Ep 7.14. Building in Public: Sacrifice, Space, and Turkey Bacon
In this episode, Kiné Corder shares a candid, behind-the-scenes moment over a turkey bacon sandwich to explore what it really means to “build in public.” She talks about the lifestyle and financial sacrifices required to grow both her therapy practice and her work with barbers, the trade-offs between luxury and purpose, and her vision for intimate in-person gatherings with barbers to better understand their needs. Along the way, she reflects on her dietary choices, cultural background, and the encouragement that fuels her steady, intentional growth.
