Episode 58
From the Streets of Philly to the Billboards of New Jersey
In this inspiring episode of Victim to Triumph Over Tragedy, host Lawrence LeBrocq sits down with Sean Grevy, founder and CEO of 43 Oak, for an in-depth conversation about perseverance, purpose, and entrepreneurial grit. Sean shares his journey from growing up in a challenging North Philadelphia neighborhood to building a successful media buying agency that now manages tens of millions in advertising. Along the way, he faced immense personal and professional obstacles, including turning down a shot at professional hockey, overcoming partial facial paralysis, and launching his business while living out of his car. Today, through the 43 Oak Foundation and a powerful partnership with the New York Islanders, Sean is giving back by mentoring and supporting inner-city youth in pursuit of hockey careers. This episode is a testament to the power of resilience, the importance of values-driven leadership, and what it truly means to turn tragedy into triumph.
