In this episode, we sit down with Scott Ramos better known as "Famos", founder of Saint Barber Shop and Saintuary Coffee, to talk about what it really takes to chase your vision and build something from the ground up. From building one of Winnipeg’s most recognized barbershops to cutting hair for celebrities, Famos shares the mindset behind taking risks and betting on yourself.
We touch on his journey, navigating the challenges of the barbering scene to learning the realities of entrepreneurship and leadership. We talk about the sacrifices, the lessons, and the moments that shaped his identity as both a creative and a business owner.
The conversation goes beyond business, diving into what it means to represent your city, build community, and create spaces that bring people together. With Saintuary Cafe & Bar now joining the Saint brand, Famos reflects on how he’s blending creativity, culture, and connection.
