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

Hi Shawn, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
We have be doing this for many years for other people so why not do it for ourselves and take the chance.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
It hasn’t been easy to get to this point and still isn’t. It’s a challenge and learning lesson everyday and that’s the fulfilling part. I like this place because it’s built around community, bringing everyone up with us and supporting everyone. I like to give artist a chance to make us something that they think represents same same and make merch out it, or hang it on the wall.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would hike the mushroom caves, surf at pipes and hang out at the SRF. Eat at yakitori yakyudori then go see Laz for dessert and fernet. shoot some pool at the shanty and grab doughnuts at vg’s. Cruise the 101 and soak it all in.

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?
Ozzy and Felix!
