Navigating Franchising, Failure, and Fatherhood | Red Boswell | Ep. 202
Episode 202
Monday, 23 February, 2026
In this episode of The Girl Dad Show, host Young Han sits down with Red Boswell, President of the International Franchise Professionals Group (IFPG), longtime franchise executive, and father of three, for a wide-ranging conversation on entrepreneurship, parenting, and building a life rooted in growth and strong relationships. Red brings more than 30 years of executive leadership across franchising, marketing, and entrepreneurship. As President of IFPG, he has helped grow the organization into the #1 franchise broker network, recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine for seven consecutive years. Prior to IFPG, Red founded and scaled a 148-unit pet-service franchise system, launched a franchise and marketing consulting firm, and held senior growth and CEO roles within global franchise organizations. At the heart of this episode is Red’s perspective on fatherhood and family. He shares what it’s been like raising three entrepreneurial-minded children, navigating the transition into an empty-nest season, and why communication and intentionality are essential as kids grow more independent. Red also opens up about learning through failure, the importance of knowing yourself as a leader, and how maintaining a strong partnership with his wife has anchored both his personal and professional life. They explore franchising as a vehicle for opportunity, the often-underestimated role of franchise consultants, and why balancing ambition with family presence is key to long-term fulfillment. Red also touches on the hobbies and passions that keep him energized, from off-road electric skateboarding to water sports. ✨ All episodes of The Girl Dad Show are proudly sponsored by Thesis, helping founders go further, together.
