25. Cutting Through Adversity: Matthew Campbell on Turning One Barber Chair into a Community Hub
Episode 25: I sit down with master barber and entrepreneur Matthew Campbell, mapping his journey from a small-town childhood in Utah to owning several bustling barbershops. He walks us through the long nights of self-taught marketing, the moments he nearly lost everything during economic downturns, and the mindset shift that helped him transform setbacks into stepping-stones for growth.
We explore how Matthew kept his family afloat while scaling to multiple locations, the leadership lessons he learned mentoring new barbers, and his commitment to making every shop a safe space for conversation and community. Matthew shares candid stories about balancing fatherhood with business expansion, and the mental health practices that keep his creative edge sharp.
Listeners will hear practical advice on bootstrapping a dream, building a brand rooted in authenticity, and creating opportunities for others even when resources feel scarce. Whether you’re a budding entrepreneur or chasing a fresh start in any field, Matthew’s story proves that steady hands, a clear vision, and unwavering grit can turn a single chair into a movement.
