He is a living testament to a smooth transition from playing football at the highest level to stepping into a new career as a franchisee. Watch the interview and read insights about how Henry decided on franchising, picked Playa Bowls among thousands of brands, and pulled the trigger on moving to Nashville. ??Link in comments.
