From Minimum Wage to Ownership (with Jeff Wasserman)

What does it really take to go from minimum wage employee to business owner? In this episode of Magic & Logic, Josh sits down with Jeff Wasserman, owner of 10 Supplement Superstores franchise locations, to talk about perseverance, leadership, company culture, and what it means to earn your place. Jeff shares the story of starting behind the counter at 19 years old, spending nearly two decades climbing through the company, and eventually becoming an owner. Along the way, he reflects on the lessons he learned from working alongside Andy Frisella, why belief and discipline compound over time, and how great leaders create standards that people actually want to live up to. The conversation also explores customer experience, ownership mentality, the challenges of leading through change, and why Jeff believes most people underestimate the value of staying the course. If you care about leadership, entrepreneurship, business, or becoming someone worth following, this conversation is for you.
