In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Ella and Maggie explore the difference between routine and ritual—and why it matters in self-care. Most of us go through the motions of skin care and wellness without truly being present, but when we shift from task to intention, even the simplest steps become transformative. To put this idea into practice, Ella and Maggie swap skin care rituals—each assigning one for the other that blends breathwork, visualization, affirmation, and a healthy dose of humor. The result is a conversation that's both grounding and giggleworthy, reminding us that real self-care isn't just what you do, it's how you do it.

Are we treating skin—or just selling solutions? This episode of ASCP Esty Talk challenges the symptom-based, brand-driven approach dominating esthetics today by introducing a deeper, more intentional framework: functional aesthetics, clinical reasoning, and “wholistic” client care. We explore how a pimple isn't always simple, and how real results require curiosity, conversation, and care that extends beyond the treatment room. With reflections on physiology, emotions, and even the surprising skin benefits of a certain “little pink pill,” this episode encourages estheticians to think bigger, dig deeper, and treat more meaningfully.

What if that breakout isn't just hormonal—and that redness isn't rosacea? In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, we discuss how big emotions like grief and anger can sneak onto the skin and masquerade as everyday conditions. You'll learn how to spot the difference, what to skip in the treatment room (hint: put down the glycolic), and how to build treatments that meet your clients where they really are—emotionally and physiologically. Plus, we're giving you home-care ideas that go way beyond “use this serum.” This one's for the esties ready to treat more than what meets the eye.

In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Ella and Maggie introduce the concept of biohacking for the skin—breaking down how wellness trends like adaptogens, red light therapy, collagen supplements, and even intermittent fasting are woven into esthetics practices. Whether you're new to the term or already using these tools, this episode helps connect the dots between modern biohacking and everyday esthetics treatments.

In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, we're wading into the therapeutic, challenging, and sometimes controversial relationship between skin and water—specifically, ocean water, geothermal hot springs, and chlorinated swimming pools. From ancient folklore to modern esthetics practices, we're exploring how these natural (and not-so-natural) waters impact the skin, the body, and the emotional state, plus what estheticians can recommend before and after exposure.

In this episode of The Restaurant Boiler Room, Rick will share a recent interview about his professional journey through entrepreneurship and franchise banking, as well as the impact of his faith along the way. Todd Recknagel is the moderator, one of the largest franchisees in our country, and operator of several brands, including Massage Envy, Office Pride, and Sola Salon, among others. He is starting a new organization entitled Fran Faith, whose objective is to bring together business leaders in the franchise space who share faith values. I don't share my story very often, so I hope you enjoy!

In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Ella and Maggie dive into the wilder side of off-label skin care—the hacks your clients swear by (and you secretly hope they don't try). From using Monistat as makeup primer to dabbing toothpaste on zits and slathering on milk of magnesia to control shine, we unpack the surprising science, hidden risks, and when to gently intervene. Whether these creative shortcuts are rooted in desperation, TikTok trends, or passed-down “wisdom,” we're separating the myths from the mildly effective. Spoiler alert: Not all hacks belong in your routine, but some may spark a safer, pro-grade alternative.

Billy Gene is a trailblazing marketing genius, entrepreneur, and educator renowned for his dynamic approach to online advertising and business growth. Having helped thousands of entrepreneurs and major brands like Kia, Massage Envy, and Procter & Gamble, Billy Gene is celebrated for turning high-level marketing strategies into accessible, actionable advice. With a passion for leveraging AI and automation, he focuses on empowering everyday business owners to scale, automate, and dominate their industries— all while encouraging them to show up authentically and unapologetically. Takeaways: AI-Driven Opportunity: Automation and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing marketing, making powerful results accessible even for those without tech expertise. Helping small businesses implement AI solutions is a major, untapped opportunity. Be Authentically You: The biggest mistake people make in ads is losing their personality and becoming robotic on camera. Authenticity and showing your true self are what drive connection and sales. Ask More, Scale More: If you want to scale your business, you need to amplify how often you ask people to buy—especially through simple, scalable video ads instead of relying on old-school hustle. Sound Bites: "Most business owners are either too busy or too lazy or just simply unwilling to learn something new... but with AI, you do not have to be techy anymore." "If you can use artificial intelligence to make that content with them, to follow up for them... what's that worth to you? Thousands of dollars a month? Of course it is." "The simplest strategy is: ask more people to buy by using video, because video can scale infinitely in anywhere around the world. That is the answer." Quote by Mick Hunt: "Side hustle is great, but strategy is important. The hustle culture at some point has to evolve to, 'I can do what the heck I want to do.'"
