Ari S. Goldberg is a serial entrepreneur who is constantly innovating. With his strong background in marketing, strategy, and business development, he is the founder and chairman of investment firm RNMKR, founder of StyleCaster and founder of his newest project, Barber Surgeons Guild. I asked him about his inspiration for BSG and what guides his own personal grooming.

How did you first become interested in starting Barber Surgeons Guild?

I have always been interested in ways to maintain and improve my style, and recently in health and wellness. Beauty was one of the biggest categories for us at StyleCaster and when I saw Dollar Shave Club get acquired for $1 billion I started researching the category.

When I met Dr. Justin Rome, we had a shared vision to create an arsenal of products and services that we wanted for ourselves, ones that we believed our friends and family deserved. Products and services that were the highest quality and backed by medical research.
