In this episode of Bros and Cons, we sit down with a true hustler and entrepreneur - Saia Bakola - who made the bold move from the U.S. to Tonga to start his very own barbershop.

We dive into:

What inspired him to start a business in Tonga

The challenges and wins of building something from the ground up

His transition into Australian life and learning the culture

His upbringing in California and how it shaped his journey

And of course - plenty of laughs and real talk along the way

Joining hosts Ron Gotti and Malik, along with special guest Jay Lex, this is one for anyone chasing a dream, starting from scratch, or just needing some inspiration and good vibes.
