Indie Educator Matt Beck @freesaloneducation wasn't getting the opportunity he wanted to advance his education career.... so he started doing it on his own! By balancing his behind-the-chair time and creating education videos for YouTube, he built a online education platform that has over 1,000 tutorials and 1 million subscribers. We chat about his journey as well as how he determines if his content is 'successful'.
Show Notes:
• Finding hair school as a suggestion from a co-worker
• Educating for Paul Mitchell for 9 years; looking for more recognition
• Filming his first video for YouTube
• Balancing BTC and salon ownership with getting YT off the ground
• How he views his success on his content
• Losing his father suddenly

| 0:32.0 | progress. |
| 0:32.7 | I always think that if I don't understand something right away, that I'm just bad at it |
