Carlos Harvey. The Garage Barber and Using Pain as a Motivator.

I couldn't take in all of the poetic and prophetic words fast enough. Wise beyond words and kind beyond the capacity of most, Carlos has used his tonsorial talent to give back to select groups of youth in our community.

 Listen as this Champaign native talks all things grooming, the importance of looking good to feel good, feeling good to perform good, abuse, divorce, being a dad to a big brood, the priority to support your children, athletics, failing to pass a college entrance test, selling drugs, getting caught, getting shot, creating a business plan, the love of a loyal woman and cutting hair throughout it ALL. The artistry and talent behind cutting hair led him to give back through, "A Cut Above the Rest Barber Academy." What an honor to meet someone who is representative of coming full circle.

Each week I bring you a pod where townies and transplants share their tales of tears and triumphs, losses and wins.
