Living Your Best Life with Gav Thompson

S3 EP9 Dot Dot Dot with Joshua Coombes - Hairdresser To The Homeless

Sep 24, 2021

In 2015, Joshua Coombes was walking home from his hairdressing salon in London when he stopped to talk to a homeless man and ended up giving him a haircut on the street that would change Joshua's life.

Joshua has since gone on to take that very simple idea of giving a homeless person a little bit of free help and turned it into a movement #DoSomethingForNothing and has recently written a book about how this little act of selfless generosity can help change lives.

Gav & Joshua have a (rather sweary) chat about the simplicity and power of this idea, the complex issue of homelessness and how we are just a few poor choices from ending up on the receiving end of one of his haircuts.

This is a powerful story told by a passionate and charismatic maverick hairdresser and activist.

Thank you

Please buy and read Joshua's book "Do Something for Nothing" and join the movement
