Quotes:
“If we can build this platform, Canvas Recruit, that's going to help empower thousands and thousands of beauty professionals on a massive scale, well, that would have served my purpose of empowerment.” (Jen Martinelli) (2:32)
“It's a great industry. The thing about it is, it's such a great industry. And I think the better that we match the student up with the proper place, the higher we elevate that!” (Doug Campbell) (16:30)
“I swear to God. Our goal is to literally rid the industry of the "Help Wanted" sign in the window. No more are we going to put "Help Wanted" sign in the window.” (Matt Martinelli) (17:10)
“The younger people coming up, it's easy to be negative about, but they're the ones that really want to be woven into the culture. But if you're trying to do it with the wrong pieces of thread, it's not going to work. I think that's getting at your point, to get people to say, "Yes, that's the piece of cloth I want to be part of." And you build a team that way.” (Doug Campbell) (18:39)
