A conversation with Jason "SCHNEIDY" Schneidman_The MensGroomer Mar 20, 2025

Show notes

Our guest this week is a celebrity hair stylist from Venice Beach. His Hollywood clientele is impressive....Jonah Hill,

Bruno Mars, Rob Lowe, James Corden, and Hugh Jackman to name a few! He has been featured on KTLA, NBC, CBS, and Men's Health! His barber shop is the ideal place to hang on a Saturday to work, drink coffee, and leave a happier and more handsome man! But there is much more to his story than making ridiculously good looking people look better. At 30 years old he hit rock bottom. He was a drug addict, homeless, and spent about 4 years in and out of recovery. It wasn't until he gave a homeless alcoholic person a haircut, that he found a purpose. That purpose is HELPING OTHERS. He found sobriety, success, and fame. He now uses his notoriety to help others and it is his mission to help people get off the streets through his non profit 501C3 foundation. From celebs to homeless, we welcome the ever inspiring THE MENSGROOMER Jason "THE MANE MASTER" Schneidman!!!!

A conversation with Burton "BUZZY" Kerbox Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

This week's guest is an icon in our Sport Of Surfing. At 17, he won the Smirnoff Amateur title at Sunset Beach, HI, which got him in the Pro Event. He made it into the semi-finals that were held at 25 foot Waimea!! He was ranked in the Top 10 of the ASP in 1977-78'-80'! He won major events like the World Cup at Sunset, and the Surfabout in Australia. His love for the ocean and big waves is what made him into a fierce WATERAN. He competes in the Molokai Paddle event, Catalina Classic Race, and has even paddled the English Channel with his good buddy Laird Hamilton. In the early 90's, Buzzy, Laird and Dave Kalama and a few close friends, were on the hunt to ride the biggest waves possible. Which resulted in the pioneering TOW-IN SURFING! But all his accolades didn't stop in the Ocean. He was noticed by a famous photographer, Bruce Weber. This changed his life forever. Buzzy's looks were James Bond-like Double Agent and was not only living life on the edge in the water, but soon became a household face in men's fashion magazines for decades. He landed a life-long modeling career with Ralph Lauren. We welcome the first ever male surfer supermodel, an incredible WATERMAN, and author of his new book based on his life stories, "MAKING WAVES", Burton "BUZZY" Kerbox!!

A conversation with Todd "THE WACKER" Miller Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

Our guest this week is a Newport Beach 54th Street shredder and former top 44 surfer. When he competed on the tour, his long time sponsor Quiksilver offered him the Team manager and Sales & Marketing position. He was successful for years managing all athletes, budgets and retailer events. In 2002, he went on to start his own brand "Factor 54" which was on the the way to success until the 2008 Recession hit. For the last decade, he has been killing it by supplying all the major brands with all their promotional/marketing product needs. He is currently with Action Sports Canopies. He is the ultimate SURF DAD, and amazing human, and we're stoked to sit down with our good buddy, Todd "THE WACKER" Miller!!!

A conversation with Damien "DOOMA" Fahrenfort Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

Damien Fahrenfort, aka “Dooma,” is a ripping South African transplant and has a great and interesting story with how he’s maneuvered his way from aspiring pro surfer to an entrepreneurial business man.

Before @doomasrumors became an entrepreneur and agent to Jordy Smith and Mikey February, he was disrupting the surf industry with his TMZ-style journalism. Most of the stories were gossip and tongue-in-cheek good fun, but sometimes Dooma’s reports triggered certain surf industry leaders and pro surfers!
