In this episode of The Refine Network Podcast, we sit down with Joe DiFalco, Senior Partnerships Manager at Phorest, one of the leading salon software platforms, to talk about where the industry is headed and how technology is shaping the future of salons.

From the rise of goal-setting features to the power of data-driven decision making, Joe shares insights from over 7 years at Phorest — including what salons are doing differently to grow, which trends are shaping the industry, and why the right tech can be the difference between staying stuck and scaling up.

If you’ve ever wondered how software can go beyond booking to truly impact your salon’s success, this conversation is for you.

What do people actually regret at the end of their lives—and how can leaders like you avoid the same fate?

In this episode, David Naim returns to share three powerful reflections from his late father’s legacy that every leader should hear: the importance of reflection, relationships, and risk. If you're building a business, a team, or a life with purpose, this one will hit home.

Whether you're in your 20s wondering about your purpose, or leading an organization and feeling pulled in every direction—these are the reminders that matter most.
