In this solo episode, David gets real about working and leading when the world feels unsteady.

He reframes the salon as a place of structure and sanctuary, urges stylists to protect their energy (hello, silent appointments), and draws a clear line between performative “giving” and simply providing clients a break. Beyond mindset, he lays out a practical call to action: shrink your focus to what you can control, strengthen routines around sleep/nutrition/mental health, and make plans that reach past today—because exhaustion breeds complacency.

If you’ve felt powerless, this is your reminder that change in our industry and our communities moves from the people up, not the top down.
