Creativity is not born from fear - Sam Garst, Founder and CEO at NOOD.COM

Sam is the founder of Nood.com and is on a mission to help people feel more comfortable in their skin by creating better hair removal experience with the power of light. Within 2 years of founding Nood, Sam led the team to earning $60M TTM in revenue! Sam tells me about his journey as an entrepreneur from spending several years barely earning a living but instead earning a fortune of experience, to launching Nood.com. Sam is generous with his experience share from how he got the idea, to product development and marketing. Such an inspirational and real story of the ups and downs of entrepreneurship and sticking to creativity and adventure - some of the basic attributes of being human. Enjoy Sam!
