In this episode of Launch Nook, we sit down with Briggs Gibbins, Founder & CEO of Last Shot Apparel (LSA) — a Canadian garment design and manufacturing company creating sustainable, ethically-made apparel for organizations across the country.

Driven by a belief that business can be a powerful force for positive change, Briggs is building more than a company — she’s building impact. From creating jobs and promoting responsible production to representing Canada at the 2025 G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance Summit in South Africa, her mission is rooted in shaping a future where commerce contributes to a healthier planet.

Before stepping into entrepreneurship, Briggs built a diverse career in the performing arts — competing internationally with Team Canada in dance, performing aboard cruise ships, and appearing in productions for Netflix, Hallmark, and Paramount. Today, she blends creativity, business strategy, and social responsibility to prove that ethical entrepreneurship isn’t just possible — it’s essential.

We discuss purpose-driven leadership, building a sustainable brand in today’s market, and what it really means to challenge the status quo.
