This week the International Franchise Association (IFA) announced Bill O'Reilly as its keynote speaker.

I'm truly very excited to hear him. This is a great selection.

Steve Caldeira, IFA president and CEO said in a press release, "Bill O'Reilly's views on politics, business and the overall economy, particularly in a presidential election year, will be well-received by the anticipated 3,000 convention attendees, which include thousands of franchise business leaders and industry suppliers."

I agree with Steve. Bill O'Reilly's viewpoints on business align with those of IFA members. When he speaks to the huge IFA audience, I expect O'Reilly to be fiery and controversial. He'll blast several in office.

I'm not saying I'll support or argue with what he has to say, but I am saying I expect it to be an entertaining 45 minutes to an hour.

Kudos to the IFA for being bold in its selection.
