He Lost His Cutting Hand and Still Built a 30-Year Career ft. Dwayne "Lefty" Phelps

I hadn't seen Dwayne Phelps in almost thirty years. Turns out we came up through the same beauty school, the same circles, and somehow never worked together once.He's the owner of The Shop by Lefty's here in the Valley, and there's a reason for that name. I'll let him tell you.We got into barbering, faith, building something that lasts, and yes, I finally asked him about those chalk lines. You know the ones.Thank you for watching, always.
