Episode 98: On this episode of Pursuit of Profit, Cliff talks with Paul O'Brien, one of three founding brothers of the well known franchise, Floyd's 99 Barbershop. This successful franchise has broken away from assembly line cuts of discount chains and high-end salons to create something in between - expert cuts and a vibe that feels more like a rock concert than a haircut.
