Sometimes the biggest transformations start with something as simple as a haircut. In this episode of Compound Growth, Colin and Wheeler dive into the surprisingly personal and professional lessons that come from embracing change—beginning with Colin’s decision to shave his head. What starts as a funny conversation about baldness turns into a deeper reflection on honesty, confidence, and the unexpected freedom that comes from letting go of old habits (and old hair).

They explore how small acts of acceptance—whether it’s a new look or a big career decision—can free up mental energy and even inspire others. Colin shares his journey from hiding thinning hair to proudly embracing the clean-shaven look, and how this decision shifted the way people perceived him—and how he perceived himself.

Beyond haircuts, this episode is about growth, authenticity, and the ways we overcomplicate things that don’t really matter. Packed with laughs, personal stories, and sharp insights, it’s a reminder that sometimes the bravest (and best) choice is the simplest one.
