Meet Chad Beck

Today we’re excited to be connecting with Chad Beck again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.

Chad, we are so thrilled to be connecting again and can’t wait to hear about all the amazing things you have been up to. Before we jump into all of that, some of our readers might have missed our prior interview, so can you take a moment to reintroduce yourself?
Chad and Cady Beck launched Beck & Co. Beard Gear in 2019, driven by a passion for high-quality grooming products and a commitment to serving their bearded community. What began as a local farmers market staple evolved into a thriving online business, and by the end of 2023, they transitioned their focus to e-commerce and select retail partnerships in two local stores. While continuing to provide top-tier products for longtime customers and new beard enthusiasts alike,
Chad expanded his reach in April 2024 by launching a podcast – The Real Jesus Experience.
Now with over 30 episodes available across multiple platforms, the faith they relied on when launching Beck & Co. is put on full display as Chad interviews believers about their walk with Jesus.

Alright, so our main goal today is to give our audience an update on what you have been up to since our last conversation. We’d love to hear how things are going and what you are most looking forward to or excited about these days.
Absolutely! It’s been a really exciting time for us since we last connected, and we’ve been working hard to keep growing and evolving Beck & Co. Beard Gear in ways that truly benefit our customers.

One of the things we heard over and over from our market customers was how much they loved our loyalty program—so we knew we had to bring that experience online. We’re thrilled to say that we’ve officially added a loyalty rewards program to our website! Now, our longtime supporters and new customers alike can continue to earn and redeem rewards, just like they did at the market.

Another big addition is something people have been asking about for a while—subscriptions! We know that keeping a well-groomed beard is all about consistency, so we made it easy for customers to set up a subscription for their favorite products. Whether it’s beard oil, balm, or wash, they can now get what they need on a recurring basis without having to reorder every time.

Beyond that, we’ve really enjoyed watching our online presence grow, and it’s been great seeing our products reach more people through our two local retail partners. And, of course, on a more personal note, the podcast has been an incredible journey. Since launching in April 2024, we’ve already hit 30+ episodes, and it’s been such a rewarding way to connect with people, as faith has always been a pillar of our journey.

It’s all about keeping that momentum going, staying connected with our amazing community, and continuing to build something we’re truly proud of. We’re excited for what’s ahead and grateful for all the support that has brought us here!

Alright, so let’s do something a bit more fast-paced and lighthearted. We call this our lightning round and we’ll ask you a few quick questions.

What do you want people to remember about you and your brand? What are some of things that you feel are most important, unique, special, etc?
I hope that everyone who ever interacts with Beck & Co. Beard Gear feels like they were treated exceptionally well. We try to be very responsive whenever our customers reach out to us for advice, or whatever it may be.
We also try to make it a personal experience – each order gets a hand-written note from my wife or I letting them know we genuinely appreciate them investing in our company.
From the packaging, to the notes, to the product itself, we want every bit of it to be a pleasure for the person receiving it.
