We sit down with the resilient and dynamic entrepreneur, Filipe "Fil" Santos, starting with his roots in Harrison, New Jersey. You get a glimpse into Fil's early passions – skateboarding, playing drums, and the twists and turns that led to struggles with substance abuse.

The story takes a powerful turn when Fil opens up about his commitment to recovery and the unwavering support he received from his parents, despite the challenges. The spotlight then shifts to Fil's entrepreneurial ventures, notably "The Room," his evolving salon that has transformed into an educational haven for hairstylists. But Fil's entrepreneurial spirit doesn't stop there; he manages a tattoo shop and rental properties, painting a diverse landscape of his endeavors.

Listeners get an insider's view of Fil's mindset – the power of positivity, manifestation, and strategic use of technology in growing businesses, particularly in the salon industry. The conversation also weaves in Fil's collaboration with Drew O'Brien from Make Cool Sh*t, showcasing the artistic dimensions of their partnership.

The narrative extends to Fil's role in the "Chop Meat" podcast, co-hosted with chef Jamie Knott, revealing the therapeutic side of podcasting and the pursuit of fulfillment beyond immediate financial gains. Fil invites you to connect with him on Instagram @chop_safil, embodying his passion for service work and helping others.
