And then you just thought, sweet, I'll just all have my own barbershop." Jaedz didn't think he'd open a barbershop at the age of 19. But when opportunity knocked, he thought why not. This is the rollercoaster story of a crazy 12 months, from opening up shop, having a crazy opening day, then basically having no customers for months, then cracking the code, making money, having to shutdown, and opening back up in a new space. Jaedz shows us what that journey looked like, his mindset throughout, crafty ways he managed to stay afloat and ways he managed to make money, behind the curtains of the business with all the numbers (income, margins, how it all works), and how he's managed to create the brand he has today. It's one of my favourite and best chats to date. I hope you enjoy this chat. Listen Now. Enjoy. Show Notes: (0:00) Introduction to the episode. (2:30) Never thought he would open up a barbershop as a young Māori boy. (3:50) Cutting the boys hair at school - thought he had clippers but was using a beard shaver.

(15:45) Creating a space that people wanted to work in, not try to be someone people wanted to work for (18:00) First week. (24:30) Cracked it then had to close down - maths not mathing for rent.
