This episode is a deep conversation with Bristol about mastery, discipline, and what it really takes to build a career — and a life — you’re proud of.

From falling in love with the craft, to hitting ceilings, to teaching others how to level up, this isn’t a highlight-reel conversation. It’s about the slow, earned process of becoming undeniable.

We talk about:

• Mastery before money

• Discipline over motivation

• Teaching others without ego

• Loneliness at higher levels

• Confidence built through repetition

• Identity, self-trust, and responsibility

If you’re a barber, creator, entrepreneur, or anyone trying to turn skill into something lasting — this episode will hit close to home. Nothing here is rushed. Nothing here is fake. Everything here is earned.
