Chris Baran's Headcases

We've got a very close friend of mine this week. He's the Director of Education of L'Oréal Professional Products Division. He is a leadership team builder and a personal development specialist. He has traveled the world helping people find peace and purpose in their lives. And he once tried out as pitcher for the New York Yankees. Please welcome to Headcases: Johnny Stellato.

• John grew up in Yonkers, New York. He was into music and sports and really was scouted by the Yankees

• He shares his concept of the quiet mind and how he found calm in the face of adversity

• Hair school was not the best time for Johnny, but it was here that he met Valerie, who would eventually become his wife. This was also where he found his calling as coach.

My very special guest this week is so committed to elevating the salon industry that he wrote a best-selling book about it called "Beautiful Business". He won NAHA's Lifetime Achievement Award and Editorial Stylist of the Year, and was inducted into the London Hairdresser Hall of Fame. He has a very successful salon in Manhattan and I am proud to call him a good friend. Please welcome Sam Brocato.

• Sam became hooked on the beauty industry at 16, when his mom took him to her part-time job at a local beauty school

• early in his career he showed his boss an ad in Modern Salon for training in London, and he gave him the money to sign up. Everyone was there at Sassoon's - Vidal, Trevor Sorbie, Christopher Booker, Roger Thompson

• Paul Mitchell and Horst Rechelbacher both encouraged Sam, even if it was in very different ways

• The title of Sam's book, Beautiful Business, refers to using both sides of the brain - creative and logical. Sam has always tried to use both to propel his very successful career.

I have been really looking forward to today. My guest is the author of the best-seller "Profitable Salon Owners" and the co-founder of High Performance Salon Academy. He has led wildly successful training events for Redken, Matrix, Massage Envy, Nordstrom, Baskin Robbins, and the US Army. He is my business coach and a very dear friend: Mr Jason Everett.

• Three words that capture Jason's essence for me -  Positivity, Energy, and Mindset.

• Jason’s energy comes naturally to him, and he loves to encourage others. Where other coaches tear you down, he builds you up, and after training with him you'll feel smarter and stronger.

• Jason shares the 4 strategies at the core of the High Performance Salon Academy:  Attract, Keep, Deliver, and Grow. 

• He discusses how important it is for owners to delegate tasks and create jobs, rather than trying to do it all themselves.

This week I'm with a great friend who is a 13-time NAHA finalist and winner. His work has appeared in almost every industry magazine in the world. He’s been on Oprah, CNN, and Good Morning America. He has styled for movies, music videos, and fashion runways. Here is Mr Nicholas French!

• One of the best pieces of advice that Nicholas got from his father when he was only 10 years old: “Keep your eyes open 24 hrs a day because you never know what you are going to see”. You have to always be on the lookout for inspiration. 

• Nick explains how he makes the distinction between fantasy and avant garde.

• Nicholas’s favorite quote: "Fashion is fleeting but technique stays the same."

Today I sit down with the Midwest Hairstyling Awards Hairstylist of the Year, NAHA Educator of the Year and Director of the Hair Labs Detroit Barber School, Mr Rodrick Samuels. 

Rodrick shares some great nuggets of wisdom this week including his top 3 list for students - you have to show up, you have to work hard and you have to listen. 

He shares how education has changed so much from when he was in school, how teaching is 1000% different now. 

Hear about the importance of failure and how this has always pushed Rodrick in his lifetime.
