As athletes and adventurers, Adam Saks and Ben Parens know the importance of simplicity and high performance in their daily routines. After countless miles and too many products that fell short, they grew frustrated with the lack of effective, clean solutions for chafing. They believe self-care should empower, not compromise. That’s why Live Cushy™ was created: a brand focused on elevating the athlete’s experience with all-natural, non-toxic ingredients that actually work.

Jon chats with Adam and Ben about:

  • Journey from College Athletes to Runners, to Entrepreneurs 

  • The Inspiration and Backstory of Live Cushy™

  • Brand Marketing and Community Engagement

  • Manufacturing, Organic Ingredients, and Quality Control

  • Customer Feedback and Adaptation

  • Balancing Growth and Sustainability
