Emotional Intelligence & Business Growth in the Hair Industry 🎙️✨ In this episode, I sit down with Joy LaMay, hairstylist, business coach, and part of Destroy The Hairdresser, to dive deep into the world of business, emotional intelligence, and personal growth. We explore how working on our inner and outer growth—developing emotional maturity, self-awareness, and confidence—has transformed both our businesses and our lives. We also break down the culture of hairstylists and salons, discussing what’s working, what’s not, and why we make the decisions we do in our careers. From mindset shifts to business strategies, we unpack how emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in success and why personal development is just as important as technical skills behind the chair. If you’re a regular person, or a stylist, salon owner, or entrepreneur looking to elevate your business, confidence, and mindset, this episode is packed with insight and real-talk about what it takes to grow in today’s industry. Tune in and let’s talk transformation! 🎧✨
