20
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: I attended private school, so we had to know facetool

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: hair and policy. So I had to get rid of it.

22
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: So that was that was a downfall, but I love it. Well,

25
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: So let's let's let's talk about you know, being a

26
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: person who who got face your hair at such an

27
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: early age. What were the challenges for you or who

28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: did you turn for advice or information at that at

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: that state, even though you didn't carry your round because

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: your your school uh made you cut cut it you

31
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: do you could, you had to deal with the issues

32
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: of shaving. I'm much you're daily shaving or least shaving

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: because several times a week. How did you deal with that?

34
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: Who did you turn for advice? Well, I actually turned

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: out I went to a Derman talget because I could

36
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: never really shave. I never used a straight razor on

37
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: my face because it used to irritate my skin, and

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: that was a reason why I went to the Derman tlogist.

39
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: So I went to my Derm challenges for the advice.

40
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: Um also the doctor's note to give to my school

41
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't have to really shave too much, just

42
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: keep it a little, you know, closer, but you know,

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: so they won't really you know notice it. But uh,

44
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: that's that would be the person who I I attend

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: to for advice. First I had to go on the

46
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: medical side. I'm like, wait a minute, this is I

47
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: don't want to continue to you know, mess up my skin.

48
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: So once uh, once graduation came uh and I was

49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: I was a freeman from high school. I break that.

50
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: I know because I have the same problem, Like if

51
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: you put a razor on my face, I would break out.

52
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: You know. I I used an electric razor all my life,

53
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, because that's the only way I can actually

54
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: shave around my neckline with which I you know, when

55
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: you have a beer, that's where you shave, and that's

56
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: where it was. There's a general tendency to bump up

57
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: although your neckline and things of that nature. So I

58
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: know that I know you're having to deal with. That

59
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: was a pretty frustrating period for me to admit that

60
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: this is how I have to deal with my my

61
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: hair facial hair conditions, because so many people don't. They

62
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: just look at face your hair and think it's just

63
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: a simple process and it's really a lot more complicated

64
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: than that. Correct. Oh, yes, sir. And on top of that,

65
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm still in the stage of almost puberty. I mean fourteen,

66
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: the ages were between maybe elevenists to fourteen fifteen, So

67
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: I have you know, I had acne also in high school.

68
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: So with sad on top of this, I'm like, no, no,

69
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't do this. I can I can't.

70
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: I can, right, And so so as you as you,

71
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: as you go through life, you you you you dealt

72
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: with this through high school. Now he's on the college

73
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: and like, so you have a full beard. When did

74
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: the entrepreneurs side of you started to develop out of this? Well?

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: I always as a kid watching my parents, who are

76
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: both entrepreneurs, I've always had that in my blood. Never

77
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: knew what journey was gonna take me. But fast forward

78
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: once I'm in college. Um, I had a beard. As

79
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: a college sophomore, had a beard. I love my beard,

80
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: and I wanted to, you know, find out how much

81
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: how how can I maintain it? So I started purchasing

82
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: a lot of beer care products somewhere, okay, A lot

83
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: weren't okay, And um, I'm spending my money months to

84
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: months on beercare products. Money that was that was, that

85
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: was my weekend money, that was that was my my

86
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: turn I turned on money, so I'm like, wait a minute,

87
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Wait a minute. So I did my

88
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: own research on various essential oils, utters and all natural products.

89
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: And I also had you know, close excuse me close

90
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: friends that were new to the beard community, so they

91
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: were kind of like my testers. So I started to make,

92
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, whip it up in the kitchen and um

93
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: made it for myself as well as my friends, and

94
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: got great reviews. And for me, I'm like, okay, I

95
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: got great reviews. Okay, that's good. That's good. Then I'm

96
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: walking around campus. Uh you know, I look in all

97
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: different directions north, south, east, west, and I realized I'm

98
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: looking at guys with beard, gotees, mustaches. So right then

99
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: and there, I knew it was a market for it.

100
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: And that's pretty much where I said, Okay, let me

101
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: write down my business plan. And from there on until

102
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,200

00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: just slapped in on your face and you started smiling.

00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: Then everybody starts smiling with you what because it wasn't sticky?

126
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: it's really a really, really great product. So let's talk

127
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: about the early stages of you in the kitchen whipping

128
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: stuff up. Okay, well, various butters and all that, all

129
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: natural essential oils. That's that's that was my main ingredients

130
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: that was open up. I can't you know, I can't

131
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: give any sense out but h but things like bees wax.

132
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: I was researching things that were good for hair textures

133
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: and good for our skin. Make sure had all the

134
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: right vitamins that can help nourish and help help take

135
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: care of our beers. Right now, let's talk about your

136
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: product you have it. How could your product help men

137
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: in the bearded community, because you know, you know, yeah,

138
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: James James Harden, you know it's really NBA the beer,

139
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: which I really don't know that excites you because that

140
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: means the beers are being more and more popular in it.

141
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: Beers are not just tied to any particular ethnic group

142
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: either and so so so the branding of the beer

143
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: is just like Michael Jordan's came along in the eighties

144
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: and they made the ball head popular. And now James Beard,

145
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: James James Harden is making the beer popular in the NBA,

146
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: and and that that's hitting that millennial market share that

147
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: you want. Because I always tell people, you get your

148
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: customers earlier to stay with you forever. And so how

149
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: would the question back to us, how would your product

150
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: help men in the beard of community? Will help all around.

