I gained a lot of confidence in basically running my own business since I was doing these house calls and dealing with clients on my own.

And I kind of also liked keeping all the money.

Thank you for listening to the Hair Game podcast.

Hey, listener.

I'm Eric Taylor.

So what's in the news?

Delta seems to be losing steam in most places in the United States.

Cases are still high, but they seem to have plateaued and are falling slightly

in many, many places. Hospital admissions, for example, for COVID fell last week for the first time

in several weeks, certainly positive news and similar to the trajectory that Delta has taken

in the first few countries that it hit like India.

Of course, we're still going to do what we reasonably can to keep ourselves and our clients safe.

Maybe that means wearing masks for a little bit longer.

Yeah, it's super annoying, but it's not the end of the world.

Also, more people are getting vaccinated since Delta started coming out. Some of the people who were on the fence were like, okay, now I'm going to get vaccinated. These are positive moves

towards getting back to normal. LA County a couple weeks ago was whispering about writing up

details for a vaccine mandate. Of course, that freaked a lot of people out. I certainly don't want a vaccine
