For the first time on Barefaced Chat, the mic turns toward the man behind the camera. Sam Friend — videographer, storyteller, and founder of Friend Studios— joins Kelly Saynor to share his journey as both the producer of this podcast and a creative voice in the aesthetics and beauty space.

💬 In this very personal episode, Sam opens up about:

  • His journey of self-teaching in videography and creativity
  • Dealing with hair loss and letting go of identity
  • Creating “The Beauty Industry & Me” short film with Kelly
  • Building Friend Studios and helping brands find their unique voice
  • What it means to be behind the scenes — and finally, in front of the mic

Honest, raw, and inspiring — this episode is a rare look behind the scenes at the creative force shaping Barefaced Chat, and a story of resilience, reinvention, and the power of storytelling.
