About the speaker
From a broken back to a leading beard care brand.
In 2011, rehabilitation led John to study sports massage therapy. He started making massage oils, then hair oil, then beard oil.
Since then, Braw Beard has gained fans worldwide whilst supporting athletes, musicians and personalities. It's been a rollercoaster story so far, he experienced the lowest point, then one of the highest points of his life within 24hrs.
In this talk, John will take us through the Braw Beard journey so far. He will explain why maintaining tradition has always been at the core of his brand.
