A Brand Born Out of Tragedy

This one today is quite an amazing story. Sean Lake is a former professional snowboarder who co-founded BUBS Naturals 4-years ago on the mission to make people’s health & wellness better. Since its inception, the company has seen meteoric growth and has changed thousands of people’s lives. And to think that the brand was born from a tragedy makes it even more special. 

The company “BUBS” is named after Sean’s childhood best friend, Glen “BUB” Doherty; a Navy Seal killed in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012.  Today’s IMPACT Show is a great story of 2 best friends, one gone but not forgotten and one living the dream and carrying on his best friend’s legacy.

 In today’s episode Sean shares:

  • How he became Shaun White’s manager. Todd also shares how he actually trained Shaun a long time ago and wait until you hear a crazy story. 
  • Dropping out of college with Glen to chase the dream.
  • 9/12, 2012 …the call about Glen’s death.
  • The sense of duty to protect Glen’s legacy.
  • The 30-day challenge that changed my life.
  • Fit at 50; Sean’s 7 day a week routine.
  • The growth of BUBS Naturals and why it has done so well.
  • The importance of giving back. 10% of all proceeds go to charity.

About Sean Lake:

Sean Lake grew up in Winchester, Massachusetts, before moving to Utah to become a professional snowboarder and general ski bum. Once he got that out of his system, he graduated from the University of Utah, using that degree to join Burton Snowboards, work as Shaun White’s Team Manager, and land a spot as the Director of Sports Marketing at DC Shoes. After decades in action sports marketing, Sean co-founded BUBS Naturals, a line of collagen peptides and other all-natural supplements that help athletes at all levels perform and feel their best.

Sean named BUBS Naturals after his childhood best friend Glen “BUB” Doherty, a Navy SEAL who was killed in Benghazi, Libya on 9/11 in 2012. In addition to remembering Glen for the patriot he is, the BUBS ethos centers around the passionate and adventure-seeking life that Glen lived. Sean and the BUBS Naturals family further honor “Bub” by donating 10% of all profits to charities that support veterans.

A devoted husband, father, and fitness fanatic, Sean now lives in Encinitas, California, where he can ride his bike to work and still do a quick surf check from the office.

About Glen “BUB” Doherty….

Glen was an adventure seeker, a river guide, skier, Ironman competitor, fitness fanatic, chef, gardener, handyman, and epic storyteller. BUB was a national hero…a Navy SEAL who saved lives, and was always the life of the party. Glen was also the oldest and closest friend of BUBS Co-Founder, Sean Lake. Glen and Sean used to talk about the “fountain of youth” and how to keep exercising and getting after it like they were in their 20’s….when they were turning 40!

He passed away on September 11, 2012 in Benghazi, Libya.
