We had the good fortune of connecting with Dani Glover and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dani, how do you think about risk?
You have to take risks if you want to succeed in life. A risk is something that could happen if said plan doesn’t work. Just like there’s a risk, there’s also a reward. I try to focus more on the reward, while still having the risk in mind. Begin fearful while also fearless while always conscious of the who, the why, and the risk has allowed me to be present amongst some amazing people. Risk taking has allowed me to grow as a woman and entrepreneur. When you take risk you find your voice and your power, there is no time for games.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Being a salon owner is one of the joys of my life. It is not an easy job and it requires a lot of your time. I think one of the most important factors in owning a salon is the people who you select to share your space with. It is important to align yourself with people who have the same drive as you, your morals align, your skill sets are similar, and they are able to communicate. The success of the salon begins with the success of the stylist.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I think my go to ATL spot is Harold’s Chicken & Ice Bar on Edgewood. I’m from Chicago and it originated in Chicago and it’s good! One thing I love about ATL is it’s always a vibe. So to say I love one spot is hard. It’s lit on every corner!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to dedicate this shoutout to my 2 heart beats, my son and daughter. They are the reason, they are my blessings. I want them to know anything in life is achievable and the only thing that can stop you is you. Stay pure and kind even on your worst day.
