Size isn't an obstacle - it's a challenge

Team GIBS welcomes Andre P. Cobb to the family!

"Whatever you’re going through you’ll have to forget about it if you’re around me. I want you to have a good experience in my presence. Life is too short to let those heavy burdens ruin days at a time."

Andre Cobb will tell you, not many folks make it out of Gary Indiana. And growing up there as a little person wasn’t just hard. It was an obstacle course. But what Dre the Giant lacked in stature, he made up for in swagger. Then his mom handed him some Wahl clippers at 11. Dre made it outta Gary, and onto the platform for GIBS Grooming. You have to hear his story.

Describe yourself in five: Shortest Giant In The World.

How’d you land Team GIBS? I was at ABS Chicago this year; I was just doing me literally. But I was spending most of my time around the Gibs booth just kicking it. At one point everyone at the booth was busy cutting or with a customer, so I walked over and helped a woman who was new to the brand. A couple of days later I got a unusual call from Danny Amorim. He was over excited and I was confused. The rest is history.

What are you known for? Clean work, sharp lines and taking my time. Giving the client their full time while in the chair. I’m going to be precise.

What should we know about you? I’m genuine. Loyal and supportive from the start. Funny and love to bring people energy up. Whatever you’re going through you’ll have to forget about it if you’re around me. Because I want you to have a good experience in my presence. Life is too short to let those heavy burdens ruin days at a time.

Favorite GIBS products? Colorado Kid and Alpha Male Beard, Hair and tattoo Oils for all my bearded clients. Con Man for the sponge look. Black Kodiak for my low and wave cut clients. Rico Bandito for my up dos and comb over clients.

What makes a great barber or stylist? Professionalism, Creativity, Customer Service, Education and Self respect.

What would you say to those coming up in the industry? Stay in school until you graduate; if you start cosmetology school and stop attending to start a life you’ll never find the time to finish your education. Even if you do it’s going to be more challenging then it would’ve been if you just stayed the course.

You have become a professional just like any doctor, dentist, mortician, anybody that went to college to become a professional. You are one too. I’ve owned my own shop, Well Groomed Barbershop, for seven years now.

What’s the secret to keeping a beard top notch? Usually a guy who has a beard wants to feel mature and masculine. So the groomer must listen to how the client wants to look, not how he should look. Product knowledge is everything, for hair texture and skin treatment as well. Good skin equals healthy hair. Remember that.

What do you wish guys knew about grooming? Grooming is head to toe. You must look good and feel good on the inside first. The groomer can lay you completely out with a haircut and all, but if you don’t feel good about yourself it means nothing. Cleansing from the inside matters. That’s why it’s good to relax your client before every service. Then that’s when you start the process of grooming, smelling good and feeling great.

If you could cut any hair or beard who’s would it be? My dad’s. He never had the chance to see me as a professional barber. He died in 2007.

What else should we know about the shortest giant in the world? I’m the youngest of 12 kids, and my single mom’s only kid. I became tough early, learning how to defend myself by fighting and jiving on kids that thought I was an easy target. Don’t tell me what I can’t do.

If I’m not cutting hair, educating or studying some new products. I enjoy skating, being around friends, meditating, networking, being around my son and talking to my mother. I thank God (Yahweh) for where my life is headed and look forward to continue changing lives while I live in my passion and continue my purpose.

When your life savings are tied up in cryptocurrency, you might expect a few bumps along the way. But nothing could have prepared me for the emotional rollercoaster of losing access to my $200,000 Bitcoin wallet. After enduring a painful breakup, I found myself in a whirlwind of emotions, and in a moment of vulnerability, I decided to change my wallet password to something that seemed clever and meaningful in the heat of the moment. Unfortunately, that moment of inspiration faded quickly, and I completely forgot my new password.
The sinking feeling of panic set in as I realized I was locked out of my own funds. My heart raced, and my mind spiraled into chaos as I imagined how my hasty decision had cost me everything I had worked tirelessly to build.

Finally, the moment I had been praying for arrived. I received the call confirming that they had successfully cracked my password and restored access to my wallet. The overwhelming relief I felt was indescribable; it was as if a massive weight had been lifted from my shoulders. All the stress and sleepless nights melted away in an instant, and I was finally able to breathe again.
This experience taught me a crucial lesson about approaching both love and finances with a level head.

In Stockholm, I found myself immersed in the dynamic world of cryptocurrency after attending a local networking event. The energy in the room was palpable, filled with enthusiasts and experts discussing blockchain technology and the potential for financial independence. Captivated by the conversations, I decided to take a leap and invest 9,000 SEK in Cardanol, a cryptocurrency I had been researching for some time. To my surprise, my investment quickly gained momentum, skyrocketing to an impressive 200,000 SEK within just a few months. It was exhilarating to watch my investment grow, and I felt a mix of excitement and disbelief. Cardanol’s innovative approach and promising technology had captured the attention of investors worldwide, and I was thrilled to be a part of that journey. However, the euphoria was short-lived. After a heated disagreement with another investor at a meetup, tensions escalated. This individual, feeling wronged, took the drastic step of locking me out of my email account. The loss was devastating—not only was I cut off from my primary communication channel, but I also lost access to crucial accounts tied to my investments. Panic set in as I realized the implications of being locked out of my email, especially with such a significant amount of money at stake. In those anxious moments, I turned to my network for support.

Hello everyone, I want to share my story about losing $32,000 to a forex trading scam while living in Florida. This serves as a cautionary tale, and I hope it can help others avoid similar pitfalls. A few years back, I became intrigued by forex trading. It seemed thrilling and full of promise. I consumed articles, watched countless videos, and engaged in online forums where traders showcased their successes. I thought this could be my chance to grow my savings and achieve financial freedom. Unfortunately, things took a drastic turn when I encountered a broker that seemed credible. The broker’s website was polished and professional, complete with testimonials and eye-catching marketing. They guaranteed high returns with little risk, and I was captivated by the prospect of quick profits. I ended up investing $32,000, believing I could turn that into a much larger amount. Sadly, the initial gains I experienced turned out to be nothing more than a lure. When I attempted to withdraw my funds, I was bombarded with excuses and overly complicated processes. Eventually, my account was locked, leaving me unable to access my money. Feeling defeated and desperate, I started looking for ways to recover my losses. That’s when I discovered Rapid Digital Recovery. A friend in finance had highly recommended them, so I decided to reach out, rapiddigitalreco ve ry @ exe cs.com. From the very first conversation, I felt a wave of relief. Their team was knowledgeable, understanding, and reassured me that they could assist in this challenging situation. The recovery process took only three weeks, which exceeded my expectations. They walked me through every step, from collecting evidence to filing the necessary claims. Their expertise was clear, and I felt supported throughout. In the end, I managed to recover 65% of my losses, which was a significant relief after such a stressful experience.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and I hope it helps someone out there.

Like many others, I fell prey to a scam that stripped me of my investments. Initially, I felt a wave of disbelief and shame. How could I have been so careless? The regret was suffocating, and for a while, I considered giving up on my crypto journey altogether. Yet, deep down, I knew that quitting was not an option. I realized that I needed to take action rather than wallow in despair.While searching for potential recovery options, I encountered numerous offers that seemed too good to be true. Unfortunately, many so-called “experts” were merely another layer of deception, ready to exploit my vulnerability further.

The journey was not easy; there were moments of frustration and doubt. However, staying focused on my goal and trusting the process made all the difference. With the right support, I was able to recover a significant portion of my lost funds, which reignited my faith in the crypto space. To all scam victims out there, remember that recovery is possible.
