In this episode, I sit down with Australian salon owner Luke Reynolds to talk about one of the most powerful drivers of salon success, which he believes is investing in the personal development of your people.Luke shares how he's integrated monthly life coaching sessions, meditation practices, and even equine therapy into his team culture. It’s a fascinating conversation about building confidence, communication, and community in the workplace, and the profound effect this has on the day-to-day salon environment.What I really loved about this chat is how naturally these initiatives grew into a cornerstone of Luke’s business, creating a safe, supportive, and high-functioning team that clients notice and appreciate. We also touch on the challenges younger team members face today and how personal development tools can help them not just survive, but thrive. If you're passionate about building a culture that retains great people, this is one you won’t want to miss.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Intro and welcome[00:48] Meet Luke Reynolds and his culture-first approach[02:00] Why Luke brought in a life coach for his team[05:00] Addressing anxiety and mental health in apprentices[07:00] How personal growth improves communication and confidence[10:35] Creating a safe, vulnerable space for learning[13:00] Why Luke stays out of the sessions and what happens after[16:35] When the life coach couldn’t come: Sound healing and meditation[19:45] How these initiatives impact salon culture and performance[21:30] A client’s unsolicited feedback that says it all[27:11] Equine therapy as a team building day[30:00] Trust, communication, and personal breakthroughs with horses[37:10] What’s next for Luke’s team[38:44] Wrapping up and plans for a follow-up episodeWant MORE to help you GROW?📚 Check out our Bestselling GROW Books https://growmysalonbusiness.com/books/🆘 Management overwhelm!?

Since 1986, SB Foot Tanning Company is most known as the tannery owned by Red Wing, and with good reason: every bit of leather used on Red Wing Heritage footwear is developed and made by SB Foot just a few miles from Red Wing’s US manufacturing facility.But the tannery itself and its relationship with Red Wing stretch much further back—to the late 1800s. And SB Foot creates leather for far more than just its neighbor in Red Wing, Minnesota—everyone from solo makers, to Russell Moccasin, to the US military.Lacy Schumann has spent her last five years developing leather for SB Foot. Maybe Lacy was always supposed to make leather—she did grow up on a beef farm—but it took a veer away from a career in the art world to get her there.I absolutely loved this chat with Lacy, who takes me through SB Foot history 101, what leather development at SB Foot entails (along with the nonstop interactions with Red Wing’s development team), how hard it is to accurately color leather—and let’s not even get started on truly waterproofing the stuff—why she’s in total roughout mode right now, and plenty more.Mentioned in the episode: The Tannery & The Shoe: A Deep Look Inside The Red Wing & SB Foot Factories, by Josh Bornsteinhttps://www.stitchdown.com/brands/red-wing-boots-and-shoes/red-wing-shoes-sb-foot-factory-visit/This episode was sponsored by Coblr—the business management system powering the repair industry. https://www.coblros.com/ Support the Shoecast, get full bonus episode access, and join the most interesting shoe-and-boot-loving community on the internet with a Stitchdown Premium membershiphttps://www.stitchdown.com/join-stitchdown-premium/Check out our site!https://www.stitchdown.com/2025 dates and location for Stitchdown's Boot Camp 3—the world's fair of shoes and boots and leather and more—coming soon.https://www.stitchdownbootcamp.com/

This week on Expert, Sadaf and Tegan are diving into the clinical side of skin longevity – and debunking a few myths along the way. First up in Win, Bin or Recycle: Should you be using your body lotion on your face? (Spoiler: We have thoughts.) Then, for our beauty education, skin therapist Tegan shares her top three in-clinic treatments for slow-aging skin. From the low-downtime magic of Laser Genesis, to the collagen-boosting power of skin needling, to the underrated glow-up potential of a vitamin A or C peel, she breaks down what’s worth your money and what to pair with your at-home routine to really extend your results. Plus, we talk peptides, LED devices, and why your lifestyle habits might be just as important as your skincare. And in Adore Anonymous, one listener wants to know how often they actually need to clean their piercings, and whether they’re doing it wrong.
