Frederick Benjamin Founder Michael James on Selling From The Trunk of His Car to Innovating The Men’s Grooming Space

Welcome to episode 77 of Optimal Health For Busy Entrepreneurs.

We have Michael James, founder of Frederick Benjamin Grooming, stopping by for a fascinating discussion on creating a product from nothing and then getting it out to the market, and then adding more products while staying sane and emotionally stable.

For years, Michael James watched Black men lose hope in the grooming department. They felt powerless fighting their dry scalps, unsightly razor bumps, and held on to the belief that harmful, ineffective chemicals were their only option. So, Michael set out to find a better way. Inspired by his grandfather’s legacy—the original Frederick Benjamin —Michael developed a regimen of products to help every man sculpt his best self, no matter his style. Man or woman, this is a great conversation that represents the essence of entrepreneurship.
