This one got my attention haha. I love my beard, and so does my wife @freedomtowrite. I grow it first because I can. God set me apart as a man with the ability, so I do(not always haha but for 5 years now). Second, my wife loves it...and that really works out. Also, I am not in a mold. I don't fit what might be a societal norm of a successful business man. It often falls into the category of being able to be myself all the time...i can't just not have it for a day and then quickly get it back. And last, it helps with my brand. I am The Yeti. Be well my friend!
