    Ivy Insights

    The Young Nails Biz Talk podcast is a must-listen for anyone in the nail industry. Whether you're a beginner nail tech, an experienced professional, or even just someone who enjoys doing their own nails, this podcast offers valuable insights and information on all aspects of the business. I have been doing nails since 1988 and I still learn new techniques and products from Young Nails.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is that it touches on important subjects and provides practical advice for personal improvement and business growth. The team at Young Nails truly cares about their listeners and aims to help them succeed in their nail careers. They discuss topics like setting boundaries, owning your worth, and navigating the challenges of being a nail tech. Their tips and insights are applicable to both beginners and seasoned professionals alike.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is that it provides a platform for nail techs to share their experiences. They often have guests on the show who share their journey in the industry, which can be incredibly inspiring and relatable. It's also refreshing to hear different perspectives and learn from others' successes and failures.

    As for the worst aspects of this podcast, one thing that could be improved is the frequency of episodes. Although they consistently deliver great content, there are sometimes gaps between episodes that can leave listeners wanting more. Additionally, while they do cover a wide range of topics, there may be some areas that could use more in-depth exploration.

    In conclusion, The Young Nails Biz Talk podcast is an invaluable resource for anyone in the nail industry. From business tips to nail techniques, this podcast covers it all with passion and expertise. The hosts Habib and Tracy are not only knowledgeable but also entertaining, making each episode enjoyable to listen to. I highly recommend this podcast to any nail tech looking to stay up-to-date with industry trends and gain valuable insights into running a successful nail business.
