Why 'The Arena'?

Why 'The Arena'?

In the arena of life, we find ourselves drawn to the rugged spirit of Theodore Roosevelt. As we embark on this journey with Free Born Beard & Supply Co., we've chosen to name our blog 'The Arena,' a tribute to Roosevelt's timeless speech, "The Man in the Arena."

Roosevelt's Arena:

In 1910, Theodore Roosevelt delivered a speech that would resonate through the ages. He spoke about the virtues of daring greatly, taking risks, and embracing challenges. In his words, "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena..."

Roosevelt's message lionized those who dared to step into the arena of life, confronting struggles head-on and striving to make a difference. These sentiments are at the heart of our brand and the values we hold dear.

Behold the Arena:

As Free Born Beard & Supply Co, we've chosen 'The Arena' as a call to action. Just as Roosevelt's words inspired generations to forge ahead with grit and determination, our blog is dedicated to inspiring you on your beard journey.

In 'The Arena' we'll delve into the world of grooming, self-improvement, and timeless values. Together let's honor the spirit of the man in the arena, embrace life's challenges and stand tall (with well-groomed beards), embodying the essence of Free Born Beard & Supply Co.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt, April 23, 1910.
