Men's hairstylist and educator Dean Lauer @deanothebarber_ built a foundation of skills early by grinding hard.... owning a shop AND starting a barber school within the first few years of graduating hair school.

He left it all behind to follow his dream to work in LA. He shares the whole story this week!

This week's topics:

• Trying to set up his future in baseball; gets injured

• Going to a primarily African-American barber college

• Opening a barber shop at 19; and then a barber school shortly after

• Leaves everything to move to LA

• Advice to new stylists
