Does it ever feel like everyone else is killing it and you’re the only one who is experiencing hard times in business?

 

In this world of entrepreneurship it is common and popular for people to talk about their wins but very few people are willing to talk about the struggles.

 

That’s why I wanted to have Eric Bandholz from Beardbrand on the show. He has been incredibly honest about his story of starting the company in 2012 with a few thousand dollars and growing the brand to almost 8 figures before disaster struck in 2023.

 

Last year was rough for many e-commerce entrepreneurs and I wanted to bring Eric on as an example of what it looks like to keep pushing and build a business that you actually love.

 

Instead of giving up and walking away, this is the story of how he pushed through and kept going.
