Barbers Breaking Boundaries at Vagaro Iconic 2025
Recorded live at Vagaro Iconic 2025 in Napa Valley, this second set of interviews dives deeper into the barbering community. Joanne Starkman and guest co-host Casey Voss connect with three bold voices who are not only redefining the industry—but challenging what’s possible behind the chair. Each story is grounded in purpose, grit, and a drive to serve through creativity.

Real Stories, Real Leadership
Carmina Barragan shares how embracing her identity as a bilingual, bicultural barber has empowered her work and connected her with clients on a soul level. Then John Mosley, known as Popular Nobody, unpacks the philosophy behind his growing movement. He introduces Humble Hustle Economics—a micro-dose education platform for creatives looking to scale with integrity, not ego. His presence is as impactful as his message.

From the Streets to Global Stages
Lici Quintero brings it all home with her rags-to-riches story, sharing how she once found refuge during a time of housing insecurity and transformed her life through sheer determination. She opens up about the challenges she’s overcome, her passion for representing women in barbering, and how Vagaro's tools help her manage a truly global brand. Her journey is a powerful reminder of what's possible when resilience meets intention.
