Happy Birthday to the who girl who stole my heart 22 years ago to this day, the girl who gave my life greater purpose, has given me unmeasurable and unconditional love and joy and happiness, who never ceases to amaze me at how wonderful of a human being she’s grown up to be, and who has taught me more about life and myself than I thought would ever be possible before her arrival into my life.
Many have seen her grow up on my social media from our early day posts like these, and know her as “The Boss” for being the real CEO of our family business.
May our Heavenly Father bless you on this your special day, and may always keep you in His favor throughout your lifetime. I am so, so, so very proud of the young woman you’ve grown up to be and for all of that you’ve accomplished so far, and I can’t wait to see you continue thriving and living your best life for many more years to come.
Happy Birthday my princess , love always, Dad & Savai’i Boy and your entire Solofa family! 🎂🎈🎊 #.

Stop showing and expecting something for nothing, either put in the work with 100% effort or stop complaining about things you’re not doing or even attempting!

What a joy to sing with the men’s chorus today at Mass at Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Fulton, GA (South Atlanta).
I speak often about how we as men need the Barbershop because it provides us with fellowship and community, especially in times of solitude and challenge.
There aren’t too many places anymore for men to find fellowship and community with good, strong, likeminded souls to keep us aligned to strong character, moral compass, and valued convictions, especially in a time where the world and our country’s convictions seem so out of sorts.
My being invited to join the men’s chorus at church has lifted my spirits and brought joy to my heart, as it’s given me a chance to be part of a special ministry with these fine people, who all share my same love for serving God and living with a faith purpose, during a time in my life when that is my biggest calling.
If you are a man struggling in life to find meaning, find strength, find direction, find courage, find harmony and peace, I encourage you to find a source of faith, family, fellowship and community to give you the support and comfort and purpose that can help you gather yourself, get your bearings and better walk this journey,….with others and not alone!

The biggest detriment to Barbering today is the overwhelming sense of entitlement and ego that Barbers have when they have yet to accomplish any true kind of success yet in their careers!
Sure you want to be confident, but confidence comes with experience and understanding one’s limitations and short comings. There are more Barber’s today charging $100 plus for haircuts that are either not busy, have no real skill, have no clientele, and who just want to say that they charge $100 as a flex to people who really don’t care.
But this clip from the series “The Bear” is as accurate a portrayal of how true growth can happen when you swallow your pride and ego, and allow true masters and teachers and mentors to show you how to be successful. This is how I learned as a new Barber and it allowed me to build a business and a brand that still continues to grow today. And I still don’t claim to know everything, I am still a sponge for learning, and I still strive to be a better version of myself as a Barber and business owner everyday!

There’s one thing that’s guaranteed in Barbering,…and that’s that your success as a Barber ISN’T guaranteed!!
No one can want to see you succeed more than you, and honestly, you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone who will really care to even see if you succeed or not.
That means you had better be all in on your career, your goals and your aspirations, or else you’ll find yourself being another washed up Barber hopeful whose demise was their own lack of commitment and attrition.

Not all Barbershops are created equal, and while there is a Barbershop for every kind of Client; the objective is to build a Barbershop that is both welcoming and hospitable.
No amount of buildout aesthetics and ambience can replicate or replace the presence of sincere character and soul. A Barbershop space has to offer clients a space that they enjoy being in, look forward to visiting, feel they belong when they’re there, and feel a sense of comfort, relaxation, and calmness.
That cannot be achieved when no thought was given to the culture of what the shop should be, and instead all the thought went in to how the shop should look.
Luther Vandross was sang that “A chair is still a chair, even when there’s no one sittin’ there
But a chair is not a house and a house is not a home
When there’s no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss goodnight”.
Translated, a basic Barbershop is a space that is dead, where haircuts are to be had, furnished adequately to allow that process to happen. A REAL Barbershop is a space that is alive with banter, conversation, fellowship, brotherhood, support and love that is spread throughout a genuine self-contained community!

Sometimes Barbering feels like a young persons game because standing on one’s feet for 8 plus hours doing back to back haircuts takes its toll on the body when you get up in age.
But whether you’re young or old as a Barber, these are the days that you earn your keep, and they are days to be taken advantage of because there will be days to follow that won’t be busy at all.
Those are the ebbs and flows of the Barbering trade, and they are the waves that very few Barbers would give up to go back to doing anything different for work.
