Show Notes

In this episode of The Victory Podcast, host Travis Cody sits down with James Miller II—former Subway franchise mogul, marketing innovator, and founder of Ignite Consulting Group. James shares the remarkable story of how he scaled from owning two Subway stores to building a 50+ location empire generating $20M+ in revenue—and helped launch the iconic $5 Footlong promotion that drove over $3.8 billion in sales. From growing up on a pig farm and starting a breeding business at age 13, to being recruited by Walmart for guessing their 10-year growth plan, James’s entrepreneurial instincts were obvious from the start. He reveals how he built high-performing teams, navigated massive expansion, and avoided burnout by staying true to three essential business pillars: people, product, and profit. Whether you're a founder hitting a growth plateau or a leader managing rapid scale, this episode is filled with practical wisdom and hard-won business truths.
