It's amazing what a simple change in your personal care can have on your life. A man, his barber, and a beard.

A man lives a successful life with financial ease, yet his health is worsening. A chance suggestion from his barber changed his life. When this man grew a beard, he found his entire life changed. It's a story that teaches some deep lessons.

Entrepreneur Gwilym Pugh ran a successful insurance company that he founded out of his spare bedroom. The company was growing and doing quite well. Gwilym was not. Sitting at a desk all day was not healthy. Since opening the company, he had gained 280 pounds. The extra weight and sedentary lifestyle was devastating his health.

Gwilym was working 12-hour days and often didn't have time to go to the gym. Add in some old injuries, and working out was a painful chore. He didn't like being overweight, but his focus was on the business for a while. He made the decision to get back into shape.

Another part of Gwilym's life is the folk band he formed with close friends of his. To create a look that worked with the band's image, Gwilym's barber advised him to grow a beard. It was a decision that would change his life.

When he changed his facial hair, Gwilym also changed his eating habits. It was the push he needed to get healthy and be happy. He stopped sitting at his desk for 10 hours every day. In five years, he lost 90 pounds. And he found things started happening around him.

Gwilym decided to start an Instagram account. That account caught the eye of Nathan Palmer, a Welshman and a tailor. It changed Gwilym's life and career path. He signed with the London-based agency AMCK Models.

He went from being 22 years old, plagued with injuries, carrying extra weight, and hardly ever leaving the house. Today Gwilym's as healthy and as happy as he has ever been. He is doing things he never thought or dreamed of.

Gwilym is a brand ambassador for David Beckham's male grooming line of products.

He is excited to be doing what he is doing but never lets this fame get to him. He knows he's lucky to have a modeling career, especially at his age. He tries not to get worked up over the industry and his girlfriend helps keep him grounded.

He loves the chance to travel around the world and work with creative talent, especially after working so long in finance. He's thrilled to experience the world while also improving his health along the way.

According to Gwilym, it's a matter of HIIT workouts, morning mobility, and regular osteo treatments. And all of this started because Gwilym's barber suggested he grow a beard, so he could play in a folk band. His new career is taking him to places and experiences where the sky is the limit.