151
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: First with cleansiness. It will keep it nice and clean,

152
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: a great very moisturized and all around maintained. Because I

153
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: always tell people remember a clean beard is a healthy beard,

154
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: and that will that will prevent because our facial hair

155
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: is the magnetum bacteria and grease. You want to help

156
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: maintain that because if you don't, bacteria will sometimes well

157
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: excusing will lead to irritation to the skin and might

158
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: lead to infection, and they don't. Right, It's little things

159
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: like that that you did. You don't even realize the

160
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: the overall. You know, if you're lazy with you know

161
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: it can go back to your facial hair. Just if

162
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: you don't have facial hair, you know, just not washing

163
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: you face. Now you got hair on the face, which

164
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: means that's a double because you have to worry about

165
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: your skin drying underneath your beard. And so talk about

166
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: your product in general. How you you know got I

167
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: got it because I've gotten several kids from you, and

168
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: I bought a couple of kids where they have the brush,

169
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: they have the comb, they have certain oils, they have

170
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: certain some talk about the whole process of putting together

171
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: the brand. I'm talking to uh Avin, Uh excuse me, Arrington. Gavin,

172
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: who's the CEO of Rugged Evolution, is a bearded bearded

173
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: hair Caroline and he were talking about the whole process

174
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: of In seventeen, he launched an online store. I am

175
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: a user of his products. I'm a believer of his products. Uh.

176
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: If you go online, you see the quality of the

177
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: art work, You see the quality of the website, which

178
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: is always really key when people launched their brands, because

179
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: that's the first line of experience when you're starting to

180
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: put your brand out. How does it look online? How

181
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: does it look on your smartphone? How does it look

182
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: on your large cream laptop or desktop. So now we

183
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: at the point now where you have a product out there,

184
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: how do you start developing the lines within your product? Uh? Well, first,

185
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: first what I did made sure I have my business

186
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: plan out on paper, and then I made sure that

187
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: there first was a market for it. And this is

188
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: this is off that form when I was in college,

189
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: made sure it was a market spard then of course

190
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: building on, uh, building on a great excuse me a

191
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: marketing team that can help with the marketing and the finances.

192
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: And UH to two main components, incorporated and being trademarked

193
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: UH and the two the two different UH for anybody

194
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: that's not too familiar with it. Being incorporated will help

195
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: you in your state. That'll protect your name within your state.

196
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: Being trademark will help you around the country. So that

197
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: was my main focus as far as building building that brand. UM.

198
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: But but given building that side UH, as far as

199
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: within my UH within Rugged evolution, I wanted to first

200
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: have the quota that UH you can whether you're a

201
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: man of UH, whether you're a labor worker or working

202
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: corporate America, you can still be a man of distinction

203
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: and rocket well groomed beers, which is really UM where

204
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: we're at nowadays with the look you know, because at

205
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: one time I used to work c IBM. You know,

206
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: you have a beerd on that wasn't accepted at all

207
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: in IBM, and now now because of you know times

208
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: and you know looks, keeping it keeping that beer tight

209
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, no leoty look alike. It's all over

210
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: the place. Plus allowing natural hair care products and natural

211
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: hairstyles to be used to be worn in corporate America,

212
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: it really has. Has you've you've launched your product. As

213
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: once said, there's there's never you can use the word

214
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: perfect time. I would say at the right time, correct,

215
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: yes sir, yes sir. And within within starting that, I

216
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: started off with a conditioning ship too. Made sure I

217
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: want to have a two on one because it always

218
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: starts with a great wash. Then I started incorporate. Okay,

219
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: let me start working with the oils because we all

220
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: have depending on length. Oil is made to treat the skin,

221
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: and we want to take care of the skin first

222
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: because a lot of a lot of times I'll get

223
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: customers that say, man, I get this itchy and irritation

224
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: that's really flaking as well, the skin under the hair

225
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: is not being taken care of, so you want to

226
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: keep that more sure us. Then for the men with

227
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: more length, I created a beard bomb. The beer bomb

228
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: is made to treat the outer layers of the hair.

229
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: Also is a great rather and it helps detangle the

230
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: hair as well. And I want to I wanted to

231
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: also broaden the broaden the brand or assuming the line

232
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: was having sixteen since since uh not everybody you know

233
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: likes the sweeter since not everybody likes the stronger sense

234
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: or like I have them between medium miles to strong,

235
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,240

353
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,280

354
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: I want let people I use your products and the

355
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: wood brush. You know that. You know, even my wife

356
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: notices a different like I. You know, I used to

357
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: standard little combs that come with my different razor kids,

358
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: and I got some barber combs and things like that.

359
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: And then so I'll do that. And then all of

360
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: a sudden, like I followed up with my brush that

361
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: you that comes with you, that I purchased. I bought

362
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: it with some kids. And then I then you can

363
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: go online and get as an individual. What makes that

364
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: brush so effective? Well made with more bristles, more versus

365
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: is a very good for the hair. Uh. And also too,

366
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned brushes because I can go into

367
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: it with the with the boar bristo. It tames the

368
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: hair very nice. With our cones, we only have we

369
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: only use excuse me, wooden cones with their line. We

370
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: keep it all natural. The reason being is because uh,

371
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: plastic and metal that tends to snag and pull after

372
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: hair is on the face, so that causes a lot

373
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: of ball spot. So we always keep it uh. With

374
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: wooden combs, the wood combs or wooden they have smoother edges,

375
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: so they glided a lot smoothly through the skin and

376
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: through the hair as well as they hold natural oils

377
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: on those combs. And when you constantly comb your beard

378
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: or with the wooden comb, you're hydrating your beard with

379
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: natural oils. You wouldn't get that in metal or plastic comb. Wow.

380
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: So so I'm just here man, Well you know I'm

381
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: gonna talking to a little scientists here, man, a scientist

385
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: you just can't change the game right in this conversation

386
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: because everything you're talking about is technical. And that's why

387
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: joy the conversation. Because you're not a face of the product.
