It's Time to Tell You What’s Going On With Me

[@BerzinskyRules]

Spoken like a true leader. I have been inspired by you even before we met face to face in Austin, a few years ago already. The message of Beardbrand is something that continues to ressonate with me and helps to keep me focused as I continue to grow even in my 60s. Thanks Eric.

[@pdirestajr]

I’m almost 45 and just started growing my first beard 5 months ago! Love your backlog of content- learned a ton and inspired me to keep growing. Your products were also the first I purchased. The quality is great! Good luck evolving the brand. 💪

[@EricBandholz]

Hell ya! Welcome to the club. Never too late to grow your first beard. We have some guys who didn't grow until retirement.

[@markleone6700]

What I appreciate most about you, Eric, is your poise. Even when you are "struggling" with business challenges or "venting" about a lawsuit (wtf), you talk about these things with vulnerability, humility, class, and focus. It's impressive and refreshing. Beardbrand has been integral in my present level of self-confidence, and the content literally spawned my son's career as a barber, as you know, so I will be over here fanboying until the very end, which I hope never comes in my lifetime. Stay the course, Brother.

[@joes4987]

Your message, passion, and experience you provide in your products is unmatched. Been growing my beard for the first time at the age of 39, its a fun journey learning what each product does and trial/error. Ive gotten a little too comfortable and lazy with my grooming during the last couple of year's, but beardbrand has gotten me back into taking pride in my self care again. Thank you eric, I'm just beginning to use all of your products at the moment, truly enjoying the journey.

[@Mikeybooks]

Ive been here since 2019, and you were my entry into the beard world. Since then i apply all the tools you and the guys have shared over the years, and ive found what works for me and a confidence in that. Im always here and will stand behind you and your company :) 🤜 🤛 Yall got this

[@benhall3888]

I want you to know I love your videos. They’re what got me to grow a beard. I’m a grown man, but I never really asked my dad any advice because I never felt comfortable enough to ask him, so I found yall. And it’s been a ton of fun to have a channel to watch where I can find grooming tips and tricks for men and I don’t have to feel weird talking to people about questions I have.

[@bobbandholz3811]

Very proud of my son and his family. It takes a strong person to admit to any issues in business or life, and also to figure out how to make improvements. Although I am in my 70's I "Keep on Growing."

Just started growing my first beard at 68 years old. One month in. Everything looks good but I’m challenged in the sideburn area. We will see. Started getting your Beardbrand product and I really like it. Great product and variety with the different scents. Your content is awesome also. I’m going back and reviewing you and Berzinsky, great stuff. Also like your philosophy on life, we might be brothers. Who’s your momma! Anyway keep up the fight.

[@takashi6444]

Just offering a perspective from someone who used to watch a lot more a few years back, I used to love the weekly livestreams with Jack/Sylvester with the style consultations and general chit chat etc. I think having people who we can regularly connect with to support the rest of the channel would help. Just my two cents :)

[@EricBandholz]

Ya, those were great. Miss having Jack on the team. Appreciate the suggestion.

[@Mike-y1q3v]

​@EricBandholz it to bad how you did Jack and Mahesh they carried you... where the video of your apologies to jack and Mahesh I still have the video of you putting them down and then you ax them from channel due to their popularity beard brand fell off it's over

@@Mike-y1q3v Share that video with me. I have no recollection of putting those two down. And Mahesh is still creating content for us.

[@TrevorWeitz]

Great video, good to hear what's been going on. Sorry about the struggles that sucks. I know the products have had some ups and downs over the recent years but definitely getting back to where they have been. I've missed having the white line at Target but waiting a couple days to get it from Amazon is not a big deal for me at least. This is still the only product line I buy, I've tried some others but come back to Beardbrand and recommend it to others. I love the fragrances and the ingredients. Super stoked to hear your keeping on!

[@EricBandholz]

Ya, losing Target really has been a big bummer. They basically stopped replying to us and left over 6 figures of invoices unpaid. They couldn't have picked a worse year to drop us. Oh well, we'll keep on grinding. Excited for what's in store. I think you'll love the new White Line fragrance.

