Ep. 66 | Overlooked to OverBooked
"I ain't started from the bottom, I started from the beginning" - Oddisee "Tangible Dream" When you're the new person in the shop, it can be tough to get known. Its hard to get a following when no one will sit in your chair. Here's my story on that.....

Ep. 59 | A Service Industry
We are in a service industry. We provide service to people. When you are in service to others, you don't rule over them, but rather come beside them and lift them up. In this episode, I discuss what that looks like and I go off on another subject as well.....making money from the great service you provide.

Ep. 52 "Check ya motives!" w/ @rockyourbarber
What is your why?
Rocco Danieli co-owns Over the Top Barbershop in Stoneham, MA. He also owns Uplift Provisions, a pomade and product company. This man is an everlasting battery and a major inspiration for me.

Ep. 51 IMPACT w/ my dudes from the @barbersden
Such a dope discussion! I talk to Steve(@este617) and Evan(@evagoras_) from The Barbersden, a multi-location shop here in MA. I've been a huge fan of these dudes for a few years. In my opinion, they just get it right. I labeled this IMPACT because they've made one on me, I have on them and we collectively have on the industry and all of our clients. It's all about the positive impact on the world around you.
(For some reason, I sound like Big Pun sucking in breaths between raps. hahaha)

Ep. 50 Talkin biz with my guy @trimreaper__
Trim is Brady Adam. He is a Hanzo educator and a bomb-ass barber. I always love talking to him because there's a drive he possesses that impresses me. He doesn't talk about it either....... you have to pull it out of him. As far as I can tell, he's a practitioner of things I believe in: Steadfastness, relentless effort and being impeccable. Listen to our very first interview a while back here and see how far he's come in the industry.

Ep. 49 From Cape to Payment.....Barber fundamentals.
I'm a big fan of fundamentals. Wether it's basketball, weight-training or barbering, I focus on the simple tasks. My belief is once you've mastered the small things, the big moves are easier and they happen faster.
Ep. 48 A Part of my Path Pt. 1
I've learned a ton of great lessons every year of my life. I really didn't see them as lessons at the time tho. My goal is to get you to understand the angle I take on most things in my life. I believe it will help you.

Ep. 46: 2020.....time to get grateful
Stop making lists of all the stuff you hate about your life. Start looking at what you have to be thankful for. If you can read this, that's one thing to start with.....being grateful for your sight. I'm grateful for your attention here.

I get to chop it up with one of my guys, Eddie. AKA @masacote. He's been in the game just as long as me. We come from a pre-Instagram era of barbering. Learn how he got started, built his clientele and how he handles the dreaded "No-Call/No-Show" All good info!!!!!

Ep. 40 Marathon Vs. Sprint w/ @tootdabarber
“Life is a marathon not a sprint, and we living in a sprint era.” - Toot
On this episode, I chop it up with one of the people I look up to most in this industry. He's a Philly native but cuts all over the country. Most notably, he's the Nike Barber for the NFL Combine. But no matter the accolades or money made, he stays humble, consistent and true to the craft. This is one of my favorite episodes so far!!!

Ep. 27 "You gotta work every angle" w the homie @matteogetz
I've known Getz for a long time and I wanted my listeners to know him too. He never stops pursuing his dream and never has given up despite many real-life setbacks. All hustle, all day. Plus he's a funny bastard. At times, I forget we are recording because I'm so familiar with him......but it's entertaining to say the least.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION!!!
