12. Nick-Anthony Zamucen is a name that has become synonymous with success in the franchising industry. As the founder of Best Option Restoration (B.O.R.) and Bio-One Inc., he has proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with. Not only has he built successful businesses, but he has also sold them for impressive profits. With over 25 years of experience as a business strategist and entrepreneur, Nick has established himself as an authority in the industry. He has published four books that have helped countless entrepreneurs achieve success in their own businesses. But it's his real-world experience that truly sets him apart. Best Option Restoration is Nick's latest franchised organization and it's one that dominates the water, fire, mold and content cleaning space. This is his fourth franchised company, having previously opened, grown and exited Uncle Vito's Pizzeria Franchise, Saint Home Care, a nonmedical senior homecare franchise, and Bio-One, the nation's leader in the franchised bioremediation industry. 12 | October 2023

13. Best Option Restoration Best Option Restoration has established itself as a dominant player in the water, mold, fire, and content remediation space at a national level and is now poised for global expansion. Under Nick's leadership, the company has set its sights on disrupting the established players in the industry, whom he prefers not to name to avoid further publicity. Nick's bold vision for the future involves surpassing these industry incumbents to become the new standard-bearer in the field. He sends a clear message to the old guards that they should take note, as they are on Best Option Restoration's radar, and the company is determined to challenge them for their title. A Strong Advocate for Embracing Entrepreneurship Nick is passionate about encouraging more individuals to embrace an entrepreneurial spirit. He believes that there is nothing quite like waking up each morning, knowing that the success of your endeavors rests solely on your shoulders. While Nick acknowledges that not everyone thrives under pressure, he personally finds that it brings out the worldsleaders.com | 13

15. A Lifelong Learner and Mentor to the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs Nick is dedicated to continuous learning and skill development. He consistently enrolls in classes, reads books, and renes his leadership methods to ensure he remains at the top of his game. Given the rapid pace of change in the world, Nick recognizes that failing to improve means falling behind. He also frequently provides guidance to young entrepreneurs, teaching courses, and helping new businesses grow. This allows him to stay in touch with the newest generation of business owners. One common mistake he sees among novices is the belief that success will happen overnight, which can be demoralizing when they realize it takes time and effort. Nick understands that failure and perseverance are part of the entrepreneurial journey, and he strives to convey this message to those he mentors. worldsleaders.com | 15

16. Prioritizing Cultural Fit and Fun in the Workplace According to Nick, finding the right cultural fit is crucial when hiring new employees. While he can provide training on office procedures and how to handle various tasks, he believes that certain qualities cannot be taught, such as a good sense of humor, a positive outlook on the future, and a strong work ethic. Nick emphasizes that his team follows a "work hard, play hard" ethos, and they prioritize having fun while getting the job done. For instance, their corporate office boasts a full-sized working craps table from Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, which underscores their commitment to enjoying their work environment. Ultimately, if an employee is not having fun, they may need to reconsider their career path and find a more suitable role elsewhere. Major Changes in the Industry Nick believes that the biggest change he has witnessed in the restoration industry is the innovation he brought to the table. Specifically, the thermal technology he developed has revolutionized the field and is the best evolution in restoration in over 50 years. With the ability to speed dry with heat, Nick sees this approach as the future of restoration, and Best Option Restoration is at the forefront of this movement from day one. Rather than playing catch-up to competitors, Nick's team is leading the way and shaping the future of the industry. best in him. Pressure serves as a litmus test, revealing what one is truly made of. Some individuals excel under such conditions, while others may struggle. Nick believes it's important to understand which category you fall under, as it might just surprise you. Regardless of whether pressure is your friend or foe, Nick is a firm advocate of pursuing an entrepreneurial path and discovering what you're truly capable of achieving. Living a Life Fueled by Responsibility and Joy Believing in Risks and Invest in New Ventures Nick firmly believes that the buck stops with him and he holds ultimate responsibility for every aspect of the business, including training, support, innovation, and strategy. As the leader, he recognizes that it all starts from the top, and he takes his role seriously. However, despite the weight of his responsibilities, Nick finds great joy in his personal life. The happiest part of his day is waking up early, around 4am, and hitting the gym before coming home to make breakfast for his three children. His wife joins in by preparing school lunches, and they enjoy a normal morning chatting about various topics, including life and business. For Nick, his family is always the best part of his day, and he believes that no amount of money could replace the value of time spent with loved ones. Ultimately, time is the ultimate master of his life, and he strives to make the most of each day. Nick is a risk-taker and is comfortable putting everything on the line. He is known to take risks every single day and is not afraid to bet it all on red. One of the biggest risks he has recently taken is investing over 20 million dollars in the Oil & Gas industry and knowing little about it. Nick believes in investing in people and relies on the expertise of those people to continue running a company honestly, efficacity, and profitably. While his accountant thinks it's a bit crazy to risk such a large sum of money, Nick believes that you can't take it with you and he is confident in his ability to make money. Even if the investment did not yield the desired results, Nick would survive because he is not afraid to take risks and fail. For him, the journey is what matters, and he lives for the ride rather than being focused solely on the money. 16 | October 2023

