Do What You Love and Figure Out Who You Are Before Doing the Work

In this multi-topic episode, Jen and Todd share their thoughts on the importance of passion and self-discovery in both personal and business life.

Jen starts with a heartfelt story about a client who was moved to tears after Jen transformed her hair with extensions, reminding Jen why she loves her work.

Todd follows with a discussion on the significance of doing the work to figure out who you are, emphasizing that copying others won't lead to success.

They also explore the dynamics within salons, the importance of attracting the right kind of clientele, and how new hairstylists should approach building their careers.

Moreover, the conversation shifts to business strategies, using Trader Joe's unique model as an example to illustrate how businesses can thrive by doing things differently.
