They say mixing friendships and business can be a winning formula or a recipe for disaster. Steven & Carl have definitely proven the former. Both Las Vegas Natives, Steven & Carl have been friends since their first encounter at a Capital Leadership League in High School.
In early 2020, when Covid-19 struck, lifelong friends Steven Jackson and Carl Littles faced a common entrepreneurial challenge: how to sustain their business, the Original Barber School, during the pandemic.
Their solution? Transform their store's apparel line, initially created as an afterthought for barber shop visitors, into an independent brand by launching OBS—Original Brand Style—just a day later.
OBS emerged from adversity, embodying a community's resilience and determination to find inspiration amid challenges.
At its core, OBS stands for spreading positivity worldwide.
Steven Jackson's advice encapsulates their spirit: "No matter what, keep going. Don't give up on yourself. And don't let up."