[@Doma_lp]

Few weeks ago a friend asked me what inspired me to rock a long beard and mustache for years now. I just showed him like 9 years old video of Eric grooming his beard. You gave me self confidence I needed. Thanks for everything! And when are the products gonna be available here in Germany?

[@jeremytrojcak2081]

Keep up the great work bro! Love your products and the conscientious, sincere approach you have to your products and go to market strategies. Your products are a must-have for men who understand they don’t want to inflict themselves on others - rather, a well-groomed beard is like a gentleman’s secret handshake-a silent nod that says, ‘I’ve got my act together, and I’m ready to conquer the day!’ Thank you for your tireless support!

Hey Eric, thanks for the candid transparency and that the issues Beardbrand is facing are not new to a lot of businesses. I’ll admit I got lazy watching these videos without leaving a comment or even a thumbs up. I am a big fan of the beard trims and haircut style changes done for the “ordinary” guy who may not no what he wants. I’ve learned how to care for my beard and have been with Beardbrand for nearly 4 years and have no plans otherwise. Good luck Eric!

Always appreciate your transparency and genuineness! While you are feeling justly frustrated with the challenges you and the team have faced, I think - speaking for myself, at least - you have a great supportive and loyal customer and fan base for very good reasons. Your products and content have always been stellar, your core values are very admirable and inspiring, and I so very much appreciate everything you do!

[@Bruce-r3h]

Ive been watching since the covid years. Tried growing a covid beard, following your advice with mixed results. I enjoyed the tips, but mainly stayed on for reveals, before and after vids. You have a great concept with creating content, and i look forward to future vidz. Keep on growing my friend, and a HUGE thanks!!

[@dannyhartley8198]

I want to say it is so great to see you again Eric! I love ALL the content Beardbrand puts out and I look forward to it! I do miss the barbershop videos that would come out alot in Saturdays cause they remind me of getting haircuts with me Dad as a kid!! I appreciate all of you!! ❤❤

[@EricBandholz]

Ya, we were testing "quality vs quantity" with episodes that took far more resources to produce, but we thought was higher quality. However, it seems they might not be resonating, and going with more frequent videos with less production might be the answer. Time will tell. We've got a few videos lined up.

[@LarryThomasPhD]

Great video Eric. I always appreciate your humility, honesty and hospitality. I have enjoyed being in a couple of your videos and truly have depended on the barbers to develop my beard style over the years. I also do appreciate you sharing your struggles and successes with Beardbrand. You have great patience and resolve to work through the various difficulty over the past years. At the end of the day, you do have a great product, you have a sound core of helping men love themselves and dedicate themselves to self improvement. I have found your products to be top notch and have found myself continuously returning to their use. I am a dedicated Old Money user but have loved the specialty scents as well. Bold Fortune has worked its' way into my scent profile more recently. The alliance of men helping other men keeps me peeking in to check up on my bearded brothers. Chin up and keep on growing Eric. Hope to see you online more when you think you have something that motivates you to share.

[@Tyleron1]

I will probably watch forever. Personally I prefer the older style small grooming tips videos. But I also like just you talking about things.

[@EricBandholz]

There's something odd about creating grooming videos where it seems like you're always growing or cutting your hair/beard for a video; rather than for something you want to do. Maybe it's a little of both, but there is something freeing about just being able to get the haircut and beard style you want, rather than one that you think will make good content. Maybe there's something in the middle where I can produce content for what I'm doing; even if it's not a big move.

[@marthaterry4132]

I enjoy hearing your thoughts and ideas. You sound like a person I would like. to meet, well thought out, well spoken and someone who cares. Yes, I do like your content and seeing men want to look and do better.

Our emergency vehicles graphics business has had supply delivery issues also for the past three years. My husband has his own business doing design, manufacturing, and installation of vinyl graphics and hand lettered gold leaf on emergency services vehicles in the Triad area of NC. Delay of supplies has been a serious issue for everyone in the lettering graphics business as well as a steep cost increase for all supplies. We're extremely thankful for understanding customers who are patient and wait for us to be able to serve them. Your business has amazing customers too. Keep moving forward.

