Show Notes
What if the pain you have been running from is the very thing that will make you unstoppable? In this solo episode, Noona shares one of the most personal and powerful conversations she has had on the podcast. Drawing from her own experience of losing her father and the grief she had to face head on, she explores why pain is never wasted and what happens when you finally stop running from it. She covers five things pain teaches us when we let ourselves feel it: why avoiding pain does not delete it, it just sends it underground; why the version of you on the other side of pain is the most powerful version of you; why high achievers are often the worst at this; how your nervous system will keep recreating your pain until you meet it; and why sitting with pain is not a weakness but the most advanced leadership skill you can develop. This one is raw, real, and necessary.

Callum and Paul, the stylist and colourist behind By The Boys in Dubai, were weeks from moving to LA and filming a Netflix show when COVID shut everything down in March 2020. They had already handed back their UK salon, given up the house and thrown the leaving party, so they moved to Dubai and built a brand people were chasing before it had a front door.Across 44 minutes with Noona Nafoosi, you get the full LA story, how Callum grew his first salon from age 19 to a £2 million turnover with 42 staff, why By The Boys pays uncapped commission instead of salaries, and the emotional weight hairdressers carry for their clients. It ends with the plans for salon number 2 and a round of Noisy Noona questions that nearly broke the host.Chapters:00:00 Introduction02:50 The LA dream and Netflix04:32 COVID and the Dubai pivot06:11 A stylist and colourist double act11:23 A salon with no door18:18 Dyslexic at 19, £2 million later21:00 Hairdressing's hidden millionaires23:05 No salaries, uncapped commission24:46 The trauma bomb behind the chair30:13 Nosy Noona questions40:41 Salon number 2Connect with Callum & PaulInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bytheboysdubai/ https://www.instagram.com/paulstandenmay.colour/ https://www.instagram.com/callumstandenmay/Work with Noona🔹 1:1 Executive Coaching → https://neonoor.com/work-with-us/🔹 Keynote Speaking → https://neonoor.com/services/speaking-events/🔹 Corporate Training & Workshops → https://confidenceclaritystrategycall.as.me/schedule/a95442fe🔹 Coaching Session Questionnaire → https://form.jotform.com/Neo_Noor/coaching-applicationConnect with Noona📲 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/limitlessbynoona🎥 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@limitlessbynoona🌐 Website → https://www.neonoor.com📩 Email → [email protected] Nafousi is a Master NLP Trainer, executive search veteran of two decades, and the creator of The Limitless Leader Codes.
