I’ve been doing this since I was 18, and I still love what we do every day.

Somehow, along the way, corporate politics and people pretending to help always seem to try to humble you—as if that’s going to change the assignment.

It won’t. 🤷🏾 God says different.

Part 2. I got played 💰. I talk about how I invented online appointment booking for hair services, starting from my early tech career in 1996, building a website for my barbershop in 2005, and eventually licensing the product for a million dollars after a clever legal maneuver. by @iam_calvinbrown

I’m returning to the TEDx team for a follow-up presentation and final vetting round for my idea, “Big Constellations.”
Every business has its own identity and place in the world. Like stars in the cosmos, technology can connect them without dimming what makes each unique—creating better outcomes for all, not just a few. That's my belief, and I'm sharing it with the world.

The Future Is Everyone. 🌍

Honored to share that I’ll be speaking this International Men’s Day.

As a technologist and founder, I spend my days thinking about what we’re building and who it’s for. As a community leader, I know the answer has to be everyone. That means making sure men and boys are part of the conversation on health, opportunity, and outcomes, alongside everyone else.

📅 Thursday, November 19, 2026
🌐 Celebrated in over 80 countries

I’m looking forward to honoring the role models who shaped us and talking about how we build a more inclusive future together.

We talk about why barbershops and salons should have their own branded app instead of being listed next to competitors in third-party apps. We explain how our technology offers a custom app with no monthly fees, a three-step booking process, and a $1.35 hold fee to ensure serious appointments and track repeat customers.#BarberApp #SalonApp #NoMonthlyFees #BrandedApp #BookingSolution by @iam_calvinbrown
