Richard Kavanagh (Hair Stylist and Tech Entrepreneur)

In this episode, I welcome Richard Kavanagh to the studio, a multi award winning hair stylist, turned tech entrepreneur, who epitomises the definition of rebel, in every sense of the word. Having grown up with a conservative upbringing in New Zealand during the 80's, Richard rejected the academic vision his family had for him and in doing so, threw himself into a world of self exploration through fashion, drugs, and rock n'roll. Although his creative spirit shined through, it was his lack of discipline that made him feel lost, that is until he found the art of karate to bring him back in line and prepare him for a creative career most people would die for.
