This one I've been holding back for a while, but I was lucky to sit down and chat with Eric Bandholz from Beardbrand.

Aside from Eric's really poor jokes (watch until the end!) we spoke openly about topics such as parenting, business success, finding confidence and infertility.

With Eric's channel having over 1 million subscribers, we really stepped 'behind the reel' in this interview...

We spoke about:

- How growing a beard helped him live his truth, and gain confidence.

- The struggles he and his wife faced trying to become parents.

- How he balances business with family, and the challenges he faces.

- The real reason why he started Beardbrand.

- The lessons he's learnt from failure

- What advice he would give to somebody wanting to become a YouTuber today...

I hope this conversation helps you as much as it helped me, and I want to once again thank Eric for his time and honesty. The main purpose behind this series is to show influencers in a light we might not see them from what they share on social media. Social media is very much a highlight reel, and we often forget these are humans behind these profiles.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this interview, get involved in the comments below.
