[270] For people within the industry wanting to blend their career and giving back initiatives with a global and almost immediate impact, empowering individuals living in conditions of poverty by equipping them with the necessary resources to not only survive but thrive with a career in the salon industry helps them connect to a larger purpose through the universal language of hair.

Mandy Pulse (@mandy_saloninspire), the owner of Salon Inspire in Kansas City, Missouri, is one of those people, and that's how the organization for which she's the proud Founder and CEO​ — Global Stylist Scholarship — came to life.

In this episode, we delve into Mandy's journey within the hair and beauty industry, explore her non-profit's transformative work and discuss the impact, challenges and rewards of connecting passion and purpose with global impact.
