Was that income, the 55 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: income possibilities of what you can generate, you know, to 56 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: take care of your family, because we all have bigger 57 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: aspirations than what your family presents to you. How did 58 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: you get into barber business and then how did you 59 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: start developing this product line? Absolutely so? Um so, I 60 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: mean I recalled being uh broken and frustrated a college 61 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: student and I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to 62 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: do with my life. UM, but I do recall, you know, 63 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: every other Friday, I take the last twenty dollars that 64 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: I had in my pocket and I'd go get it cut, 65 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: and I leave the barbershop feeling like I literally could 66 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: take on the world. UM. And I also remember my 67 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: time from my mom's barbershop. UM. You know. So so 68 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: these experiences, you know, I've witnessed firsthand how grooming had 69 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: the potential to help people feel better about themselves. UM. 70 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: And so with these unique experiences, specifically only my own barbershop, 71 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: and noticing an issue that the customers had UM in 72 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: our shop, uh, predominantly African American and Hispanic men, very dry, 73 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: frizzy damage here and bears. Um always a pretty good problem, 74 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: Solva went home, uh board with the daytime job. So 75 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: let me back up and say, UM, let me back 76 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: up and say that the first job that I had 77 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: out of college was at a global design firm. UM, 78 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: and I hated it. UM. Then I moved on to 79 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: working and finance of the market research firm, and I 80 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: hated that even more. It was something about, you know, 81 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: spending the rest of my life behind and office cubic 82 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: who felt like a gust settons UM and I felt 83 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: a little so crushing each and every day. And somehow 84 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: I knew that I was supposed to be doing something more. UM. 85 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: So when I had the opportunity opened up the barbershop 86 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: and spotted an issue UM and because I was bored 87 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: with the daytime job, M I became very passionate about 88 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: solving this issue that our customers had. And so every 89 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: UH weeknight and on the weekend, I'd be home learning 90 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: everything that I could about skinning here and and crafting up, 91 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: crafting products and bringing back to the shop UM to 92 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: hand off to the bar as in customers to get feedback. UM. 93 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: So that's how it all started. UM ended up, you know, 94 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: really creating a set of products that the customers loved. UM. 95 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: I love so much that word spread and folks were 96 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: coming from New York in Connecticut, a little New Jersey 97 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: barbershop purchasing products UM. And out of necessity, we had 98 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: launched UH dot com to make it easier for those 99 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: folks to get products. UM. And you know, six months 100 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: into launching the business in the shop and online UH 101 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: from the kitchen of my home, has did a million 102 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: dollars in sales. UM ended up quitting the daytime job, 103 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: and uh, I ended up also closed in the barbershop 104 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: because at that time I felt a little scatter brain 105 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: um in that I had full time job is making 106 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: product um every moment that I had, and I owned 107 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: the barbershops.

I can assure you I've lost a lot 189 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: of vital lounging time because you know, when you get up, 190 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: nobody gets up and just runs out. You have to 191 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: have a moment where you just Okay, let me chake 192 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: a deep breath, let me huh, let me evaluate the situation, 193 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: just like I I understand why am I moving in this direction? 194 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: And so h You might want to read the newspaper, 195 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: but when you get up, hits this news button, hits 196 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: this news button, and you're flying at that door. I 197 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: can assure you you're not a successful person. My guests 198 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: on the phone is a successful person. You know he 199 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: decided to guess what, um my mom, she's been successful. 200 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: I got a barbershop. I'm being successful. But the thing 201 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: I want to know about this line what she told 202 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: us that he loved Scotch And you know that that's 203 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: why I love I went to pe. Why you start 204 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: these names because there's always a great name, because guess what, 205 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: there's passion behind that. So so it wasn't like he 206 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: just thought of somebody beard for men or whatever. He said, this, 207 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: this is something emotional. I'm gonna attached two things there 208 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: that I feel good about. Isn't that correct? You? You 209 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: attached to things that make you feel good. So when 210 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: you see people walking out to do or buying your 211 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: products online, they are buying something that makes you feel good, absolutely, 212 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: and and and something that I that I bought into 213 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: the world. So it really feels good. Now here's the deal. 214 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: I feel a little homemade. Chemist said your homemade signce 215 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: that's here, you know, the kitchen just just making stuff. 216 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: Now did you work with somebody or you just with 217 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: a chemist or to to to start putting these these 218 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: these projects? How did that come about? Yeah? I mean initially, 219 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: initially I didn't have the budget to to work with 220 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: the chemists. Right. So, um, I did have a family 221 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: friend who you know, would make like soaps and and 222 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: motions and whatnot. She had made here or beard here products, 223 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: but she made uh so and motions and whatnot. And 224 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: so what she taught me is uh sort of the 225 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: base to making an emotion. Right. An emotion is water 226 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: oil combined um that can make a cream or a motion. 227 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: And so I took what I had learned from her 228 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: in terms of making that UM, and you know, did 229 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: a bit of research and on about here um and 230 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: skin and began to play with ingredients and create these emotions, uh, 231 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: which we're just like motion back then UM to create 232 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: Scotch border. Now let's talk about it exactly, U, because 233 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: you know, I'm African American, so I know by permes. Okay, 234 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: I've had my share of primes. You know, I've seen 235 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: my sisters have perms, burned out their hair and they 236 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: show up the next next, next month, one one another, 237 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: one another. In fact, when we burned out our daughter's 238 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: hair putting the PERM on that. It's when I when 239 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: I reason I talking too, because that's the premise basically 240 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: a softening of your hair. They call it relaxing. So 241 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: when you saw about these these emotions and all, you 242 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: are just kind of like you softening it or with 243 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: that to the extreme of a perm. But it's kind 244 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: of like relaxing so you get a smooth, fresh feel 245 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: to your hand. Is it is it? Yeah? No, No, 246 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: it's it's most It's mostly about just providing moisture right. 247 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: The reason that we have you know, dry here, specifically 248 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: folks with like curly and wavy here is is that, um, 249 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: it's very difficult for natural oils or seven to kind 250 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: of come down the curl shaft when it's curly. UM. 251 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: So it's really about just providing moisture. Right. Moisture helps 252 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: with UH to prevent dryness um and essentially helps to 253 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: make the here softer. Um. We're not, you know, we 254 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: are doing nothing to change the individuals like curl pattern. Um. 255 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: If any negative hands is it and it just softens it. 256 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: It moisturizes and provides like a nice healthy sheen and 257 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: makes the beard look healthier because you have toothing easier. 258 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: You have the moisturizing and then you have the conditioner. Okay, yeah, 259 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: what's the difference, um, So we have both in our 260 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: in our product. UM. Nothing can nothing can moisturize the 261 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: beard other than water. Water is the only thing that 262 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: can really truly moisturize a beard. UM. There are what 263 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: they call emollients um that can help give the illusion 264 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: of softness UM. But nothing can truly moisturize a beard 265 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: um other than water. But there are some conditioning agents 266 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: in in our products as well. UM, so it does 267 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: help with moisturizing and conditioning the beard. UM conditioning the 268 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: beard is. UM conditioning the beard helps with like making 269 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: the beard feel softer, more manageable, so it's easier to 270 00:14:52,360 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: comb UM. And again, moisturizing moisturization is is basically UM. 271 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: You can only get that to water, So including water 272 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: in your product, I would tell you so, I'm looking 273 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: at your website, uh and it's uh, it's really nice, 274 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: it's really clean, it's really uh you know, you know, 275 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: if you know, like I said, you can get a 276 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: gift card on it for seventy five dollars.
