Rising Stars: Meet Michael Wooten

Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Wooten.

Hi Michael, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
I have kicked out of the house at 18 moved to Atalanta then got had to leave there too moved back to Illinois then work at the post office for 8 years didn’t feel appreciated quit one day and started my photography business. Paid for barber school now I do barber and photography full time.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Not smooth at all but all a part of the journey. Had some heart breaks friends fall off people used me for their own benefit but I don’t have a backup plan so I made it work.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m a barber and photographer! I’m so proud that I can really take care of myself doing what I love to do. My intentions and style set me apart from everyone. Being genuine has really gotten me far.

Risk-taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
Risk-taking is a part of going far in life. Taking risks makes you uncomfortable but that’s not a bad thing. I take risks all the time like quitting my job after 8 years but it worked out now I make more money than I did.
