Lawson McDonald

Former D1/D3 hockey player. Co-built The Hockey Guys to over 1 million TikTok followers while still competing. Started landing brand deals in college before NIL was even a thing.

Now I run three businesses — including a clothing brand and an education company — and I teach athletes how to do the same.
