In this clip from EYL, Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Dave Salvant have a candid conversation about the realities of launching, scaling, and valuing SQUIRE—the revolutionary platform transforming the barbershop industry. Dave Salvant breaks down the challenges and successes of marketing SQUIRE to both Black and non-Black barbershops, revealing how preconceived notions and internal biases initially influenced their outreach strategies. He shares insightful lessons about how he and his team discovered their approach resonated widely, and how direct, authentic engagement can break stereotypes. The discussion delves deep into the nuts and bolts of business growth. Dave details the journey from personally pitching barbershops to building a repeatable, scalable business model and an executive team capable of taking SQUIRE to new heights. He emphasizes the importance of doing the unscalable things at first—rolling up their sleeves and knocking on doors—before building the processes for true scale. For entrepreneurs and anyone fascinated by startups, Dave explains the meaning behind SQUIRE’s incredible $750 million valuation in clear, understandable terms. Listeners get an inside look at how investors determine value, the formulas behind equity stakes, and the significance of creating a diverse team with ownership in the company. Dave and Rashad discuss the evolution of the company’s ownership table, the benefits and drawbacks of equity dilution, and why keeping control is just as vital as raising capital. With over 32,000 barbershops and millions of clients in their ecosystem, this conversation is packed with honest advice, motivation, and the real business insights you won’t get elsewhere. *Key Highlights:*
How Dave Salvant and SQUIRE confronted and overcame biases in marketing to different communities
The evolution from direct sales to scalable processes in the barbershop industry
Real talk about company valuation, investor relationships, and how much a startup is really worth
Strategies for building wealth in diverse communities through equity and ownership
The unique challenges and wins in the journey from hands-on founder to scaling a business with a multi-million dollar market cap

Overcoming Limited Thinking to Build a $750 Million Company

In today’s Earn Your Leisure episode, Mark Saint‑Julien (chatgpt://generic-entity?number=0) breaks down the real truth about investing in real estate across Africa. He explains how he first entered the market, why cash is still king in many African countries due to limited trust in banks, and how investors can avoid common scams. The conversation dives into the three essential land contracts everyone must understand, why cities like Dakar are seeing rising prices with steady demand, and how access to reliable information remains one of the biggest barriers for investors.

 

Mark also highlights where everyday investors can find real opportunities as Africa’s middle class rapidly expands. From the biggest mistakes people make when investing on the continent to realistic cost-of-living insights—like living comfortably in Ivory Coast on $1,500 a month—this episode puts numbers and context behind the hype. The discussion closes with a look at why six-figure earners have outsized purchasing power in Africa, the surprising reality that most travel within Africa is by Africans themselves, and which countries currently offer the best real estate buying opportunities.
