Fearless Entrepreneurship Podcast with Cory Mosley

Michael Reeves is a master stylist working in the 3-dimension art form. He’s fine-tuned his abilities to make every style he executes unique to the individual. Born and raised in New Jersey, not only less than 10 miles from New York City, the energy of that city had a great influence on his artistic approach to hair styling and ultimately transitioned from being a master barber to a hair stylist. That really helped him develop a keen eye for balance and weight. He’s celebrating over 25 years in the hair industry. He’s been trained by some of the top educators in some of the best facilities. Michael is currently the owner and feature at the Michael Patrick hair studio

During this episode, Cory and Michael discuss the importance of having a knowledge of running a business as opposed to just being talented. Learn about Michael’s story from owning his own business, to taking a step back and working for someone else in order to learn, and finally breaking off on his own again and starting a successful business.
