Author: Follow on IG @hairdustry October 13, 2025 Duration: 56:51

Corey Gray and co-host Geno Chapman (@genochapman) sit down in Ibiza with Depot Male Tools Global Ambassadors — Luca Malnati (@luca.malnati)Dario J Braun (@dariobarbers.nl), and Tom Hoffman (@diligents_tom @diligentssalons) — for a raw, funny, and inspiring conversation about creativity, connection, and community in the barber world.

Recorded live at Hairtopia, powered by BeautyNova, this episode captures the unique energy of an event that feels more like a beach festival than a hair show. The group dives into how freedom fuels artistry, what it means to collaborate without ego, and how barbers can protect their mental space while building meaningful careers.

You’ll hear:
• How the Depot team turned a stage show into a full-on Ibiza vibe
• The art of street casting real people for authentic work
• Why teamwork and honest feedback create better shows
• How to reset after high-energy events without burning out
• The practice of asking for opportunities — not waiting for them
• Why what you consume shapes your next five years

The conversation moves easily from humor to honesty — from travel chaos and music inspiration to deep talk on leadership, self-awareness, and gratitude for the craft. It’s barbers being human, and that’s exactly what makes it resonate.
