213 Life Lessons from a Career in Hairdressing with Alex Ioannou

Being a business owner is a great education because it forces you to learn a range of new skills, from people management to financial management and marketing. 

All these elements will push you out of your comfort zone, and as a result, you will grow both professionally and personally. I’ve spent a lot of time talking about the former, but in today’s episode, we focus on the latter: the invaluable life skills and aspects of humanity that being a business owner exposes you to.  

My guest today is Alex Ioannou, a former Londoner who, for the last 30-plus years, has been a native of Chicago. He’s a hairdresser, former salon owner, coach, educator and one of the nicest and most genuine people you’ll ever meet.

Listen in today to hear about some of the most impactful life lessons Alex’s journey as a hairdresser has taught him!
