Kat moved to Karratha at 19 with no plan and no guarantee.
She did not get the job she travelled 24 hours for
But she stayed. Learned. Built. Risked.
Today she runs The Big Beard Cartel, one of the most respected barbershops in town.
We discuss:
• Why standards matter more than talent
• How she opened with almost no capital
• Hiring barbers who match the culture
• Treating bad feedback as data
• Transitioning from working in the business to running it
• Raising 3 kids while managing growth
This episode is about ownership, resilience, and shaping your environment instead of waiting for the perfect blueprint.
