Limitless

The "HIYA" Girl

Limitless

Show Notes

She was told she had to be 21. She was 18.

So Kelly Lundberg walked straight up to the woman running the room, told the truth about her age and asked for the first interview slot anyway.That's the whole thing, really. Honesty, then speed. It's how she built a styling agency from a faxed press release, sold it 15 years later, and stood on a TEDx stage not once but twice.

This week on Limitless, I finally got my own brand mentor of five years into the studio. We got into the stuff that actually runs underneath a "successful" life: → Why your personal brand is a vehicle, not a feed → The reframe that changes everything: it's not "what's the worst that can happen" it's knowing you can handle it → Leaving a marriage that looked perfect on paper → How she reverse-engineered a second TEDx talk from one intentional goal

Kelly is one of the best action-takers I know. This one will make you want to move.

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.
