The Calum Johnson Show

Vic Blends is the barber who has cut Barack Obama, Tom Brady and Lil Baby. He started cutting hair in his mom's garage, moved to Atlanta into a basement apartment full of roaches, and gained 5 million followers in 5 days giving strangers free haircuts. In this episode, Vic reveals the one video that blew up his following, how he got Barack Obama in his barber chair, and why 10K followers can be worth more than millions. He also opens up about the 72 hours without sleep that led to a manic episode and made him lose everything.
