Meet Brian Jeong. He’s a business school drop-out who saw a gap in the men’s personal care market, and founded his own business anyway. He and his co-founder created Hawthorne, a premium men's personal care brand designed to cater to specific skin types, hair types, and body chemistries. And he learned a lot along the way - even without that degree.
Brian and his co-founder delved into the industry with no prior experience, but quickly learned the ropes by engaging with over 100 different experts and enthusiasts in the field. Brian emphasizes the importance of having a learner's mindset as an entrepreneur: aspiring business owners shouldn’t wait for perfection, but start and learn along the way.
Whether you're interested in product development, or building your own entrepreneurial mindset, this episode of B-School offers valuable lessons that will resonate with anyone looking to make their mark in the business world - from how to make long lasting connections to identifying and meeting customers’ needs.

yep.
I want to take the leap. I need help getting unstuck with trying to do everything solo. What I have found in most of these success sorties, is that at some point there was money invested or given or some sort of helping hand to get the idea moving. That i's very difficult to build with people who's only mindset is collecting a 9-5 pay check.
Did you notice that men succesfully working in the cosmetic industry NEVER GO BALD?
I love FreeThink but I’ve got to say that these background music piano riffs, and the classic two camera setup presentation of the interviewee are so common and deliberately uncontroversial that it's against the very character of what FreeThink is supposed to be about: - changing the world for the better, but in a maverick kind of way. It makes this this video feel so factory produced and lifeless. Take some bolder artistic choices!
real men wash their hair with just soap! ha!
Money money money money money....geez you guys. You don't have a Freaking clue. Think about it this way; after you're dead, what are you going to be glad you did with your life? "I made a lot of money!" Really? Is that the best way you can imagine spending your life?
