Manage episode 458826653 series 3593148
This week on Beyond The Cover, I sit down with Fonzo, a man whose story is as powerful as his presence. You might know him as a skilled barber with a massive social media following, 90,000 strong on Instagram and over half a million on TikTok but today, you’ll get to know the man behind the clippers. Fonzo shares how his stepdad shaped him into the resilient, grounded person he is today, teaching him to work hard, embrace life’s challenges, and always show up.
We dive deep into what it means to grow through grief, as Fonzo reflects on the profound lessons he learned from losing his stepdad. His perspective on finding strength in faith and purpose in pain is something we all need to hear. We also discuss the unique role barbers play in their clients' lives creating a space for connection, vulnerability, and even healing.
Fonzo isn’t just cutting hair; he’s creating art, sparking conversations, and inspiring others to embrace their own journeys. This episode is raw, heartfelt, and a true testament to the power of resilience, gratitude, and showing up every single day.
