A single mom cut her son's hair during COVID and enrolled in barber school that week. Hear how FadesxDre built Ritual Barber Studio in Grapevine, TX.
In 2020, Dre was a single mom working for the state when her son needed a haircut. She grabbed a clipper kit from Walmart, and it came out good enough that she enrolled in barber school that same week.
In Part 2 of our conversation, FadesxDre shares what she saw working CPS cases, how she finished barber school during COVID, and why she packed a U-Haul and moved to Dallas to start over. Today she owns Ritual Barber Studio in Grapevine, Texas, has cut for the Mavericks G League team and the UT Cotton Bowl team, and judges barber competitions across Texas.
This episode is for anyone thinking about a career change, aspiring barbers, and women building a business in a male-dominated industry. Dre's advice is simple: stay disciplined, stay consistent, and learn business first.

A Latino Immigrant's Story | The Global Latin Factor
He was a kid in Mexico wearing huaraches. He couldn't see what was coming.
At 11 years old, Crispin Valentin came to the United States undocumented. He later became a citizen, served in Iraq with the U.S. Army, and came home to a fight with PTSD that most people never saw. Today he hosts The Global Latin Factor Podcast, where he tells Latino stories out of the DFW area.
In this solo episode, he tells his own. Immigration, identity, service, rebuilding, and why he believes significance matters more than fame.