[@Mike-y1q3v]

Meat rider 🍖 😂

[@christiansmith2104]

Love the channel. One KZbin series that could really resonate with your audience is to do a ‘challenge’ series of finding ways to style patchier facial hair. Patchiness going beyond facial hair profiles that are thick and uniform in nature but doesn’t grow in full beneath the underlip. Talking patchiness that might showcase sparsity around the cheeks, wispier density, etc. Many gentlemen hear guys with (let’s be honest) full beards talking about their patches that 90% of men would never consider a patch. This could appeal to a very wide audience, including myself!

[@markyeeee]

In this world and in the business climate we have to be able to switch directions in a moment to be even more competitive. That's what makes for a strong business. In doing so, I am so happy you have found that you want to help inspire guys to live to their potential. Often times it is less about who we are as individuals and more who we are together. I salute you, and hope all the best as you reach out with love like only you could give. Tom

So pleased to see this video and hear where you are at and that you are bouncing back and fighting on against what a lot of people seem to have gone through the last few years business-wise (plus a crazy lawsuit). It’s been a while for whatever reason since a beardbrand video has appeared on my KZbin. Prob partly as I watch less atm. Being a uk viewer I was unable to engage with a lot of the product clips as it’s harder to get hold of here but the grooming and barbering clips have always been amazing. Keep on keeping on dude

You know it's one thing to keep stepping when it's easy but when life is uncertain and the odds seem to be against you how do you handle that??

I have not found a better companies products, at any price, that is better than Beardbrand. I think the draw of many others are the stories, the artwork, the je ne sais quoi of manliness. Beardbrand doesn’t have this. That being said, the products are top notch and the best bang for the buck out there. I hope you can continue with your dreams.

[@Rimfire208]

I have always found BB to be about the people after the product. And that surprised me. I found it different than what I was used to. What causes someone to care about the people more than the profit? (Not withstanding the need to stay in business of course). I don’t know. Eric tell us ‘The why’ BB is different that way. Most companies care about the customer during the transaction phase and then you’re just data. Why is it different here? Stay vulnerable, be courageous and be authentic.

[@EricBandholz]

Ya, I started this channel as a way for me to personally connect with other guys who were going through similar things. I use to be a financial advisor and there was a lot of pressure to look and dress a certain way. Over time, beards have certainly become more acceptable in environments where they were not once. We also do a lot of things that cost us money to try to help our customers, like include a free Book of Reminders in with orders. They do nothing to drive sales or get product awareness. At the end of the day, I want to have a business that helps customers, has a great team, and makes enough to put a roof over my head and food on my table. I'm not driven to buy material things; instead I seek freedom and independence. So if my costs are low, that's not as difficult to hit. Regardless, it's been a passion of mine for over a decade and something I want to continue to build and improve. It's been a lot of fun with many up's and down's.

I recognize that you are ultimately a grooming company that sells beard and hair products, but you should consider expanding your horizons.

[@SP-mh9qw]

​@EricBandholz To piggyback on the another post, maybe you should delve into the clean shave market. Although it may not be a good idea in our current market, perhaps you can start small with a shave soap with one of your signature scents. I recognize you want to stay true to the "beard" beginnings, but business is business. Every person cannot grow a beard for a number of reasons(personal and professional). If this is truly a " feel good about what you see in the mirror" concept, you should market to everyone(even the beard challenged). As you have stated, regardless of what you do someone will have a gripe. However, as a " male grooming company" , I think you can expand to market to our beard challenged brothers. Good luck.👍

To my video from years ago? Or which specific video?

First I've heard of the lawsuit. Didn't see the video about it. All I can say is wow! 😲🤯 Competitor hi-jinx, maybe?

Na, it's common in the ecommerce space. We were sued along with 50 other ecommerce businesses all at the same time by the same person.
