Description

What if the secret to finding real success isn't climbing higher, but serving deeper? My conversation with Mark Bustos,  the celebrity hairdresser who cuts hair for both A-listers and homeless individuals, completely shifted my perspective on what it means to build a meaningful career. You'll learn why the most successful people often find their greatest fulfillment not in what they achieve, but in how they choose to serve others.
