What Nobody Tells You About Business Partnerships

In this episode of the Destroy The Hairdresser Podcast, David shares his perspective on partnership, leadership, and what it actually takes to build a business with another person over the course of a decade.From hard conversations and emotional intelligence to division of roles and learning how to trust each other’s strengths, this episode pulls back the curtain on the reality of running a company together — especially in an industry built on burnout and control.Cyd and David talk about how partnership evolves over time, the mistakes they made early on, and why conscious communication matters more than “perfect systems.”If you’ve ever struggled with leadership, business dynamics, or feeling alone while building your salon, this episode is going to hit hard.Want deeper conversations like this every single week? Join us inside the Hairdresser Business Club where we teach leadership, social media, hiring, pricing, and modern salon business strategies live every week. And don’t forget the Disobedient Business Tour is happening in NYC this July for salon owners ready to think differently, lead differently, and salon differently. 💣
