Sean Dowdell is the founder of Club Tattoo, a successful brand that started as a side hustle to support his music career. As a touring musician in his early 20s, Sean quickly learned the challenges of sustaining a creative life without financial stability. This realization sparked a deeper interest in entrepreneurship, ultimately transforming his passion for music into a passion for business. By the late '90s, he had shifted focus, dedicating himself to mastering business mechanics and refining his model for growth. Today, Sean is not just a business owner but also a dynamic speaker sharing hard-earned insights from both the stage and the boardroom.
