Our Story
From humble beginnings, Robert and Shanecka Bedford gave birth to the idea that beautifully made, fair-trade accessories could drive social change and give people hope. Prior to starting Heads Up Trading Co., Robert and Shanecka worked many jobs which required them to work long hours often working seven days a week. Over the years, they found that focusing on making money left little time for friends, family, or time to enjoy life. Robert says that he got tired of working remedial jobs and living paycheck to paycheck. Shanecka says that she got tired of the redundancy of working in Corporate America.
“Every year I took a survey where my employer asked if I felt like my job was meaningful and every year myself and everyone else I knew checked no. I got tired of it and realized that I wanted my work to really mean something. If I was going to get up and do something every day. I wanted to love it. I wanted to bring happiness to myself and encourage people to find happiness themselves.”
Determined to change this, they decide to step out of their comfort zone and try their hand at entrepreneurship. They bought a van and began to travel throughout the Midwest, offering handmade fair-trade products at festivals and local events. Eventually due to their love of crystals, they decided to add a line of sustainably sourced crystals and minerals to their product line. Soon after that, they opened their first store location in Cincinnati, Ohio which allowed them to incorporate other products they loved such as essential oils, organic herbs, and sustainably sourced resins. Through their entrepreneurial experiences, they met extraordinary people and encountered enlightening situations that proved to them that they could make a difference in the world.
Why Shop Heads Up Trading Co.?
Heads Up Trading Co. started based on a hope and a dream, the hope of becoming financially free, and the dream of being able to do something good in the world. Robert and Shanecka Bedford started the company with little money and had no idea that they would be able to reach the number of people that they have. All they knew is they wanted to have a positive impact on peoples lives .
“We knew that we wanted to set an example and prove to ourselves, our families, our community, and other aspiring entrepreneurs that you really can do anything you want if you believe in yourself and put in the work.
We knew we were on to something when customers started emailing us thanking us for sharing our knowledge, telling us how we helped them beat cancer, or how we uplifted them spiritually.
