256 Hairdressing and Happiness go Hand in Hand with Oscar Bond
These days, we talk a lot about mental health and self-care and rightly so.
\xa0
The most simple aim in life is to be happy. And if we can leave everyone we come into contact with a little happier for the experience, then surely that's a day well spent.\xa0

My guest on today's podcast is Oscar Bond, not only is he one of the happiest people I know, but he's also a great hairdresser, a very accomplished educator, a great entertainer, and he has a stutter, and the most refreshing thing is he couldn't care less about it.
\xa0
Like most of us, Oscar admits to having all the daily challenges that we all face, and amongst the good times he has had some tough times in business.\xa0
\xa0
But through it all, he's always smiling and makes those around him lighten up and laugh.
