Today we talk to Janine Mattera, one of the owners of Mane Maven, an award-winning extension salon and beauty bar in Rumson, NJ. The stylists there have cultivated an ambiance that offers a true experience when it comes to Women’s Hair Cuts, Barbering, Extensions and Blowout Packages. Janine tells us about what it was like starting a business, having to treat your partnership like a marriage, correcting one another when something doesn’t get done. As of the recording of this episode she is currently single and she explains that running a business takes up a lot of time and therefore has less time to allocate to dating, so she has to focus more on the quality guys.

“Just people who love what they do, they have fun while doing it. That is all me, I truly love what I do. I’m so passionate about it, but I actually have fun doing it. People ask me what my hobby is and I tell them doing hair. And they’re like, ‘No, that’s what you do for work.’ I’m like, ‘That’s also my hobby.’” 17:41

Marketing Strategist, Copywriter, & Media Buyer - Matthew Iglesias

In this episode we have the opportunity to speak with entrepreneur Matthew Iglesias, who is a marketing strategist, copywriter, and media buyer. We discuss the positives of being vulnerable and why it can help you in networking. Many people see vulnerability as being a weakness and are afraid that if they open up, people will see them as weak, but what many don’t realize is that it will make you appear human and humble, which draws people to you and gains a large amount of respect from them. We discuss goal making and Matthew tells us the importance of going over your goals more than once a day and the importance of discipline in being successful.

“I was thinking about this the other day, I was like, ‘Why is it that athletes and musicians are the biggest celebrities in the world?’ It’s because they entertain. Humans want to be entertained almost more than anything else. If you’re a business who is trying to create that raving fan effect, you have to entertain your customers while simultaneously educating them on the product, and when those two come together, it’s a very good recipe for you being able to not only to get them to convert into customers, but to retain as customers and become raving fans.” 29:25

“You’ve gotta know your ‘why.’ For me being an entrepreneur from such a young age and not really having a mentor or role model to follow in my career, it was very important for me to know why I needed to get up in the morning, why I had to motivate myself to work, why I had to go to the office.” 7:07
