The inclusion of different voices ensures that multiple viewpoints are considered, allowing listeners to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the topics discussed.

    While The Barber College Success podcast has numerous strengths, there are some areas where it could be improved. One possible drawback is that it may not appeal to everyone due to its title focusing on barber college success.

    About The Guest(s):Carmina "Mina B. Choppin" is a seasoned barber and educator with over 23 years of experience in the industry. She is known for her expertise in cutting men's hair and has a passion for teaching and helping others succeed in the barbering industry. Carmina has been successful both before and after the rise of social media, and she emphasizes the importance of building relationships with clients and continually learning and growing in the craft of barbering. Summary:Carmina joins the podcast to discuss the importance of soft skills in the barbering industry and the need for barbers to be versatile in their skills. She emphasizes the value of customer service and building relationships with clients, as well as the need for barbers to continually learn and grow in their craft. Carmina also shares her experiences working on set and in the wedding industry, highlighting the various opportunities available to barbers beyond working behind the chair. The conversation touches on the misconception that the number of social media followers directly translates to income, with Carmina and the hosts agreeing that building organic relationships and providing excellent service are more important than likes and followers. Key Takeaways: Soft skills, such as customer service and communication, are essential for success in the barbering industry. Barbers should strive to be versatile in their skills and continually learn and grow in their craft. Building relationships with clients is crucial for client retention and word-of-mouth referrals. The number of social media followers does not necessarily dictate how much money a barber will make. Providing excellent service and having good soft skills are more important than likes and followers on social media. Quotes: "If you're not a great talker, you can practice on being a good listener while cutting hair." - Carmina "Why would people want to come and give you money the way you are right now?" - Carmina "If you only know how to cut hair one way, you don't know how to cut hair." - Carmina This podcast is produced by Mitch McGarry with Maypop Media LLC
