Sean earned his first Number 1 single as a writer on the country charts with Brett Young?s ?Mercy" in early 2018, and his objective with his most recent album as an artist titled A Horrible Beautiful Dream is to reflect the chaotic time in which it was made, while still striving for timelessness.

In 1991, Tobias Tubbs was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death (Life Without the Possibility of Parole) as a youth offender. He then spent three decades within some of the most dangerous and inhumane prisons that California has to offer, where he not only survived these years, but thrived through his adoption of Loving-Kindness Mindful Practice.

Due to Tobias's incredible healing work with thousands of prisoners and staff during a 28-year period, as well as his profound advocacy to terminate sentences like his own, he was commuted his sentence and released to his community, where he continues to engage in his incredible healing work and advocacy for the incarcerated and their communities. 

Tubbs currently serves as Co-Founder/Owner of Create Good Ventures, where he advises, creates, and invests in good social enterprises.

From the farm to the factory to our closets, we all have an opportunity to create positive change through clothing. Start asking questions about your clothes in the same way you ask about the food you eat, and you can help fundamentally change the way clothing is made. Since 2010, prAna has taken a grassroots approach to reduce plastic in their packaging. As the first apparel brand to sign on with Fair Trade USA, prAna is able to pay a premium directly to the workers on every manufactured good. prAna believes in adventure for all, creating a safe space where everyone can thrive in their own way; respect and responsibility, outfitting adventures with respect for the planet and its people; and progress not perfection, allowing their employees freedom to take risks, make mistakes and grow.
