ENTREPRENEURSHIP TAUGHT FROM REAL EXPERIENCE

Sean Rayland-Boubar is the founder of Red Rebel Armour, an award-winning Indigenous business and social enterprise.

He teaches entrepreneurship from the experience of actually building a business, creating products, finding customers, growing a team and using business to create social impact.

His approach also draws from Indigenous ways of knowing, community and lived experience.

The goal is simple:

Help people see that entrepreneurship is possible, then show them how to take the first step.
