Why this hairdresser became president of Paul Mitchell

Ever feel like your career dreams are “too big”? 💭 What if the only thing standing between you and your dream role is taking the first leap?

This week on the Hairdustry x Beauty Launchpad collab—we’re celebrating the stylist 🙌

And this one? He’s the PRESIDENT of @paulmitchell.

👇 Jason Yates went from sweeping floors in a UK salon at 15 to running one of the most iconic beauty brands in the world.

And, he never lost his license.

But this isn't just a glow-up story. It's a real talk about:

⚡ Following your gut
⚡ Building a career without a fancy degree
⚡ Making sustainability more than a buzzword
⚡ Why being a stylist is a superpower in business

Gabby Bach @gabbymarieedits (Associate Managing Editor @beautylaunchpad) joins as co-host to get into the real stuff—passion, purpose, and the power of being in the trenches.

And if you’ve ever felt like you’re “just” a stylist—this episode flips that script for good.
