Matt invites Lasana on the pod after discovering him and his IG page through his appearance on the Elevated Barbers Podcast. Lasana was influenced by his sisters that are in hair and his mom bringing him to barbershops. At the tender age of 7, Lasana lost his father (a highly respected educator) to a car accident in West Africa. Fast forward Lasana starting to break down walls and enter the education space in barbering! He is hosting his first live zoom training on barber/client relations this Monday, @ 2/5 @ 7:15 CST. Enjoy this extended episode of YBP with kutter concepts!
