On this, the opening week of the newest Star Wars movie, Franklin tells the little-known, Star Wars Episode 1.25 (or 3.25 depending on when you start counting).

In this episode, we hear Franklin’s origin story as he confronts his Nemesis, relaunches the podcast, becomes an entrepreneur and a hero! (Entreprenero)

If you can’t get into heaven, the “normal” way, you’re gonna need a plan. Fortunately, Franklin has a plan. (Nobody said it was a good plan, it’s just a plan.)
