From military deployment to healing bodies and bank accounts—this is the story of a man who turned a botched fade into a booming brand.
In this powerful episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, host Melvin Larry sits down with George Irving—aka G.I. The Hair Doctor.
From military service to master barbering, and now the creator of 30+ holistic products and 36+ wellness drinks, George’s journey is a masterclass in reinvention, service, and spirit-led entrepreneurship.
He shares how a butchered haircut led to his passion for cutting hair, how a prophetic word ignited a business dream, and how his products now help people relieve pain, regrow hair, and feel better from the inside out. If you've ever felt stuck or uncertain about your next move, George’s story will inspire you to move with purpose—and faith.
