Health conversations don’t usually happen in a barbershop, but maybe they should.

Barbershop Talks is built on real talk and real stories - because this stuff hits different when it’s coming from someone who’s actually lived it.

Tony’s story is first. It starts with a number he didn’t know—and ends with a completely different way of thinking about his health and his family.
