    ITV #221 The Black-Owned App That Booked 100 MILLION Haircuts - Obie Omele & Ray Daniels | Inside The Vault

    What if the most powerful business ecosystem in America wasn’t built in Silicon Valley — but inside the barbershop? In this episode of Inside The Vault, Ash Cash sits down with Obie Omele Jr., CEO & Co-Founder of The Cut, alongside music executive and cultural strategist Ray Daniels. The Cut has booked over 100 million appointments, empowered hundreds of thousands of barbers, and built a business-in-a-box platform that is reshaping how barbers operate, scale, and build generational wealth. But this isn’t just about haircuts. It’s about ownership. It’s about distribution. It’s about embedding technology directly into culture. In this conversation, they break down: • How Obie bootstrapped the company without raising money for four years • Raising capital from barbers and users themselves • Giving out $1 million in capital in 24 hours • Why distribution is more valuable than product • Turning the barbershop into digital real estate • The vision for The Cut Music (a modern 106 & Park) • Why culture is the ultimate competitive moat This is bigger than tech.
