										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="has-drop-cap">It&#8217;s Thanksgiving, which means family and business (and sometimes family business) here on the <em>Wild Business Growth Podcast</em>. This year, I had the pleasure of interviewing one of my favorite people &#8211; Uncle Randy. Randy Branstetter is known as The Chicken Man for his time as a successful KFC franchisee. And he&#8217;s now known as a dynamite podcaster for being this week&#8217;s <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://maxpodcasting.com/wild-business-growth-podcast/" target="_blank">Wild Business Growth Podcast</a></em> guest.
