What does it take to build a legacy that extends far beyond business success? Wynn Claybaugh, the visionary co-founder and dean of Paul Mitchell Schools, shares his extraordinary journey from salon owner to educational pioneer, author, and philanthropist who has raised over $26 million for charity.
This conversation peels back the layers of what true leadership looks like in today's world. Wynn reveals how he transformed a small vision of seven schools into an educational empire of 110 locations, all while creating a culture people genuinely want to belong to. His refreshing philosophy – "You'll see it after you first believe it" – challenges conventional wisdom and offers a blueprint for anyone seeking to manifest their dreams.
The discussion goes beyond business strategy to explore Wynn's intentional approach to daily life. From his meticulously crafted 4 AM routine (complete with 20 candles and carefully selected music) to his practice of carrying handwritten notes from friends in his planner, Wynn demonstrates how small, deliberate choices create the foundation for lasting success and happiness. His candid admission that happiness doesn't come naturally to him, requiring daily work and discipline, brings a refreshing authenticity to his message.
Perhaps most compelling is Wynn's passionate advocacy for philanthropy as a core business practice, not an optional add-on after achieving success. He shares powerful statistics showing how community involvement builds customer loyalty and attracts purpose-driven team members. This isn't just feel-good advice – it's practical wisdom backed by real-world results.
Whether you're just starting your entrepreneurial journey or leading an established organization, Wynn's insights on culture-building, relationship cultivation, and intentional living offer a transformative roadmap for creating success that matters. His three-step approach to building trust – transparency, empathy, and consistency – provides a simple yet profound framework anyone can implement immediately.
