Excuse the pun, but our inaugural guest Joanne Powers is a powerhouse in the beauty industry! Founder and CEO of Shear Art Salons, founder and CEO of Summit Salon Academy Tampa, and a stylist for many years behind the chair, Joanne brings the perfect combination of business and people skills to her work. In this episode, you'll also get to know host Blake Reed Evans, Joanne's business partner and protégé, and an educator in his own right. 

SUMM IT UP is produced by Andrea Muraskin, with editorial support from Tim Fisk.
