    I Stayed Quiet for Years. Not Anymore.

    I stayed quiet about this for years because speaking up could mean cease and desist letters and a legal fight, and I have five kids to think about. I am opening the files anyway, every name and brand redacted, because educators deserve to know what really happens. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ► ATTEND A BRAND WORKSHOP (start here) https://www.thebyob.com/discovery-session ► WORK WITH US + FREE TOOLS Build your business (course): https://course.thebyob.com/business-edition The AI Team Playbook (free): https://course.thebyob.com/ai-team-playbook Leave a review + send a screenshot, get our BYOB Hiring Guide free: https://www.thebyob.com/review ► WATCH + LISTEN YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Brandtalkwithrachelanddrew Podcast: https://themilliondollarsalon.podbean.com/ ► FOLLOW Rachel: https://www.instagram.com/rachelpaigexo Drew: https://www.instagram.com/mdrewthomas Boulevard ambassador: https://get.joinblvd.com/ambassador-rachel-paige/ #salonownereducation #salonownership #salonowners #hairextensions #salonbusiness #productbrand #recurringrevenue DISCLAIMER Rachel and Drew are not CPAs, attorneys, insurance agents, contractors, lenders, or financial advisors.

    E196 - A Big Brand Dropped Us Because We Had Too Much Influence

    The brand on your shelf makes you sign a contract, approve your floor plan, and hold your prices, then sells the same products cheaper on Amazon and at Nordstrom. Your client is not leaving retail. Retail is leaving you. Brand Talk with Rachel & Drew is the podcast for salon owners who are great at their craft, capped by their hours, done making the big brands richer & ready to build a product brand THEY actually own. Each week, Rachel & Drew Thomas break down how they built a private-label hair extension brand inside their own salons & how hundreds of salon owners are now doing the same. You get the REAL systems, the ACTUAL numbers & none of the hustle-harder noise. You bring the 10 percent only you can bring, and we show you the engine that carries the rest. If you are done trading hours for dollars, follow the show and start building something YOU own.   ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ► ATTEND A BRAND WORKSHOP (start here) https://www.thebyob.com/discovery-session   ► WORK WITH US + FREE TOOLS Build your business (course): https://course.thebyob.com/business-edition The AI Team Playbook (free): https://course.thebyob.com/ai-team-playbook Leave a review + send a screenshot, get our BYOB Hiring Guide free: https://www.thebyob.com/review   ► WATCH + LISTEN YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Brandtalkwithrachelanddrew Podcast: https://themilliondollarsalon.podbean.com/   ► FOLLOW Rachel: https://www.instagram.com/rachelpaigexo Drew: https://www.instagram.com/mdrewthomas Boulevard ambassador: https://get.joinblvd.com/ambassador-rachel-paige/   #salonownereducation #salonownership #salonowners #hairextensions #salonbusiness #productbrand #recurringrevenue   DISCLAIMER Rachel and Drew are not CPAs, attorneys, insurance agents, contractors, lenders, or financial advisors.
