    About this Episode

    Today marks the day that the In Demand Hairstylist podcast turns 1 years old.  This podcast was literally born out of imperfect action so I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate or a better topic to discuss than taking IMPERFECT ACTION.

    We discuss why we get held back in where we are at and how we can "cross the bridge" to get to where we want to be by taking bold leaps of faith and messy, imperfect action.
