New year energy matters — and this episode brings exactly that.

We’re joined by Jackie Arling, owner of Brick Haus Salon & Spa, for a conversation that goes way beyond hair. Jackie has built a space where independent, self-employed stylists can grow their own businesses while still being part of something bigger — and that comes with real lessons on leadership, customer service, and standards.

In this New Year’s episode, we talk about:

• How to build the right clientele (not just more clients)

• Why the people you surround yourself with — customers, partners, teammates — matter more than ever

• Managing expectations in a service industry where emotions run high

• Letting go of control while still protecting your reputation

If you’re heading into the new year thinking about growth, energy, and who you want around you, this conversation will hit home.
