Amnah Shaabneh is a licensed esthetician and partner at Revata Medspa & Laser Center in Addison, Texas, with more than 15 years in the industry. She spent her early career in hospitality and hotel management. Then, at 24, she decided to give esthetics a try, enrolled at Heritage College in Denver, and was nominated for student of the year. She later launched her own waxing business before a med spa recruited her. She even did a stint as a corporate flight attendant for sports teams, which convinced her that esthetics was her true passion. Her specialty is corrective skincare over fluffy facials, and she'll keep you laughing the whole time. Her advice to new estheticians: stay humble, work for someone else first, and find a mentor.

Comic Book Keepers is a podcast where hosts Chris and Lance tackle the world of comics one character at a time. Launched during the 2020 quarantine, each episode takes a deep dive into a single hero, villain, or team. They cover the character's creation, powers, and media adaptations, and they share reading recommendations for anyone who wants to pick up the comics themselves. Outside the show, Chris is an artist who creates free D&D character art as Dungeon Heads, and Lance plays D&D with his improv friends on Knights of the Roll Table. Together, they're the rare comic experts who make newcomers feel welcome, not gatekept. Follow the show at @cbkcast, Chris at @dungeonheads, and Lance at @roguesymbiote.

James DeFrange is the owner of Pura Vida Salon in Uptown Dallas, which he opened in 2006, and he has been a hairdresser for more than two decades. His career started almost by accident: at 16, he was the first boy ever to take cosmetology at his small-town high school. He tried to drop the class after six weeks, and a very unhelpful football coach wouldn't let him. After moving to Dallas, a mentor opened doors for him, which led to education work with professional product companies. Today, he pays it forward through his salon's apprenticeship program. His advice for anyone in any industry: find a mentor.
