Quotes:

“As a salon team, communication has been key, we've remained closer together than we even were before COVID-19, so one of the things that I know has helped us tremendously as a salon team is, turning to this digital world, turning to Zoom and being able to do almost weekly check ins, weekly team meetings to where we were meeting on a weekly basis.” (Shawn Stearns) (04:26)

“You've only got so much mental real estate available to you. So the idea is, if I use that mental real estate on things I can actually control, then I can get things done. And then my stress level goes down.” (Doug Campbell) (10:58)
