They&#8217;ve got so much skin in the game, that their passion inspires me to be equally passionate about it as a paid advocate. With some industries it might be more difficult to represent a position, whereas IFA&#8217;s members and the franchising community at large are so invested in a deeply personal way that it makes it more impactful when we can do something to improve the business environment for our members to operate. You can&#8217;t say that about every industry.</span></div><div style="">&nbsp;</div><div><span style=""><span style=""><strong>What is the top challenge facing young people in franchising?</strong></span></span></div><div style="">&nbsp;</div><div style=""><span style=" ">Finding more young people to get involved in the greater good for franchising &#8211; whether it&#8217;s politically, through our grassroots efforts, or with the IFA Foundation. People who have been in franchising for a long time are more inclined to get involved and give &#8211; whether it&#8217;s time or money &#8211; but young people are generally more focused on themselves. I&#8217;m probably guilty of it too &#8211; it&#8217;s something that is a personal goal for me as I move into the next phase of my career &#8211; finding time to give back to causes and organizations that you believe helped you get to where you are today.</span></div><div style="">&nbsp;</div><div><span style=""><span style=""><strong>What is your dream position/goal?</strong></span></span></div><div style="">&nbsp;</div><div style=""><span style=" ">I&#8217;m a big believer that the best stuff finds you, so I&#8217;ll know it when I see it.</span></div><div style="">&nbsp;</div><div style=""><span style=" ">To connect with Matt on LinkedIn, </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewhaller?authType=NAME_SEARCH&amp%3BauthToken=2poh&amp%3Blocale=en_US&amp%3Bsrchid=205365101456493711639&amp%3Bsrchindex=1&amp%3Bsrchtotal=1&amp%3Btrk=vsrp_people_res_name&amp%3BtrkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A205365101456493711639%2CVSRPtargetId%3A15074121%2CVSRPcmpt%3Aprimary%2CVSRPnm%3Atrue%2CauthType%3ANAME_SEARCH&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=young-ones-to-watch-matt-haller-3773" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style=""><span style="Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;major-latin;major-latin;Calibri">click here</span></a><span style=" ">.</span></div>
