    Franchise ownership isn’t just about building a business — it’s about building stronger communities. At Homefront Brands, one of the most important responsibilities of becoming a franchise owner is finding meaningful ways to give back. Philanthropy is not an afterthought in our system — it’s a core value. When our franchise owners succeed, we believe our communities should succeed too. That’s exactly what this episode of Heroes on the Homefront is all about. In this episode, Jeff Dudan and the Window Hero team partner with Ambassador Christian School in Huntersville, North Carolina — founded by Melissa Gibbs — to help create a safer environment for students and staff by installing security window film across the school campus. What began as a simple line item in a fundraising request quickly became an incredible community effort. Window Hero franchise owners from across North Carolina and South Carolina came together to donate their time, expertise, and resources to install protective window film designed to help slow forced entry and give authorities valuable response time during an emergency. But this story is about more than a product. It’s about franchise owners stepping up for their communities, protecting future generations, and using business as a platform to make a real impact. Melissa Gibbs shares the deeply personal story that led her to launch Ambassador Christian School after the passing of her husband, J.D. Gibbs — and how the school is building a place where students can grow academically, spiritually, and emotionally. You’ll also see a real-world demonstration of Window Hero’s security film technology and how it reinforces glass against forced entry while maintaining visibility and functionality for schools, businesses, and homes. At Homefront Brands, we believe strong businesses should create stronger communities. This project is a perfect example of what happens when franchise owners, partners, and community leaders link arms for a greater mission.

    Most businesses don’t have a people problem — they have a clarity problem. In this episode, Jeff Dudan sits down with Steve Baker (VP, The Great Game of Business | co-author of Get in the Game and the 20th Anniversary edition of The Great Game of Business) to break down why “open-book management” isn’t about spreadsheets… it’s about building ownership, accountability, and a winning culture. ✅ What you’ll learn: Why leaders hide financials (and why it backfires) The real goal of open-book management: education + transparency How to get employees to think like owners without “boss energy” Why forecasting beats quotas (and kills sandbagging) Mini-games: the 90-day system to drive results and engagement How this applies to franchisees, franchisors, and operators 📉 Reality check: Steve shares that the median net profit for many small-to-mid sized businesses is about 6.5 cents on the dollar — and most teams have no idea. When people understand the game, they make better decisions.
