We're back! For Season 3 of That's So Auburn! podcast we're interviewing all of the Auburn City Councilmembers, two at a time. Each episode will release a week a part, beginning with today's! Mayor Backus sat down with Deputy Mayor Cheryl Rakes and Councilmember Clinton Taylor to discuss the day to day, what got them into politics, and what keeps them going.  Deputy Mayor Rakes has lived in Auburn since 1960, when her family moved from Bellingham because her father got a job at the fire department. He retired there in 1980 as a captain. Rakes attended Auburn schools and graduated in 1973. She then enrolled in Mr. Lee's Beauty School and Knapp College of Business and took a few classes at Green River College. Cheryl has been serving the Auburn community as Executive Director of the Downtown Auburn Cooperative since 2019, a position she loves as she works directly with small businesses. During the December 16 council meeting, she was elected by her fellow councilmembers to a one-year term as Deputy Mayor. Cheryl has been on the council since early 2023.  Councilmember Clinton Taylor is the Founder and Executive Director of a financial education non-profit serving low-income BIPOC youth and young adults across Puget Sound. A U.S. Army Desert Storm veteran, Clinton holds degrees in Human Development, Organizational Leadership, and Non-Profit Leadership. He serves on the board of JumpStart Washington Coalition and the Washington State Partnership on Juvenile Justice, with prior roles in organizations like the Auburn Public School Foundation and Better People. As a 13-year Auburn resident, Clinton pastors a local non-denominational church and enjoys family time or cheering for the Los Angeles Rams and Oregon Ducks. Clinton joined the council in 2024.

If you've ever questioned why the industry operates the way it does, this episode is for you.

On my first day behind the chair I had zero clients. On my second day behind the chair I had one client.One of the biggest misconceptions of the beauty industry is you'll have a full clientele the day after you graduate from beauty school, but this simply isn't true. In this episode we're talking about how many clients you need to see per day and how long it takes most stylists to get to reach this number. I'll walk you through some of the strategies I've used throughout the years and how I encourage stylists to grow their clientele straight out of school.  Join me at the Aspiring Stylist Podcast group on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/groups/theaspiringstylistAspire Barber and Beauty Academy:http://aspirebarberandbeauty.com/Can I ask you a favor?

In this podcast episode, we hear from a recent beauty school graduate, Abby Sutton, who made the decision to leave her salon suite and transition into a traditional salon setting. She shares her journey of realizing she was in the wrong space and the importance of being true to oneself in making career decisions. This story serves as a reminder that it is okay to switch career paths if you find yourself in a situation that is not the right fit for you.

Beauty school has made its way to incarcerated women at the St. Louis County Justice Center. The aim is to address recidivism with hot tools and clippers.

There's a stigma around admitting you don't have it all figured out.Of course, you're gonna make mistakes, you're still learning. You will always be learning. Whether you're learning on purpose, or life's handing out lessons for free, you will be a completely different stylist in five years and in five years again.  So much of the treasured knowledge that I carry with me was learned by things not working out by making mistakes and learning from them and by asking for help when I needed it. This is where I see the most potential go down the drain. People are afraid to admit they don't have all the answers and in time, that mindset will paralyze you.
