The American Crew-sponsored Modern Barber LIVE stage at this year’s Barber Connect welcomes technical whizzes, inspirational speakers, educators, brand builders and YouTube stars. On Sunday June 11th the audience will be treated to a business masterclass with ex-Apprentice finalist Richard Woods. Richard is an award-winning entrepreneur, radio presenter, investor and bestselling author and he knows all about making the right decisions in business.
