✅ The balance between custom work and production work in business
✅ Streamlining operations to maximize time and profitability
✅ Post-COVID business realities and adjusting to new challenges
✅ How entrepreneurs can reassess, pivot, and set up for success in 2025

In this episode we sat down with Sergio "El Cheko" Melgar, a barber turned comedian but still doing the fresh cuts. We learned about Sergio's humble beginnings growing up as a kid in Sinaloa Mexico, to becoming a you teen and later adult in Southern California.

After a few unsatisfactory jobs and working for a barber who essentially became his mentor, Sergio went and opened a barber shop in Pico Rivera and later on a second location. During that time he decided to get into comedy and now he's not just a funny guy, but he also hosts a few successful open mic nights in Bell, Downey and a few other cities.

Listen in on this fun episode to get to know Sergio a bit more.
