FIRST ISSUE: Alexey Lokontsev / TOPGAN, about business 2026, enemies, and the harsh truth
He built a barbering empire, made it onto Forbes, and survived dozens of conflicts with partners and competitors. And now, perhaps, it's time for our first frank conversation, without the gloss.
This is the first episode of the "Sincere Podcast," and we're going all-out.
Our first guest is Alexey Lokontsev!
This podcast isn't about big titles, but about what often remains behind the scenes.
Here you'll learn:
— Who is any businessman's biggest enemy (spoiler: not competitors);
— How family and children change entrepreneurial thinking;
— What will happen to barbering in 2026: collapse or a new wave;
— Behind-the-scenes conflicts and personal stories that Forbes doesn't know.
We deliberately avoided the standard questions. That's why it's all about honesty.
Enjoy!
