A junior ROTC program in high school introduced Nick to the Naval Academy's different services, and received lots of encouragement to attend. This led him to become a Marine, while also wanting to be in intelligence. The combat death of a close friend created a desire to give back to Vets and their families. His friend had a big beard when killed - as many of the special ops people do - so to honor him Nick started developing products to counter the itching and irritating part of having facial hair. As more people discovered his great product, sales grew. Part of the proceeds go to Vet families and to help heal PTSD.

After a successful round table on women Veterans topics, I was excited to do another one. I decided to curate a round table of Veteran entrepreneurs, but had a couple guests back out and was forced to postpone. Fortunately, one of my invited guests was still available and interested in doing a one-on-one interview. Nick Karnaze is a Marine Veteran having served as an officer with the Marine Raiders. After getting out the military, he started a business in international development. The business did not succeed as hoped. Then, after growing a beard in honor of a fallen friend, Nick was inspired to start his current business, Stubble & 'Stache. Nick and I discuss the journey of entrepreneurship, his process for troubleshooting, his routines, and how he handles productivity.

We talked to Sean Doolittle, Washington Nationals pitcher and USMC Spec Op veteran Nick Karnaze about a lot of things. Do pitchers hit batters on purpose? The relative that bombed Japan after Pearl Harbor, Metallica, Sean's hilarious celebrity twin and why you should get your beard hooked up with Stubble and Stache.com.  

Marine Corps veteran Nick Karnaze knows an awful lot about warfare, with multiple deployments as a MARSOC Officer. But he also knows about change, as he know runs a male skin care business (www.stubbleandstache.com). Who is the “Beard Oil Baron”? Listen in and find out!

After returning from Afghanistan, Nick Karnaze, Marine Special Operations Command, Veteran, learned that his MARSOC teammate was KIA. So he grew out his beard for the funeral. And then grew a company dedicated to his buddy and bad ass beards. Phil Briggs spoke with Nick about Spec Ops, Breaking Bad and the building of Stubble & Stache.com
