We recently connected with Quentin Renouf and have shared our conversation below.
Quentin, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?
From the age of 6. At that moment I felt an “opening” in me, it was the beginning of my adventure. Let me explain: from that age I started to create with LEGO bricks, I did not follow the models that were on the boxes to reproduce the products offered, I created my own productions with the bricks that the boxes contained. After this work, I needed to go out and the sport arrived. What I am still undertaking today therefore appeared at that time. Finally, I have been professionalizing myself over the years for “23 years” to help myself as best I can at first and to help others as best I can later. It’s a long process that is worth it and if I have any advice today to give to future entrepreneurs who are looking for their way outside of them, I would tell them to look inside instead. ‘them. The answers are there. The business idea is there.
Quentin, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
My name is Quentin Renouf, I’m 29 years old and I’m a model, cyclist, guitarist and photographer.
For modeling, I pose for my various activities since their beginnings and as soon as possible for the others. For cycling, I practice the road at high level over long distances. For music, I practice several instruments in the studio and I assemble my compositions to make musical creations. For photography, I practice digital and analog reporting. I oscillate between art, street and landscape photography.
I put my experiences, my knowledge and my creativity at the service of individuals and professionals from Cairanne (Vaucluse, Provence-Alpes-Côte-D’azur, France). On the cycling side, I help professionals to increase their online visibility through marketing and communication techniques and I help individuals by adapting to their requests: cycling coaching, repairs, etc. On the music side, I help professionals by making my contribution to projects they are working on and which require my services as creators of sound samples or even musical lines and I help individuals by advising / guiding them in the right direction for their musical practice. On the photography side, I help professionals and individuals to enhance their image through photographic reports and digital retouching.

Do you sell on your site, or do you use a platform like Amazon, Etsy, Cratejoy, etc?
In the beginning, I offered my products via the online platform Wix but the referencing of my website had a cost that I could no longer cover from the first year of existence of my activity due to lack of traffic. Subsequently, I switched to the ETSY online platform but I had the same problem, the platform took commissions for each product deposited and without traffic / purchase, it was an investment at a loss. Today, I use the Bandcamp platform which does not take commission on deposit, it only takes it following a sale. For a small business like mine, it suits me not to have to pay any fees.
Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?
Yes, human resources such as Franck Nicolas, David Guetta, Bob Sinclar, EnjoyPhoenix or even Théo Curin have had and still have an impact on me. We can speak here of resonance. Indeed, they are personalities who have the same values as me. We also see in their stories that it all started with an “injury” during childhood, and that since then they have taken revenge on life. I think they could perfectly answer the question “What do you think are the qualities to become a good entrepreneur?” but as I am the interviewee, I will answer it with the following qualifying adjectives: To be resistant, humble, focused, flexible, observant and above all HUMAN.
