Best thing about the Convention: John’s favorite part of the convention is interacting with one another and the opportunity to get to know each other better.
Best thing about the RTOA: The family environment with the RTOA. A recent example is his son Caleb needed surgery in the Los Angeles area and rather than staying in a hotel, local franchisee owners, the Eastom’s, reached out and offered to host John and Caleb in their own home. The more you give to the RTOA, the more benefits you will reap from it.
