What it’s like teaching six haircuts in four days with limited resources and language barriers
The impact of giving students a certificate that can change their future
Emotional highlights, including meeting graduates now running their own salons
Cultural experiences in Cambodia: Angkor Wat at sunrise, Kulin Mountain waterfalls, and an elephant sanctuary
Why “presence means surrender” became Corey’s biggest takeaway
The resilience of the Cambodian people and the lasting friendships formed

Whether you’re a hairstylist looking to give back or someone curious about humanitarian work, this conversation is a powerful reminder that your skills can change lives—yours included.
