From Product Idea to Viral Success: The Crown Quality Products Story
In this episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, Jon LaClare sits down with Robert Watson, founder of Crown Quality Products, to share the story behind one of the most unique premium hair care brands in the market.
Robert explains how his journey began with a simple but powerful product idea: a better hairbrush designed to solve a real grooming problem. After struggling to manufacture the product in America, he traveled to China, faced repeated rejection, and eventually found a supplier willing to take a chance on his vision. That persistence helped launch Crown Quality Products and turn a once-unusual curved brush design into a premium product trusted by loyal customers, celebrities, and barbers alike.
The conversation dives into Robert’s commitment to making every product unique, useful, and high-quality. From curved wave brushes and handleless Caesar brushes to beard durags, pomades, duster bags, and new product launches, Robert shares how customer feedback has shaped many of the brand’s most successful ideas.
Jon and Robert also discuss the power of beta testing, building an engaged email list, creating products that naturally inspire word-of-mouth, and why viral marketing often starts with a product that is truly different. Robert also shares valuable lessons on decisiveness, trusting your intuition, bringing the right people into your business, and even “fasting from complaining” as a mindset shift for personal and entrepreneurial growth.
