Summary

High Five Salon is one of the most successful and innovative salons in the midwest. The secret to their success isn’t excellence—it’s taking the time to see, know, and encourage every single person who comes through their door. Behind it all is Sam Hills, the owner and founder. He’s an aggressive man literally changing the world one haircut at a time. Just like if you spent time in his chair, you'll leave this podcast feeling encouraged, and with insights into the power of generosity, green lights, and taking the time to see others.
