Hey everyone. We're about a month away from the opening of two new salons in Pasadena

and Woodland Hills, California. If you want to see one, go to SalonRepublic.com and book

a tour. This episode is with Antony Whitaker, a guy who's been a leader in our industry

for a long time. Anthony runs a company called Grow My Salon Business, which teaches salons everywhere how to be successful.

He's been all over the world and seen it all.

I recently saw him give an incredible speech to wrap up the Paul Mitchell gathering in Vegas

and knew he'd be an amazing person to interview.

And where are you coming from right now over Skype?

The UK. I live a couple of hours west of London.

Excellent. So, yeah, a nice part of the world.

So it's your evening and it's our morning. Yeah. Wonderful. All right.

Well, thank you for spending the time.

I actually, I was at the Paul Mitchell gathering in Vegas, and I saw your concluding speech, which I thought was spectacular.

Oh, thank you.

And I thought that I had to have you on.

And so welcome to the show.
