If you run a client-based business, the scariest part of taking time off isn’t the vacation… it’s wondering if your clients will still be there when you come back.

In this episode, Melinda sits down with Leisha Thompson, founder of The Traveling Hairstylists, a company that helps appointment-based professionals step away for maternity leave, medical leave, surgery, or unexpected life events… without losing the clients they worked years to build.

Leisha shares how she built a travel-based coverage team, why client retention is the real asset, and how she’s creating a whole new model of support for service-business owners across the country.
