| 10/12/26 | Things That Change Once You Hit 6 Figures Behind The Chair | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown get into something Hunter has observed consistently across his own career and with every six figure stylist inside Mastermind: once you hit 100K behind the chair, the game changes completely. The strategies, the mindset, the client relationships, and the way you think about your time all need a significant overhaul, and if you do not make those shifts, you will not just plateau. You will start to go backwards. Thi... | 23m 56s | ||||||
| 10/5/26 | The Things You Need To Stop Doing If You Want To Keep Growing | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown get into one of Hunter's most deeply held beliefs: your time is one of your most valuable business resources, and at a certain level of success, how you are spending it is either compounding your growth or quietly capping it. Hunter is direct that this episode is particularly relevant once you have hit the 75K to 100K mark in your business. Because at that point, the things that got you here, doing everything your... | 25m 51s | ||||||
| 9/28/26 | Automations That Can Create Your Best Client Experience | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown break down the client experience framework that Hunter has been building, refining, and implementing with his Mastermind and Modern Stylist Movement students for years, and what it looks like now that AI has taken it to a level that was not possible before. Hunter is clear from the jump: client experience is not just a nice to have. It is the foundation that everything else in your business is built on. Your marke... | 19m 16s | ||||||
| 9/21/26 | How To Personalize Your Automations | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown dig into a concept Hunter has been teaching since the very beginning of his career as an educator: how to use automation and technology not to replace the human touch in your business, but to amplify it. This episode sets the stage for a deeper dive into specific examples coming in the next episode, and it makes the case for why embracing AI is not a luxury for the modern stylist. It is a competitive necessity. Hu... | 13m 47s | ||||||
| 9/14/26 | A Growth Path That Retains Team Members And Makes Money Faster | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown get into one of the most common and costly gaps Hunter is seeing with the salon owners he works with inside Mastermind: a lack of a clear, fair, and measurable growth path for the stylists on their team. Hunter pulls directly from real conversations he has been having with new Mastermind members to break down what a growth plan actually needs to look like, which KPIs actually matter, and why getting this right is ... | 32m 07s | ||||||
| 9/7/26 | The Strategy That Creates A Cult-Like Following | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown dig into a concept that one of Hunter's all-time favorite Mastermind students put into practice and completely ran with: creating a signature methodology. Using the real example of Brandy Chavez, an Arizona based stylist who built her entire brand around a hard water detox method she developed herself, Hunter and Jodie break down why this strategy is one of the most powerful things a niched down stylist can do to ... | 18m 23s | ||||||
| 8/31/26 | Give People A Reason To Give A Shit | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown break down one of the most fundamental communication shifts you can make in your business: giving people a reason to give a shit. Whether you are trying to sell retail, upsell a service, get your team on board, or stop the scroll on social media, the same principle applies across the board, and most stylists and salon owners are skipping it entirely. Hunter pulls from a real consumer behavior study he and Jodie co... | 19m 10s | ||||||
| 8/24/26 | What Has Changed For Hairstylists' Websites in 2026 | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown get into a topic Hunter has been teaching and refining with his Mastermind and Modern Stylist Movement members for the past year: what has actually changed when it comes to building, optimizing, and maintaining a website as a hairstylist right now, and why what worked a few years ago is no longer enough. Hunter is honest that he hates building websites just as much as you do. But he is equally clear that if you wa... | 12m 11s | ||||||
| 8/17/26 | Things AI Can Do For You Behind The Scenes | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown get into one of the most exciting shifts Hunter has been making with his Mastermind and Modern Stylist Movement members over the past year: moving beyond using AI as a chatbot and actually putting it to work as a behind the scenes operator in your business. Hunter is clear that going back and forth with ChatGPT to make a caption is not what this episode is about. This is about what it looks like when AI is genuine... | 25m 08s | ||||||

| 8/10/26 | Gender, Length, Discrimination Topic | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown dive deep into a conversation that started on Hunter's Instagram and clearly struck a nerve. A post about gender and length based pricing got 11,000 views and 57 comments, and the discourse made it clear that this topic needed more than a carousel could hold. Hunter unpacks the full nuance behind his original statement: charging based on who someone is, whether that is their gender, their hair density, or their le... | 22m 45s | ||||||
| 8/3/26 | How To Create A Team That Holds Itself Accountable | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown dig into one of the most common challenges Hunter is seeing as he works with more and more salon owners: how do you actually get your team on board with the changes you are making, and how do you get your clients to follow your lead without it turning into a constant uphill battle? Hunter pulls from his own experience as a leader and from the real conversations he is having inside Mastermind right now to walk thro... | 29m 31s | ||||||
| 8/2/26 | Part 3: Pros And Cons Of Trending Service Niches (Gray Transformations) | In this bonus episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown come back to finish what they started. Gray transformations were promised in the trending service niches series and then completely forgotten, so consider this the part three that the Modern Stylist Movement group asked for. Gray transformation is one of the most in demand niches in the industry right now, and it is also the only one on the list that is deliberately designed to make your clients visit you le... | 14m 41s | ||||||
| 7/27/26 | Part 2: Pros And Cons Of Trending Service Niches | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown wrap up their two part series on trending service niches by breaking down the pros and cons of toppers, men's toppers, gray transformation, and trichology. If you have not listened to part one yet, Hunter strongly recommends starting there first.

