This was the second time Lauren had joined us in the inner sanctum. Her raw insight into the journey she's been on is a testament to the incredible woman that she is.

Looking at how she navigated grief with her team and clients amid being in the early stages of welcoming her third child. She also gave insight into the emotional journey following her mother's terminal illness and passing. Lauren discussed the challenges of managing a business, motherhood, and grief simultaneously.

  • Highlight 8: What to outsource if you want to grow?
    Oct 21 2024

    In this highlight, Samara and Jen explore the important distinction between scaling and growing a salon business. They share insights from an inspiring business leader who explains how scaling involves expanding your team and stepping away from the floor, while growing focuses on increasing efficiency by adding support without necessarily increasing the size of the team.

    They discuss practical tips for salon owners, such as hiring the right staff to support growth, like a receptionist, salon assistant, or social media manager. They also talk about the importance of understanding the roles you delegate, making sure you know how things work before outsourcing tasks like bookkeeping.

    The conversation emphasizes that success doesn’t always mean scaling up with a large team—it’s about finding the balance that works for your goals. Samara and Jen provide valuable advice on managing growth and deciding if scaling or growing is right for your business.

  • Journey from Stylist to Salon Owner, with a side of IVF with Casey from Maverick Hair and Art
    Oct 14 2024

    We're back in the Inner Sanctum with Casey, the owner of Maverick Hair and Art on the Gold Coast. Casey shares her journey of taking over the business she had worked in and changing from stylist to owner.

    In 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic brought challenges for the new business owner. Maverick is located on the Queensland and New South Wales border which meant many of Casey's staff and clients were stuck on either side. We discussed her collaboration with a salon across the border to sustain their businesses.

    Casey talks about delegation's importance, team dynamics, and flexible management style. The episode also delves into the logistics and challenges of hiring, training staff, and running a unique salon that incorporates art.

    Additionally, Casey shares her personal journey undergoing IVF treatments while maintaining open communication with her team. We wrap things up with insights into managing stress, embracing change, and the importance of community over competition.
