huge companies are trying to mimic it like it's
22:38
Speaker 1: it's a great feeling. Well, you know, I guess first
22:40
Speaker 1: of all, they are not own money to make conversation.
22:44
Speaker 1: It's don't want to make conversation because because you have
22:47
Speaker 1: a passionate barce here, it's gonna always shout out your
22:51
Speaker 1: name and your brain to come to show up in
22:53
Speaker 1: class and start stretching. You can help me your flex here, flexible,
22:58
Speaker 1: I could been a little bit more. Come on, work
23:01
Speaker 1: with that. Make up about five words when we finished
23:04
Speaker 1: this show. But let's talk about this a little bit
23:07
Speaker 1: of the business side, because we're talking about franchises, and
23:10
Speaker 1: you know, it's always easy. You know when you when
23:13
Speaker 1: you control the baby, you know the you know the
23:15
Speaker 1: food come out you're cooking in that oven because you're
23:18
Speaker 1: around it all the time. When you start telling franchises,
23:21
Speaker 1: you know, that's just your brand. And then you put
23:24
Speaker 1: your brand in the hands of somebody else and trusted them.
23:28
Speaker 1: The money is fine, but it's still your name's up there.
23:31
Speaker 1: How do you how did you get past that? And
23:34
Speaker 1: what are the benefits of you know, of franchising. So actually, okay,
23:40
Speaker 1: so I just had this conversation with someone, So I
23:43
Speaker 1: mentor people and I helped them franchise their own businesses too.
23:47
Speaker 1: So one of the things you said was I'm horrible
23:49
Speaker 1: with people works. I'm I'm not worried locations, but I'm
23:55
Speaker 1: just not organized enough to make it grow. And that's
23:57
Speaker 1: one of the benefits of having franchise these you can
24:01
Speaker 1: find franchise partners who are great in areas that you're
24:05
Speaker 1: not great at, bring them on, and then together as
24:08
Speaker 1: a unit your whole. So one of the things that
24:11
Speaker 1: I've really learned this year specifically is the power of
24:15
Speaker 1: having exceptional franchise e s. And you know, when I
24:20
Speaker 1: first started, I used to say, oh, this is what
24:22
Speaker 1: we can do for you, this is what we can
24:23
Speaker 1: offer you, and then I say I need to ask
24:26
Speaker 1: what can you offer us? What can you offer me?
24:30
Speaker 1: What can you offer the brand? And so that's definitely
24:33
Speaker 1: something very important for people to ask, like when franchising,
24:37
Speaker 1: what is this franchise, how are they going to help you?
24:40
Speaker 1: And what can they add to the whole message? So really,
24:45
Speaker 1: you know, it's really because it is that that they
24:48
Speaker 1: have the right to ask that question. Because everybody's they
24:51
Speaker 1: see an opportunity to see an opportunity to make money.
24:53
Speaker 1: That's when we have to put the pump the brakes
24:55
Speaker 1: right there. Okay, I got that. But it also is
24:58
Speaker 1: the work you're willing to put in. Do you care
25:00
Speaker 1: about the brand and do you care about the people
25:03
Speaker 1: that are gonna be coming through their dual, because that's
25:06
Speaker 1: where the customer relationships come in. That's when you can
25:09
Speaker 1: get the ugly other good social media posts. And when
25:11
Speaker 1: the social media post goes out there, that's across the brand. Okay,
25:17
Speaker 1: that's across the brand. And so and I was reading
25:19
Speaker 1: I was reading in your bios and there are three
25:21
Speaker 1: valuable pieces of advice about franchising. One, be passionate about
25:26
Speaker 1: whatever opportunity to you are pursuing. Too, you don't have
25:30
Speaker 1: to quit your job to go after your dream. Work
25:33
Speaker 1: your way into it. To tell people all the time,
25:37
Speaker 1: if you're feeling overwhelmed, I love this, delegate, Delegate, Delegate, Yes,
25:45
Speaker 1: every day I asked myself, what else can I delegate
25:48
Speaker 1: because I'm feeling overwhelmed. That's that's honestly the That's the
25:52
Speaker 1: point of being in business to offer jobs to people.
25:55
Speaker 1: So you shouldn't be trying to do everything. You should
25:57
Speaker 1: be offering these opportunities to others and helping their families grow,
26:01
Speaker 1: not just yours, now your studios, your method? Can you do?
26:06
Speaker 1: We walk through your method a couple of Can you
26:08
Speaker 1: just explain your method a little bit more before you
26:10
Speaker 1: wrap up the show so I can make sure everybody
26:11
Speaker 1: understand what exactly is the Kikup method. Yep. So it's
26:16
Speaker 1: based on the dancers approach of stretching. So we use
26:19
Speaker 1: stretch coaches that replace gravity. So as the client lies
26:23
Speaker 1: on a custom max you're lying on a mat the
26:26
Speaker 1: whole time. We teach you how to completely let go
26:29
Speaker 1: of all of your tensions, so you're lying their length
26:32
Speaker 1: and we follow your breath pattern to add the stretch.
26:35
Speaker 1: So imagine lying there completely length. You don't have to
26:38
Speaker 1: hold your body up, You just relax and having someone
26:41
Speaker 1: take you a bit further than you could ever go
26:43
Speaker 1: on on and that we do your entire body. We
26:46
Speaker 1: end it with a little bit of attention relief um
26:50
Speaker 1: treatment on your back and then you stand up and
26:52
Speaker 1: you feel like a new person. Okay, I need to
26:57
Speaker 1: bring a pillow blanket. We have specific Hello, you can't
27:06
Speaker 1: take a napp I know how you about to look
27:08

27:19
Speaker 1: middle of That's good. There you go. I love it,
27:24

27:33
Speaker 1: year we're looking to add seven more franchisees uh uh

Speaker 1: qualified candidates that can really add to the overall brand. UM. So,
27:43
Speaker 1: of course scaling and adding um to the unit is
27:46
Speaker 1: always important. But then we're also working on creating a
27:50
Speaker 1: franchise university of some sorts, some people who maybe don't
27:54
Speaker 1: have enough money to get involved with, people who don't
27:57
