It helps people build individual wealth while maintaining a healthy support system. The Franchisor and franchisee both win when the customer wins.

Favorite sidekick?
Tough. I have said piglet before because he was always by Pooh's side to help him find his way. BUT, I am also going to say Silver Surfer even though he was the sidekick to a monster known as Galactus, he gave up his current life to save his world and the ones he loved and in returned used that position to save other inhabited worlds as well steering the monster to non populated worlds the best he could.
