The salon industry has a lot to be proud of. Phorest has always been in awe of it. The energy. The camaraderie. The creativity. Being a business owner takes courage, but it can sometimes become an isolating, all-consuming reality. Along with the mental load of the daily to-do lists, there’s also a need to look towards the future and consider long-term goals.
About the Show
The PhorestFM podcast celebrates innovative ideas, methods, and perspectives on business management and growth, marketing, leadership, and building great teams/cultures. Launched in 2017, today it is hosted by Alex Bélisle-Springer, Global Education Content Lead.
Release frequency: Every second week, on Mondays.
Editing: From season 4 onwards, all episodes have been and continue to be edited and mixed by Audio Z, Montreal’s cutting-edge post-production studio for creative minds looking to have their vision professionally produced and mixed.
Support the show by leaving a rating/review on Apple Podcasts, recommending an episode to a friend, colleague, or collaborator, and, most importantly — engaging with our social media posts and reels by sharing your own stories and experiences!
