Since kicking off in 2017, “How to Cut It” has grown into so much more than a podcast; it’s become a community, a platform for education, and a spotlight for industry innovation. As we recently celebrated being named Industry Podcast of the Year at the Hairbrained Awards, I found myself reflecting on just how transformative this journey has been, not only for me but for many of you in our listening community.

Throughout this episode, I’ll share details about the origins of our podcast and the pivotal moments that have defined its evolution. The creation of the How to Cut It platform was a milestone, born from the desire to extend our reach beyond the audio episodes into a comprehensive resource for career development and inspiration.

In a special announcement, I’m thrilled to invite our audience to join the upcoming HAIRCON – the new day and night hair festival coming the O2 Victoria Warehouse, Manchester from the 22nd-24th June. And yes, the How to Cut It ‘Open Platform’ stage will be there! It’s your chance to shine, to show what unique contributions you can make.

Moreover, this episode is a personal reflection on the value of reassessment. Whether you’re a rookie or a seasoned professional, revisiting your goals and realigning your career trajectory can open doors to unexpected opportunities. This dialogue, unscripted and straight from the heart, aims to inspire you to embrace change, seek growth, and cherish those wins!

I invite you to join the reassessment journey with me. Share your stories, connect with our vibrant community on social media, and continue to be a part of this incredible adventure.

Thank you, our cherished listeners, guests, and supporters, for growing with “How to Cut It.” Here’s to moving forward, together.
