MARK MACIVER
16:05, Monday 25 March – THE GREAT DEBATE: THE APPRENTICE: HIRED OR FIRED?
Mark Maciver (aka ‘SliderCuts’) is one of the UK’s most recognisable barbers. And with campaigns with Nike and Facebook, and a client portfolio that includes Reggie Yates, Anthony Joshua and Tinie Tempah, it’s fair to say, he’s at the top of his game. However, Mark’s success didn’t come overnight. Hard work (12-14 hour shifts seven days a week), a respect for authority and patience for success are key to Mark’s journey, and he now has a passion for inspiring and informing young talent with his experience and insight. “In my career there have been so many ups and downs, things I’ve started and stopped. Money I’ve put into things and lost. So many things have failed but you only see the thing that worked. People say things like, I could’ve thought of that, I could’ve done that. And I say to them yeah you could’ve, but you never would’ve because you weren’t willing to fail, which means you weren’t ready to succeed. And, if you’re not ready to fail, you’re not ready to succeed, because there is failure in success.”
