Jesse Wilkes of The Pirates Code Beard Oils

Jesse Wilkes is the owner of The Pirates Code Beard Oils and he wants to help you take care of the forest on your face.

Pirates Code is a new business and we talk about what the startup process has been like for Jesse in his first six months hand mixing his products.  And we get into his motivations for starting the company and how he's giving back to both the world and the pirate community with it. 

And I ask some very Seinfeldian "What's the deal with beards" type stuff. :)

Corey Lefkowitz of Age of Discovery Productions

 

Corey Lefkowitz is the owner and captain of Age of Discovery Productions and Pirates of the Silver Realm.  He's built a great business with his crew at pirate festivals, educating the public on life as a pirate.  

His newest ventures include birds of the "polly want a cracker" sort and expanding the types of venues he's working in.  This is a really fun talk that goes from how to expand a business to how to load a trailer correctly to get over the Sierra mountains without overheating.
