 Beauty Means Business Radio Eliminating Fear through Transparency with Anthony Giannotti @anthonythebarber916  Anthony Giannotti takes us through a story of how diverse the business of barbering can be. From barber to educator, barbershop owner, brand and product producer and champion for barber technology.  Anthony helped write and record Pivot Point’s barber program that’s now in over 100 countries and was recently nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year by the CT Barber Expo.  In this episode of Beauty Means Business, Anthony elaborates on how the very best in the industry have a combination of both technical ability and emotional ability. And tells you to ask yourself: “How well do I manage or mirror emotions?”  We have a dynamic discussion around overcoming fear. The fear that people face when entering the industry, the fear of switching careers, the fear of stagnation in the industry, and the unclarity that comes in the industry from not knowing what path to take. Anthony opens up about how we all go through these questions in the industry and his passion for being a driving force in eliminating those fears both for himself and those to follow him. Anthony tells us his aspirations for the industry coming together as a unit and how important it is for people who are further along in their careers to get rid of the fear that opening up will take something away from them.  Takeaways:  To be an independent you must have passion.  The best in the industry have a combination of both technical ability and emotional ability.   Ask yourself: “How well do I manage or mirror emotions?”  It’s essential for those who are further along in their careers to get rid of this fear that if we tell people how we got where we are at, we’ll lose something.    Handsome App is a free professional network for the beauty and barber industries to build a digital portfolio, find career advice, education and jobs.
