Have you ever heard the expression, ‘little things mean a lot’? Many of us have gone through something similar to this in our lives, seeing that some of the smallest changes we make often result in the biggest return on investment. Sometimes, we might do something that we don’t even really think is going to make a difference but in the end, it is one of the best (or worst) things that we ever could’ve done. That was the experience of Gwilym Pugh.
When he was visiting his barber, something came to the attention of that professional and it changed Pugh’s life forever. The barber had found out that he was playing in a folk band and he had a decent desk job. That is when he gave him some rather interesting advice. In order to look more like a folk singer, the suggestion was that he should grow a beard. It was a small suggestion and nobody really thought it would make a big difference but it did!
Pugh thought about it for a moment and then decided to jump in with both feet. He changed his looks entirely but it also changed his attitude. As it turns out, he was doing well at his secular job but he hated having to sit up to 10 hours per day and he was not getting enough exercise. He decided to get his life on track and he quit his job to do so. He wanted to achieve a healthier lifestyle and he dropped some weight.
When you look at this picture, you will see that it really speaks for itself. The transformation was nothing short of amazing. As it turns out, that small comment by a barber made a big difference in his life. It made such a big difference that Welsh tailor Nathan Palmer noticed his Instagram account and asked him to come to be a model. Things continued to get better from that point forward.
When he had his sales job, he rarely ever left the house and he would often have injuries because he did not have any physical activity. By transforming his life radically, however, he really made a difference.
Now that he has made the changes, Pugh has a new lease on life. He is healthier and happier than he has ever been before. He also is a bit more humble than what he was previously, saying: “I think I’m lucky I got into this profession at the age that I did. I try not to get caught up in it all and my girlfriend helps a great deal with that.”
Thanks to his transformation, Pugh is the brand ambassador for David Beckham’s new male grooming brand. How cool is that?
Not only does he get to get out of his desk job, he travels and shares experiences with creative individuals around the world.
He also maintains a high level of health and now that he is a model.
His Instagram count has also exploded and his fans absolutely love what has happened to him. They are shocked at his transformation as well as his red beard and hair.
Have you ever considered growing a beard? It might just do wonders for you.
