Eric Bandholz was mocked, ridiculed, and told he wasn't allowed to grow facial hair while working as a financial advisor for Merrill Lynch. So, he quit his job and started a beard business.

In 2012, Beardbrand was born, and the company has been providing educational and inspirational content to help men 'Keep on Growing' ever since. Their grooming products for beard, hair, and skin, support a growing online community of 1.8M+ YouTube subscribers.

I wanted to talk to Eric because he has built a business dedicated to serving men. So, who better to talk to about becoming a better man!

In this episode, we discuss the difficulty of entrepreneurship as a dad, how your relationship with your wife evolves post-kids, and how to intentionally build a life that you love.
