However, we don&#8217;t feel like it&#8217;s the case with Phorest FM, The Salon Owners Podcast. The way we see it, we couldn&#8217;t have done it with you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>your time (tuning in every week)<\/li>\n<li>your show format reviews &amp; suggestions<\/li>\n<li>your topic ideas<\/li>\n<li>your guest recommendations<\/li>\n<li>your words of encouragements and\u00a0support, whether that be face to face, on social media or in photos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anyways. Because of that, crossing the big 100 feels doing right by you. Last summer, my mentor asked me:<\/p>\n<p><b><i>\u201cHow would you explain what Phorest FM is or why we produce it to your friend in a bar?\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After carefully thinking about my answer, I told him:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>&#8220;We&#8217;re building a community through exchanges, bridging the gap between salon owners, tech &amp; various industry thought leaders, and creating a bank of invaluable insights for salon owners and staff already in business or anyone looking into getting into the hair and beauty industry.&#8221;<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Building a community.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, although we had never come up with a proper <em>written-down-black-on-white<\/em> mission statement for the podcast, it had always been the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">essence<\/span> of\u00a0the show. The <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">beauty<\/span> of the show though, is the impacts it has had, and continues to have on salons and spas across the industry. And once again, this is mainly thanks to you! We, as in Phorest &amp; then Killian and myself as co-hosts, might facilitate these discussions every week, but the community around the show and its desire to have these discussions is really what drives it all.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53608\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53608\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-53609 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/30220650\/PhorestFM_KillianZoe.jpg\" alt=\"salon podcasts\" width=\"800\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/30220650\/PhorestFM_KillianZoe.jpg 800w, https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/30220650\/PhorestFM_KillianZoe-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/30220650\/PhorestFM_KillianZoe-768x478.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53608\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Co-hosts Killian Vigna &amp; Alex B\u00e9lisle-Springer at the post-Salon Owner Summit Inside Phorest event, 2019.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For this, thank you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thank you for taking us on this journey week after week, allowing us to learn from you guys &#8211; hopefully &#8211; as much as you learn from us.

However, we had never let go of the idea, so if you still have no time to read but enjoy the content from the Phorest Blog, then <a href=\"https:\/\/phorestblog.podbean.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this podcast is for you<\/a>. Since January 1st, 2019, we&#8217;ve been steadily releasing 4 episodes per week <em>(Tuesday through Friday)<\/em> to help you grow your business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">How is this show different to Phorest FM? Well, think about this one as an audio version of the Phorest Blog. Each episode is only about 5-7 minutes long and we release more per week. If you&#8217;ve ever heard of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blinkist.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blinkist app<\/a>, then this is quite similar in format <em>(not in the form though, as we read out our articles contrarily to Blinkist, who do book recaps)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not every article ever written has a recording yet, but we&#8217;re slowly going back on all of our work to produce audio versions of every relevant post.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can catch up on the first 3 weeks of episodes below:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"multi_iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/media\/player\/multi?playlist=http%3A%2F%2Fplaylist.podbean.com%2F1487910%2Fplaylist_multi.xml&amp;vjs=1&amp;size=315&amp;share=1&amp;fonts=Helvetica&amp;auto=0&amp;download=1&amp;skin=7\" width=\"100%\" height=\"515\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Where To Listen To Both Phorest FM &amp; The Phorest Blog Podcasts<\/h2>\n<h3>Phorest FM, The Salon Owners Podcast<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/phorestfm.podbean.com\">On Podbean (on desktop or through the app)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/76HwWmCP6S9jjKeBObrMuP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">On Spotify<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/phorest-fm\/id1173813755?mt=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">On iTunes (Apple Podcasts)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phorest.com\/au\/blog\/category\/phorest-tv\/phorest-fm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Access all the Phorest FM Episode Transcripts<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Phorest Blog Podcast<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/phorestblog.podbean.com\">On Podbean (on desktop or through the app)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0XM5ImVuij9fW6FcCVnplm\">On Spotify<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/ca\/podcast\/the-phorest-blog\/id1182467915?mt=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">On iTunes (Apple Podcasts)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Happy successful 2019, and cheers to a third year of inspiring and informative discussions!
