I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Damon Haley Co‑founder of Glow and Flow Beauty, discussing his transition from entertainment and sports marketing into the beauty-supply industry, his mission to elevate service for Black and Brown communities, and the franchising model he is rolling out nationwide. Hosted by Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass, the conversation highlights Haley’s business philosophy, community-driven approach, and long-term vision to create ownership opportunities through franchising. 🎯 Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Highlight Damon Haley’s entrepreneurial journey How he moved from high-level event production and marketing (Nike, Pepsi, Coke) into beauty retail. 2. Explain why the beauty-supply industry needs Black ownership Haley outlines the disconnect between Black consumer spending and the lack of Black-owned beauty-supply stores. 3. Promote Glow and Flow Beauty’s mission A service-first retail model designed to uplift, educate, and serve Black and Brown consumers with dignity. 4. Introduce Glow and Flow’s franchising opportunity Haley frames franchising as a path for individuals to enter business ownership with support and a proven model. 5. Inspire listeners to embrace change and pursue entrepreneurship He shares personal experiences overcoming naysayers and trusting his instincts. 📌 Key Takeaways from the Interview 1. The Beauty Industry Is a Huge, Under-Owned Space for Black Entrepreneurs Black consumers spend heavily on beauty, but historically have not owned the supply-chain or retail footprint.Haley wants to change that by bringing ownership and pride back to local communities. 2. Glow and Flow Beauty Focuses on Service, Experience, and Community The stores celebrate culture (Breast Cancer Month, Black History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month).Customer care is central—Haley emphasizes smiles, water for coughing customers, and creating “fabulousness.” 3. Franchising Eliminates the “Start From Zero” Problem Haley believes franchising is more accessible than starting independently because: You get a proven model.You get supply-chain support.You avoid costly mistakes. 4. Hair Is the Cornerstone of the Business Glow and Flow launched its own synthetic hair brand, SLAY (with 3 Ys).Synthetic hair dominates due to affordability.Human hair is sourced from Asia, Africa, and Southeast Asia. 5. Inventory & Capital Are Major Barriers to Entry Beauty supply requires heavy up‑front inventory investment.Glow and Flow stays heavily stocked to maintain customer trust. 6. Data + Marketing Experience = Competitive Advantage Haley leverages his corporate marketing background (Nike, Foot Locker) to optimize retail presentation, customer experience, and product mix. 7. His Long-Term Vision: 40 Stores Nationwide His exit strategy is to build 40 Glow and Flow stores (McDonald jokes he’d smile at 100). 8. E-commerce and Community Outreach Expand Their Reach GlowAndFlowBeauty.com sells products and SLAY hair online, with shipping and local pickup.Stores support community fundraisers by including materials in shoppers’ bags (up to 5,000 per month). 💬 Notable Quotes (From the Transcript) On the power of beauty in the community “When we look good, we feel good. When we feel good, we be good, we do good.” On why Black beauty ownership matters “We’re buyers… we’re consumers… we just don’t own.” On moving into the beauty industry “We’ve had the short end of the stick — not only from recycling our Black dollars, but the concept of service.” On franchising “You don’t start from zero with a franchise… you have a corporation behind you.” On entrepreneurship and criticism “There’s jealous, envy, and naysayers… but I’ve never been fearful of change.” On customer service “I try to give you other stuff… I give you a smile… if you cough, I’m gonna give you some water.” On the importance of hair “Hair is the cornerstone of our beauty industry.” On long-term ambitions “I would love to have maybe 40 Glow and Flows nationwide.” #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
