Show Notes
Anthony Laban returns to BarbersRide for another special episode from Captain Fawcett HQ. This time, he sits down with industry veterans Sid Sottung and Luke Ellis of Sink And Anchor in Edinburgh to get to the heart of the "employed versus self-employed" debate…
They cut through the crap, discussing the realities of owning a barbershop in a modern world where skilled staff are increasingly choosing to go self-employed, and what this means for the future of apprenticeships. The trio also tackles the importance of working smarter, not harder, by focusing on client retention, upselling services and finding your niche - the very core of a successful, long-lasting career!
