Your Barber Podcast
The Your Barber Podcast was made to inspire and relate to the everyday barber with journey, client, & life stories. We keep it light, and then we dig deep sometimes. YBP likes to shed light on barbers that are super successful in their own right. Rock with us as we grow, develop, and improve the "Your Barber Podcast" experience!
Your Barber Podcast
YBP 38 | AZ Barber, Erick Varela
With the help of YBP 1 guest Brock Hesser, Matt was finally able to track down Erick to do the podcast. Matt & Brock were in barber school with Erick as well. After graduation, Erick got to work for barbershop that he grew up going to. Life isn't perfect. Sometimes life is like getting hit by a car. In Erick's case, this actually happened... Tune into this reflective episode of a couple of barber school buddies catching up!
