Todd's Story [EP:35]

In this episode, Jen flips the roles and asks Todd a series of questions. We start at the place Todd and Jen met and go from there. Similar to episode 33, Todd does not know the questions ahead of time. Especially the rapid-fire arbitrary ones at the end that Jen added simply to drive him crazy. 🤣

  • How did we meet?
  • How did you become these things: Todd the barber, Todd the owner of Hello, Todd the podcaster?
  • Why did you pick the barber school that you picked?
  • What are your thoughts on people staying in school?
  • What do you like most about the hair industry?
  • What makes you cringe about the hair industry?
  • What was it like when we decided to become business partners, and how has it changed?
  • What do you like most about working with your wife, and what do you struggle with?
  • What is your opinion on using social media to build a brand and attract clients vs using it for fun?
  • What's your favorite color? (Yes, Jen took it to these arbitrary questions at the end. 😂)
  • Beverage of choice in the morning?
  • What did you want to be when you grew up?
  • What new things do you have going on next?
  • How do you take your coffee?
