Chris Baran's Headcases

I’m excited to chat with my next guest, a Lifetime Achievement winner and a Hall of Heroes award winner, Ginger Boyle. 

• Ginger shares how she lived off the grid for a year waiting for her cosmetology license 
• She took a chance and moved across the country to work for Horst
• How sometimes on the road for hair shows, they would have to get their “models” in the mall or bar
• Hear how Ginger took having an affirmation to help her through a rough patch, to a daily online affirmation for thousands of people

This week’s guest has inspired an entire generation of hairdressers. Benni Tognini is an Australian icon, considered the father of avant garde hairdressing

Benni and his team have won a string of international accolades, including World Master of the Craft. He’s the man behind the powerhouse Togninis brand.

I am so lucky to have Benni as a very good friend, and it was a pleasure to sit down and chat with him about how he got started.

-Benni's realization that sports and hairdressing are similar, with patterns in the training, practicing, and discipline.

-How Benni entered competition after competition and learned the value of failure.

-The many mistakes that helped him become great.

-Fear is where you find the answers.
