Today we are speaking with CarDarius Smoot, Founder and CEO of Natural Roots by Smoot. A natural skincare and haircare company that creates natural hair care products free of unnecessary fillers. Smoot’s philosophy is that healthy hair and skin care can be achieved without harsh chemicals and additives. We talk about his beard care routine, motivation for starting, how he built his company and utilized his network for funding. Smoot had us laughing the entire time and now holds the title of the guest with the most edited walk-out song! He ended the episode with some wise words for anyone who wants to start a business but might be afraid to do it, “Go ahead and try,… once you put your foot out there and start going forward it will open up a whole new idea of possibilities and ways of thinking. The first thing to do is try.” Walk-out song: Bounce It by Juicy J. (Instrumental version 😂) www.naturalrootsbysmoot.com csmoot@naturalrootsbysmoot.com Instagram:naturalrootsbysmoot
