The MORE Show

Billion dollar solar companies like Titan, SunPower, and SunNova collapsed almost overnight and most real estate investors and agents have no idea what that means for their deals. In this episode of The M.O.R.E. Show, Justin Colby sits down with Hung Nguyen, founder of Detach Reset Solar, who discovered one of the most overlooked niches in the entire real estate and home services space. Hung built a business around a single problem that nobody was solving, removing, storing, and reinstalling solar panels so roofing contractors could do their work and turned it into a blue ocean opportunity with a total addressable market covering millions of homes across the country. KEY TOPICS COVERED: Why major solar companies like Titan, SunPower, and SunNova went completely bankrupt. The detach and reset solar niche explained — and why almost nobody knew it existed How Hung Nguyen discovered the opportunity from a roofing contractor who couldn't sell roofs. Why real estate investors and agents need to understand solar panels on every property they buy or sell.

In this episode of The Science of Flipping, I sat down with 33-year-old serial entrepreneur Alex Smereczniak, the founder of Franzy.com — what he calls the Zillow of franchising. Alex walked me through how franchising really works, why it’s far more accessible than people think, and how everyday entrepreneurs can build serious wealth through franchises, cash flow, and real estate. We talk about the hottest industries, the best opportunities, how to choose the right brand, and how the franchise + real-estate model can create multiple streams of income and even multi-million-dollar exits. This conversation opened my eyes to opportunities I didn’t even know existed — and it might do the same for you. About Alex Smereczniak Alex Smereczniak is a serial entrepreneur and the Co-Founder & CEO of Franzy, the platform known as the “Zillow for franchising.” Before building Franzy, Alex launched and scaled 2ULaundry and LaundroLab, raising over $30M in venture capital and expanding the brands across multiple markets. His experience as both a founder and franchisor gives him unique insight into business ownership, franchise systems, operations, and scaling.
