Meet John Rawson. The Master Behind the Lens. Feb 03, 2020

Show notes

Meet John Rawson. The Master Behind the Lens.

I’m not sure how to write this descriptor, so let’s just state the facts. John’s masterful photographic work has won:

Oh yes, we failed to mention his 220 cover photos and dozens of other awards. It’s pretty safe to say if you’re looking to shoot a cover or win a major competition, John is a great person to have on your creative team. (you can see why I was stumbling for words)

With all the accolades, the man you’ll hear in this conversation has no air of ego… Not at all, you’ll simply meet a humble man who lets the work speak for itself. The type of person you feel like you’ve known for years in just one conversation. (that’s how we felt)

We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we loved having it!

In this conversation, you’ll hear possibly the greatest turn around story in the salon industry today.

While looking for the right fit, he received a tip from a friend of a company that was looking to sell. That brand was called Lanza.

Beginning as a value-driven brand David knew if it was to work, he would have to completely recreate and resurrect what was a culture that needed more than a facelift.

16 Years later, Lanza is one of the most recognized names in the salon industry, attracting talents like Matt Swinney, Ammon Carver, Leah Freeman, and Scott Sueper.
