JF 3942: Flywheels, Franchising, and the Future of Real Estate Investing ft. Cameron Herold

On this episode of Next Level CRE, Matt Faircloth interviews Cameron Herold, founder of the COO Alliance and former COO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK. They dive into the nuanced roles of CEO versus COO, and why so many entrepreneurs misunderstand what they truly need in a second-in-command. Cameron shares how building 1-800-GOT-JUNK into a globally admired brand came from creating a strong culture, leveraging free PR, and obsessively developing a business “flywheel.” He also offers tactical advice for hiring, building trust between co-leaders, and crafting a vivid vision that unites and inspires teams—even at the early stages of growth.
