IAM2566 - Mastering the Art of Broker Meetings

In this special episode, Gresham Harkless is having a powerful realization—he’s not just building a business, he’s stepping into his true calling.

 

After connecting with another nearby broker, he sees clearly how fast the Franchise Brokers Association is evolving, moving toward a model that elevates content creators and influencer-type leaders.

 

Gresham is embracing his role as a connector, the person who brings the right people together and tells the stories that matter. 

 

He’s exploring the co-brokering model to create more opportunities through collaboration rather than competition, and he envisions building a platform where his strength in content and connections can shine. 

 

By integrating this approach into his “CEO Hacks” brand, he’s unlocking a bigger vision: helping entrepreneurs find the right franchise could be one of the ultimate hacks for success. 

 

Gresham is leaning into what lights him up—storytelling, connecting, and creating—and recognizing that this is his sweet spot.
