FEATURED PERSON

Christopher Bustamante

Founder & CEO, CB3 Media

Featured Guest

A former college and pro football player, Christopher founded CB3 Media in college — now a social media marketing agency working with Shark Tank companies, handling paid ads, video editing, and social strategy.

Christopher played football through a scholarship at Lakeland University and a pro contract with the San Antonio Gunslingers before turning to entrepreneurship. He started CB3 Media during college after finding a mentor's videos on running an ad agency online, building the business through cold calls, DMs, and free trial work. CB3 Media now works with companies that have pitched on Shark Tank and been featured on Good Morning America and QVC, including Shredskinz, Nightcap, and The Scrubbie. He also runs CB3 Performance, training athletes at the pro, college, high school, and youth levels.

Selected ideas
