S1 E5 - 5 - Tony Fehr - Victorian Grooming Co. - Birth of beard oils while teaching in China!

Welcome to the 5th episode of the Another Day Building Dreams podcast! A podcast where we explore what supporting local really means and the people behind local small businesses. We hope to shed some real life clarity on what it means when you decide to support your local businesses. We hope to give an idea of what day to day life is like as a small business owner/entrepreneur as well as debunking myths around small businesses. We will be discussing both the struggles and successes with each business venture as well as provide real world tips to those looking to start their very own venture.  Today we have Tony Fehr. Sole business owner and operator of Victorian Grooming Co. A local Edmonton based business specializing in handcrafted all-natural beard grooming and and shave products. His products were developed from a personal need as Tony started growing his own beard for 3 years while teaching English in Beijing and Qingdao, China. Finding a very sparse selection in that part of the world Tony went on a venture of developing products that he could use for himself. After his return to Canada he then decided it was time to take his products to the next step. What we discuss: - Tony's career teaching English in China - Importance of creating - Life style of business owners - Perception of business owners - Oils and compounds used for beards - Joys of positive customer feedback! - Business during covid-19 pandemic  - and much more!!
