    A short episode on being an enthusiastic leader and why it matters. 


    Evan shares a story of Cody who made a positive impact as a waiter at a restaurant.


    Do people see you as a positive, impactful leader? Are people happy to see you or do you create anxiety when you walk in the door of your business or home?

  • Why Would My Friends Close Their Salon? Part 2 with Travis & Adelle Graham

    Travis and Adelle became friends of mine over the past couple of years. I saw their salon thrive and move into a new space that was absolutely STUNNING! Everything was going great….. then COVID happened. 


    A year and a half after quarantine they closed their doors. They were heartbroken with an unbelievable amount of peace through the whole process. They struggled not to question everything.


    They never made excuses because they knew this was happening FOR them and not TO them.


    This is my conversation on the start of 2020, the closing of their salon and what's next.
