Discipline Saved Him: Lawrence Wright on Barbering, Mental Health & Purpose | Season 1 Episode 5

Today, we’re talking about discipline, mental health, and the unseen work behind mastering your craft — the kind of work that shapes character long before it shapes success.

Lawrence Wright, master barber and founder of The Barber Pill, joins us for a grounded and honest conversation about barbering, family, self-discipline, and the responsibility that comes with influence.

Lawrence’s journey into barbering began in high school, but his greatest growth didn’t come from clippers alone — it came from learning how to manage stress, protect his mental health, serve his community, and show up fully for his family.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why mental health is a leadership responsibility, not a side topic
• How discipline from martial arts carries into business and life
• The importance of work-life balance in entrepreneurship
• How culture shapes work ethic, resilience, and perspective
• Why community service keeps leaders grounded and humble
• Turning personal challenges into fuel for growth

If you’re an entrepreneur, creative, parent, or someone committed to personal growth — this episode will challenge you to slow down, check on people, and lead with intention both in business and in life.
