Sometimes, franchise brands can ride the line between multiple industries to ultimately create something completely new and fresh. One such example is Blo Blow Dry Bar, which positions itself in both the wellness and beauty markets to deliver blowdrys and other beauty services to its customers; with a focus put on the experience that its guests receive.   The brand's CEO, Vanessa Yakobson, knows a thing or two about delivering exceptional customer service. She has grown the brand since acquiring it with her partners in 2009, and over the next 13 years, Vanessa and her team developed Blo from a humble Canadian concept into an international powerhouse.   This year, Blo is celebrating its 15th anniversary, so what better time to catch up with Vanessa to reflect on the brand's successful past, and look toward its ambitious future.  To keep your finger on the beating pulse of franchising, sign up for our newsletter at global-franchise.com, subscribe to our definitive magazine, and join the conversation with our experts today on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.

In today's episode, we get real about why we're not actually achieving our goals. Our guest today is the formidable and successful entrepreneur Devon Brooks, who first co-founded Blo Blow Dry Bar when she was only 21, a company that went on to span four countries, with 100+ locations, and has collaborated with international mega-brands like Mattel, TopShop, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Devon has now JUST launched her latest company, Sphere, the first mobile app to connect coaches and clients through a seamless, online ecosystem. Born from her own frustrations with a lack of accessibility and exceptional technology in the coaching space, Devon wanted the Sphere app to connect best-fit coaches and clients and handle everything from booking, to having sessions and tracking progress. Given Sphere's mission to support and elevate the collective consciousness, Devon is here to talk to us today about why we get stuck in achieving our goals, and how achieving them contributes to the consciousness of greatness. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-after-30-podcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-after-30-podcast/support
