#392 Sean Lake: From Pro Snowboarder to Purpose-Driven Entrepreneur
Sean Lake is the founder of BUBS Naturals, a supplement company honoring the legacy of Glen “BUB” Doherty, a Navy SEAL and Sean’s best friend. Former professional snowboarder and marketing executive, Sean brings a unique blend of grit, entrepreneurial spirit, and heartfelt purpose. His mission: create clean, effective products that fuel performance and give back to veteran communities.
