Then you will definitely enjoy this conversation!

This is a fun and insightful conversation with John Palmieri. We cover going from the idea phase to a living working system and involving others in the process!  Most stylists and salon owners are incredibly creative yet for some reason, the majority of our ideas go by the wayside (and we don't know why)! John talks about the system he uses to help to bring ideas to life through sharing some of the mistakes that he has made along the way.  So if you would like to learn to turn your activity into productivity you'll want to give this conversation a listen for sure!  @124go
