We changed things up in the inner sanctum for this episode. It was Samara's turn to interview Jen about her recent experience of buying a salon. Jen shared the challenges and triumphs of her journey, and boy, was it a journey.

From the initial decision to buy a salon to the drawing and planning phase to the various obstacles she faced. Let's say that dealing with solicitors, bankers, etc, is not something she's keen to do again soon.

They discuss the importance of having clear goals, remaining resilient through difficulties, and the value of speaking up and seeking help.

In the end, despite the unexpected difficulties, Jen has found joy and fulfilment in the birth of her new salon, August Hair Co. This chat highlights the importance of clear visions and strategic decisions in business ownership.
