Shaun McBride (aka Shonduras) is a former Forbes 30 under 30 honoree who took his fame on Snapchat and turned it into a series of companies launched from The Spacestation. In 2015 Shaun built the breakout YouTube channel “Best Day Ever”. As that channel started taking off, Shonduras saw the opportunity to build something bigger than himself. Enter his friend Sean Holladay (aka Holladay) at the beginning of 2017. The combination of Holladay’s business savvy and Shonduras’ creative genius enabled the partners to build Spacestation Integrations and Spacestation Gaming. Both of these companies are rocket ships in their own markets and the Spacestation now employs teams focused on each company. Since 2018 the duo launched a new YouTube channel, A for Adley, starring Shonduras’ 4-year-old daughter. With over 1.7 millions subscribers and nearly 1.5 billion views, it’s obvious that creativity runs in the family. And if all of this wasn’t enough, the founders invested in and help run Vidsummit, a top video creator conference. The Spacestation is an incredible place to work and Utah is an ideal place to live (sorry for the disappointment, this Spacestation is not orbiting the earth…yet). Shonduras and Holladay are pumped about the progress but admit, “we’re just getting started!”
