Super stoked to have on as my guest for Episode 50 🔥 in this episode we talk about how Dan has created a platinum hair empire and has created a 7 figure income as a hair stylist.

I love how creative people have become. Instead of trapping yourself in a box of what you can do with your career, look outside the box to be different and not follow the lead of everyone else.

Dan built such an empire by narrowing down and perfecting the niche he wanted to target, that being platinum blondes. From there he educated himself like crazy and then became an educator and started teaching classes all across the US. He spoke out about the truth and wasn’t going to be silenced by signing deals with big hair brands. From there he and his partners created a formula that will change the platinum game forever, . Now thousands of hair dressers all over the country are using these products and are getting immaculate results.

“I love this ability to keep recreating ourselves, and never letting age or a time in your life dictate that you’ve missed your opportunity.” - Amanda Hanson

This quote is so beautiful! Just because you’re approaching your midlife doesn’t mean you are stopped in time and can’t grow or prosper. You can keep recreating yourself, exploring opportunities, and taking action on those opportunities. When entering midlife, it is a chance for re-awakening, not a chance to fall asleep on yourself.