| 7/20/26 | Part 1: Pros And Cons Of Trending Service Niches | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown kick off a two part series breaking down the real pros and cons of some of the most popular service niches in the hair industry right now. Hunter has said for years that niching down is one of the most powerful things a stylist can do for their business, and this episode is proof of that. But it also gets honest about the fact that every niche comes with its own unique set of challenges that do not always get talk... | 35m 39s | ||||||
| 7/13/26 | How To Actually Decide What Is Next For Your Business | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown dig into a conversation that comes up constantly at the higher levels of business: you have hit a glass ceiling, you know you want more, and suddenly you are looking left and right at every possible next move instead of figuring out how to keep going up. Hunter shares a real story from a current Mastermind student who is making incredible money working three days a week, has strong demand, and is still feeling cap... | 12m 01s | ||||||
| 7/6/26 | Generic Business Advice Might Be Sending You In The Wrong Direction | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown break down something Hunter has been seeing come up again and again in his private coaching calls: stylists spiraling over business advice that was never meant for them in the first place. Hunter shares three real conversations he had recently with stylists who were each convinced they had a major problem in their business. Spoiler: none of them actually did. This episode is about learning how to filter the noise,... | 24m 54s | ||||||
| 6/29/26 | Things You Should NOT Use AI For | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown get into a topic Hunter feels strongly about: the ways hairstylists and beauty professionals are misusing AI right now, and why it is quietly doing more damage than good to their brands, their businesses, and their client relationships. Hunter is clear that this is not an anti-AI episode. He uses it extensively in his own business and with his students. But there is a big difference between using AI smartly and us... | 33m 55s | ||||||
| 6/22/26 | Why You NEED To Drop A Day Behind The Chair | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown tackle a topic Hunter feels strongly about: why every fully booked hairstylist needs to drop a day behind the chair, and how to do it without losing income. Hunter gets real about the difference between being booked and busy versus actually growing, and why working two full time jobs (doing hair and running the business) is a recipe for burnout and stagnation. This episode breaks down exactly who is ready to take ... | 14m 19s | ||||||
| 6/15/26 | Why Your Loyal Clientele Might Be Your Biggest Obstacle | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown dig into a pattern Hunter kept seeing on calls with stylists who, on paper, have everything figured out. They're booked out, making six figures, and have built a loyal client base over a decade or more. But they're stuck, and they can't figure out why. Hunter breaks down what's really going on for these stylists, and it has nothing to do with talent, work ethic, or how good their business actually is. This episode... | 18m 32s | ||||||
| 6/8/26 | Why You're Not As Smart (Or As Dumb) As You Think You Are | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown explore a concept that hits differently depending on where you are in your business journey: the Dunning-Kruger effect, and what it actually means for hairstylists and beauty entrepreneurs trying to grow. Hunter gets candid about his own spiral after watching a TikTok that made him question whether his confidence in his work was a sign of expertise or a blind spot. What came out of that conversation with Jodie was... | 17m 22s | ||||||
| 6/1/26 | Is Selling A Digital Product The Right Move For You? | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown have the honest, unfiltered conversation that so many beauty professionals need to hear before they go down the road of creating a digital product or online education business. This one started as an off-the-record rant between the two of them and turned into something too real not to share. Hunter breaks down what it actually takes to build a digital product that works, who it is genuinely a great fit for, and wh... | 20m 49s | ||||||
| 5/25/26 | How To Hire Help Without Wasting Money | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, host Hunter Donia and guest Jodie Brown break down what it actually looks like to hire support staff in your beauty business, why most stylists do it wrong, and how to make sure you get a real return on the investment.

| 5/18/26 | Increasing Profitability And Managing Your Finances As An Entrepreneur | In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, host Hunter Donia and guest Jodie Brown get into the money conversation most stylists either avoid entirely or stress about at the wrong time.
