Few introverts can claim to have made a name for themselves by facilitating over 300 podcast conversations, but Alex Bélisle-Springer is not your typical introvert. Public speaker,
award-winning content writer as well as producer and resident host of
the PhorestFM podcast — Alex wears many hats. As the Global Content Education Lead at Phorest, he sets the tone and standard for educational content across the company’s channels, nurtures collaborations with industry experts, and drives community engagement through elearning courses and digital masterclasses.
Their contributions to the salon community over the past nine years have led to online and in-person speaking opportunities with
The Fellowship for British Hairdressing,
Eufora Education,
Creative Head Salon Smart,
Salon Today,
Modern Salon, and the Thrive Sessions, while also making them a sought-after content collaborator, with some of their articles featured in
Beauty Launchpad,
WellSpa 360 Magazine,
SalonEVO,
Salon Today,
Professional Beauty UK,
Thrive Global and
Authority Magazine.
Since coming out as trans in 2021, Alex has dedicated much of his energy to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in his personal and professional life, blending advocacy and mentorship. They bring moving, intersectional perspectives and approaches to business owners and their staff on fostering safer spaces and more inclusive cultures in which understanding, kindness, curiosity and compassion prevail.
When away from his laptop or microphone, Alex can either be found on a football gridiron, lifting weights, watching a sappy rom-com or on set for gigs pertaining to their part-time modelling career.
