Summary
This one’s got everything… small town grit, big life pivots, and a barbershop that somehow turned into a community hub.
We sit down with Chris Walsh, the owner of Hemingway’s Barbershop, to talk about his journey from the hospitality grind to building one of Midland’s most talked-about local businesses. From chasing snow in Banff to opening a shop (and now expanding into Muskoka), Chris breaks down what it really takes to bet on yourself… and win.
We get into:
- Walking away from a stable job to go all in
- Building a business from scratch (literally… tools and all)
- Why community > competition
- The reality of entrepreneurship no one talks about
- And how a barbershop became a place people actually want to hang out
There’s also a solid mix of laughs, life lessons, and yes… a raccoon rave in the attic.
If you’ve ever thought about starting something of your own, this episode might just be the nudge you needed.
