In this episode of Toni Unleashed, Toni Shelaske chats with John Reider—also known as the Bubble Man—founder of Atomic Bubbles and Bubble Bus. John shares the origin story of his USA-made bubble company and how he turned a love of glowing bubbles into a thriving business that now includes pet-safe scented bubbles and bubble-filled event experiences.

They dive into Atomic Bubbles’ dog- and cat-friendly formulas, which use enticing scents like bacon, peanut butter, and real catnip oil—plus the newly launched calming lavender bubble made with real lavender essential oil. John and Toni discuss the importance of non-toxic ingredients, sensory safety for pets, and why fragrance should never overpower a pet’s environment.

John also talks about the rise of the Bubble Bus: a traveling bubble party on wheels that entertains all ages at weddings, schools, and community events. From hand-painting school buses to franchising a nationwide brand, his story is all about family, joy, and keeping it fun.
