Backstory
In 2014, Sean Whalen, the creator of Lions Not Sheep, designed and wore a single T-shirt to raise awareness of the need to stop naively following news and media outlets. Within days, demands to purchase them began to come in. Sean's mother and children assisted him with printing, packaging, and shipping from home. When COVID struck, Sean transferred the manufacturing from his home to a warehouse with six people. Since then, Lions Not Sheep has become viral and has expanded like wildfire.[5]
In 2016, he began receiving requests from individuals for business and personal life coaching. Consequently, Sean's private coaching and networking organization, the Lion's Den, was established.
As of mid-2022, the Lion's Den has 3,000 members with a monthly membership fee of $297. Right after the launch, The Den was considered a premium networking and personal growth group for both men and women, allowing new members only a few times a year.
In April 2022, Lions Not Sheep sent an order of 200,000. Over 700,000 items of Lions Not Sheep-branded gear were in the hands of devoted enthusiasts.
Additionally, Sean's book sold over 800,000 copies, and his videos have been watched over one billion times.
Sean himself rides a GT American GT4 Class Auston Martin Supercar owned and operated by Lions Not Sheep. Soon, Lions Not Sheep will release a documentary on the organization and its Lions Den members.
Technology
The ownership of Lions Not Sheep NFTs can be verified through smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. Each NFT has been generated algorithmically by combining 324 characteristics of varying rarity distributed across 14 categories to produce one-of-a-kind Lion Not Sheep NFT. All characteristics will have an entirely distinct Lions appearance. Future upgrades and airdrops to NFT owners will further differentiate these Lions in terms of look and capabilities.
