We had the good fortune of connecting with Chau Arnold and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chau, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I found my dream job! I made it to the third round of interviews. We even made it to salary discussion. I asked for 8-10% more, due to the shift and availability they needed. I wasn’t being ridiculous. I literally couldn’t afford childcare on the salary they were offering. I got the decline email seems like immediately. It was heartbreaking. So, I created my own company, Siberian Mink Prosthetics, doing essentially the same thing. Medical Supply Chain Management. I can now work around my children’s schedules, grow my business and skill set.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Siberian Mink Prosthetics is the first medical supply company that specializes in all things hair. As we work to partner with insurance providers for $0 out of pocket service. In the interim, we assist our clients with reimbursement for their services. Siberian Mink Prosthetics is a Unisex solution to medical hair loss.We even extend our services to non-medical clients. We use Hollywood techniques on everyday people. Due to COVID-19 many are taking a much more practical and safe approach to life and we are ready. We promise 1 to 1 appointments for privacy and public health.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love a fine dining bar.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Joseph Shields, of Shields Enterprises. He has being doing great business for 30 plus years. No matter the economic turn he makes sure his clients are cared for and his staff is taken care of. I model my white glove customer service and “no none sense” business tactics after Joe.
