For this episode, we spoke to Calvin Quallis, founder and CEO of Scotch Porter. As a child, Calvin forged a connection with the beauty industry, growing up immersed in his mother’s beauty parlor and barbershop. Later in his adult life, he chose to return to his roots and open his own barbershop after leaving behind his corporate career. He then launched Scotch Porter in 2015, and the brand has been at the forefront of the men’s grooming industry since. We spent this episode chatting about what it’s been like building the business and the incredible success he’s experienced.  Let us know your thoughts on the episode!
