Did you know that over 2 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water? In this episode of the Success x Happiness podcast, we sit down with Shannon Lemanski, founder of Aqua Ubique. Shannon shares his journey from childhood and Army service to creating a company that turns air into drinking water using solar energy. Growing up in a small town, Shannon faced numerous challenges but was always driven by a strong sense of duty and community. His upbringing instilled in him the values of hard work and resilience. After high school, Shannon enlisted in the defence force, where he served with distinction in various capacities.
