We often hear about how much the hairdressing industry is changing as if it\\u2019s the only one. But the truth is that every industry is changing!\\xa0

For example, just think of the impact that Spotify and other streaming services have had on the music industry.

Or the impact that social media has had on advertising and magazines.\\xa0

Or the impact that Airbnb has had on the hotel sector.

Or the impact that Netflix has had on the TV and entertainment business.\\xa0

Or the impact that Uber has had on the taxi industry.\\xa0

Maybe the rate of change has sped up a little, but don\\u2019t go thinking that eventually things will get back to \\u201cnormal.\\u201d Instead, we all need to embrace change and look for the opportunities in front of us.\\xa0

My guest on today\'s podcast is Andrew Finkelstein, who has witnessed a lot of change in his lifetime.\\xa0Andrew isn\\u2019t a hairdresser himself but comes from the famous Finkelstein hairdressing dynasty.\\xa0He currently resides in New York and works as an author, speaker, and coach.
