Today,  I’m going to give you something a little different. Because you’re not going to hear from a hairdresser or barber, but from a business entrepreneur who has created one of the fastest growing brands in the beauty industry, Danny Gray of War Paint for Men. He’s going to take us right back to why being bullied for his appearance as young kid led him to creating and designing War Paint for Men; a make-up brand specifically for the male audience.

I get so many of my influences from outside of the hair industry. So by bringing more future guests onto the HTCI podcast that are away from the world of hair, I’m keen for you to learn of their first-hand experiences from within their own industry sector. Thats what we are to get in this conversation with Danny today, as he will be sharing some seriously cool stuff that will translate perfectly to all of you that are looking for an entrepreneurial journey – no matter where or what that is.

I cannot wait to get behind the story of Danny with you all. How did he create a global brand success with War Paint for Men? Let’s find out!

Today’s Guest

Danny Gray designed WAR PAINT specifically for the male audience with the main aim for him, to change the thinking about men’s makeup. As a young kid Danny was bullied because of his appearance which really affected him. The moment those bullies came up to him, changed his life forever. He started obsessing about the way he looked, so much so, that he now has a form of body dysmorphia. When he was 15 years old and he started getting spots as most people do, so he went to his sister and used her concealer, and it changed his life forever.

He couldn’t believe the power of products and what they can do. But he couldn’t find a brand that related to him or that he felt he could shop with confidence, so he created one.
