Chris Baran's Headcases

My guest this week owns multiple successful salons, he is a lead educator, and he provides solutions to other salons looking to level up. And in his spare time he’s a prize-winning body builder! I’m so pleased to sit down with my personal friend, Jayson Morgan. 

⁃ Jayson started young - his grandmother would give him old mop heads to cut, and she would hunt yard sales for Barbie heads for him to cut and style

⁃ He shares the importance of having a plan and sticking to it

⁃ Jayson talks about his tried and true techniques for coaching salon staff, and his success with 1-on-1 sessions with all of his staff

This week’s guest is GQ’s “Coolest Barber on Instagram”, a 4-time winner of Canadian Men’s Hairdresser of the Year, and has worked behind the scenes with the hottest actors in film and television. He has a very successful line of shops and products under the Victory Barber and Brand banner, and I feel very fortunate that I knew him before he was even a hairstylist. Our guest is Matty Conrad!

- Why Matty doesn’t believe in “fake it til you make it”
- He once lost sight of his true purpose until he realized he was doing everything for all the wrong reasons
- How his grandfather’s funeral and eulogy changed his whole life’s path
- His biggest learning is through failure and he calls it “failing forward”