24. Coaching as Business Leaders Brad came from modest beginnings in Brisbane, Australia. While he was a university student, Sugars managed a number of small businesses. As his talents became more widely recognized, many business owners and executives began requesting that he share his knowledge on topics such as team development, marketing, and sales by speaking to their organizations. The key driving force to join this sector for Brad was realizing the missing component between knowledge and implementation was to coach business owners rather than just give them the information and let them figure out what to do with it. He wanted business owners to put what they learned to practice. Not being able to meet the high demands he concluded that coaching was the way to go for business owners who wanted to take the next step in their businesses. Jim Rohn has had the greatest professional impact on Brad Sugars' life, as nobody else has. When Brad was a teenager, he managed to save up his allowance in order to attend one of Rohn's seminars, where he was the youngest member of the audience. What he learned from Rohn during that seminar has influenced his business practices and beliefs throughout his life. Taking Reach to Globally Brad Sugars' mission in business coaching is to empower business owners with the tools and strategies they need to transform their lives and positively impact their communities, while also affording the lifestyles they have always desired. His vision for ActionCOACH is to expand its reach globally and operate in over 120 nations in the upcoming years. Sugars is committed to sharing the knowledge he has acquired over the years, believing that it can guide and support entrepreneurs worldwide in achieving their goals with his help and lessons. Executive coaching is a valuable investment for any business leader who wants to enhance their performance, improve their leadership skills, and achieve their goals. Executive coaching can help leaders develop a wide range of skills, including strategic thinking, effective communication, conflict resolution, and decision- making. By honing these skills, leaders can better guide their teams and organizations to success. Brad Sugars, Founder, Chairman, and President of ActionCOACH, boasts more than 30 years of business experience and strongly advocates for the notion that a company should be able to operate successfully without the constant involvement of its owners, allowing them to spend time with their families or pursue their desired lifestyles. His multi-million-dollar franchise, ActionCOACH, operates in over 70 countries and employs more than 1,000 coaches who work with more than 15,000 businesses each week. Sugars is deeply committed to supporting entrepreneurs and enabling them to learn and grow from both his triumphs and setbacks. 24 | October 2023

Among his many roles, Rob was a former Vice President of a large Indigenous Investment Firm, has been on the executive of National Indigenous organizations, operated his own consulting practice and has been recognized as a “Top 50 Executives in Canada 2020”. His unique experience has given him an in-depth understanding of Indigenous issues and opportunities. Within MNP his duties pivot frequently, but Rob would have to say that they are rooted in: contributing to the business vision and direction; identifying and developing new products; assisting team members in navigating the system; client relations; marketing and communications; and cultural understanding. The best aspect of his schedule is that there is no regularity; each day appears to be an adventure with something fresh to offer. When his team and clients succeed, in his opinion that is the best part of his job. I ndigenous societies and groups are unique in terms of culture. Despite making up roughly 6% of the world's population, they represent about 19% of the extremely poor. Indigenous peoples frequently face numerous obstacles to fully participating in the formal economy, having access to justice, and participating in political processes and decision-making. They frequently lack formal recognition over their lands, territories, and natural resources; they frequently receive the last government investments in basic services and infrastructure; and they frequently receive government investments after other groups. As a result of the legacy of injustice and marginalization, Indigenous peoples are more susceptible to the effects of climate change and natural disasters, including disease outbreaks like COVID-19. In an effort to be an advocate for Indigenous people, Rob Campbell, the National Director of Indigenous Services at MNP, works hard to educate people about Indigenous issues and dispel misconceptions. Rob adds, "I love to be in a room where we can collectively find solutions, laugh, share emotions, and build something that helps.” MNP Since MNP is a more significant national provider of assurance, consultancy, and tax services, it offers all the customary services one should anticipate from a company of its size. It provides a very broad variety of assistance built on a lifetime of tried- and-true experience. It offers a special fusion of specialist knowledge and abilities along with continual customer engagement to make sure their needs are being met and that they are assisting the clients in moving forward.

His definition of success can be personal fulfillment, and knowing it made a positive difference. Mr. Campbell has established some excellent networks across the nation and does his best to tap into these extraordinary folks to provide their unique perspective.

He attempts to listen as an entrepreneur and look for trends or connections that let them see into the future.

Fragrances help make life complete. They emphasise the value of scent, a frequently undervalued human sense that, along with sight and sound, gives a priceless vibrancy to the tapestry of life.
