Building a Skincare Brand Around Community and Care

In Episode 254, Paul sits down with Roberta Perry, President of Scrubs Body Skincare Products, to talk about what it means to build a brand through heart, creativity, and community. What began as an "accidental entrepreneur" story mixing product in jars at home and selling at local fairs evolved into a thriving skincare business rooted in experience, personalization, and care.

Roberta shares how she pivoted away from wholesale when she realized the true power of her brand wasn't just the product it was the connection. Through in-store experiences, custom scents, one-on-one relationships, and a space that feels more like a gathering place than a shop, Scrubs Body became something much bigger than skincare.

This episode is also a deeply human conversation about grief, resilience, family, and legacy. From losing her sister and business partner to continuing the brand with love and intention, Roberta's story is a reminder that sometimes the strongest companies aren't the biggest they're the most meaningful.

For entrepreneurs, this episode is a masterclass in knowing what kind of growth you actually want.
