The Heart Of Leadership With Britt Seva
Joanne Starkman and co-host Casey Voss sit down with beauty industry strategist Britt Seva for a conversation that left them feeling a little star struck—especially Casey, made even more memorable by the chance to chat with Britt Seva, mentor to thousands of Thrivers From the very first question, the energy was honest, playful, and full of admiration for a woman who has helped reshape what leadership looks like in the salon world.

Owning Your Lane In The Industry
Britt shares how her journey started—not with a pair of shears, but with the realization that haircuts weren’t her strength. Instead, her salon owner recognized her standout skills in marketing and management, inviting her to step away from the chair and into the business side of beauty. Joanne and Casey light up as Britt explains how owning her lane early on allowed her to build a path that empowered others to do the same.

Raising The Next Generation With Integrity
The conversation turns tender as Britt opens up about her daughter, Emily, and her own entrepreneurial path in the beauty industry. From starting young to now preparing to rent her own booth, Emily’s story is a reflection of grounded parenting and personal drive. Britt shares candidly how she’s supported her daughter’s journey—without financially spoiling her—and what it means to raise a leader with confidence, clarity, and compassion.
