S1E1: From Bugs to Barber

Barbering is all about relationship. Without relationships, you have no business, no shop, and you certainly have no need for top-notch clippers. For this very first episode, I'm joined by Alex Vega from Blended Barbershop. He shares his story of working as a pest control technician to making the leap into barbering and ultimately building his own "busy book".3 Rapid Insights from this Episode1. Worthwhile experimentation starts with curiosity.2. Education with community accelerates our growth irrespective of profession.3. It's more beneficial to play to your strengths than compare yourself to others.Mic Drop Statements from Alex- "I don't acquire clients, I build relationships."- "People can see sincerity."- "Building a "busy book" is coming in early, staying late, and trusting the process."- "It's all about the small wins."- "It's all in how you look at life. It's not all beach houses and Bugattis."Connect with Alex and Blended BarbershopAlex Vega Instagram: @softspokenbarberBlended Barbershop Instagram: @blended847
