Episode Details
Back to EpisodesWe Chat with Tyler Sullivan of Sullivan Beauty: Part 1 [EP:83]
Description
In episode 83, we were excited to sit down with Tyler Sullivan.
Tyler is a son, a brother, a dog lover, a business owner, a friend, and someone we enjoy having conversations with. He's more stuff too, but this is a podcast description, and we only get so many characters.
We talk over tons of topics that we hope will inspire some thought and, if required, some action.
Our conversation lasted over 2 hours, and we've decided to break it into 2 parts rather than edit a bunch of stuff out.
Tyler, alongside his brother Kerry and sister Lauren, owns New England's longest-standing independent beauty supply distributor, Sullivan Beauty. His role within the company is Director of Business Development.
We don't often have guests but have recently considered exploring new avenues. Sitting down with Tyler was a no-brainer for us.
We knew he'd drop some knowledge bombs, inspire action, and bring some fun!
When you meet Tyler, there's one thing that becomes clear almost immediately. . .he's here to help others succeed and he does it by caring.
Some of the topics we covered:
- History of Sullivan Beauty
- Sullivan Beauty HQ in Hooksett, NH - the think tank, the learning center
- Education
- Sullivan Beauty's corporate structure
- The dynamic of working with family
- A distributor's role in the industry
- How and why Hello Hair decided to align with Sullivan Beauty
- The differences between an independent distributor and a conglomerate
- What the client experience looks like at scale - is it still cool to text?
- Staying relevant
Enjoy, and tune in next week for part 2!
