Mr Jason Daniel: LSKD Founder & CEO | Speaks With Canterbury Year 7 Business Students
Our Year 7 Business, Economics and Enterprise class explores the skills needed to become a successful modern-day entrepreneur.
So who better to provide industry advice than Mr Jason Daniel, Founder and CEO of the highly successful Australian sportswear brand LSKD?
Canterbury students Ottelia Faggotter and Sidney McMahon recently enjoyed the amazing opportunity to sit down with him and discuss all things business.
Mr Jason Daniel is a 37-year-old mega success story from right here in Logan, Queensland.
This former pro motocross rider turned tradie who used to earn just $7 an hour, has transformed his clothing company into a global powerhouse worth $100 million AUD.
At just 12-years-old, Jason began making his own t-shirts for the local BMX community.
By 16, while working as an apprentice carpenter, he officially launched ‘Loose Kid Industries’ in 2002.
LSKD – short for 'Loose Kid’ – comes from his nickname, earned through his fearless BMX riding.
In 2007, this brand name transitioned from 'Loose Kid Industries' to simply 'LKI’.
Even while juggling a full-time carpentry job, and stashing his clothing products in three huge shipping containers in his mum's backyard, Jason stayed committed to the brand, pushing through even during slow sales periods.
After a broken wrist ended his motocross aspirations in 2010, Jason went 'all in' on his clothing label and business dreams.
Although the early days were riddled with setbacks, Jason's unwavering persistence and determination, and sheer belief in his products eventually paid off.
After another rebranding to ‘LSKD’ in 2018, the focus shifted to e-commerce and a dual-channel approach, with online and physical stores.
A sophisticated multi-faceted marketing strategy, a willingness to learn from mistakes, and truly valuing his team, were crucial to LSKD's exponential growth.
Between 2019-23, the company's annual revenue skyrocketed from $1.6 million to $76 million, with celebrities like Hillary Duff, Zac Efron, Hailey Bieber, Vanessa Hudgens and Emily Ratajkowski sporting the label.
With worldwide success and continuous growth, LSKD stores are opening across the globe, embodying their commitment to getting 1% better every day.
So let’s see what Mr Jason Daniel can share with our Canterbury students Ottelia and Sidney!

2024 United Nations Day: Canterbury College Multicultural Celebration | Event Wrap & First Release Photos!
More than 1,650 ELC – Year 12 students, 300 staff and 945 parents, carers, siblings, relatives, family friends and alumni from Canterbury College’s fast-growing Logan school community, have transformed their campus Events Centre into a major one-day multicultural festival.
The private coeducational Anglican school’s final day of Term 2 featured their newly annual United Nations Day, to truly celebrate the College’s estimated 80 dialects from 60 different countries, represented by an extremely diverse international student body.
“United Nations Day is not a typical style of school event,” Principal Mr Dan Walker said.
“As an event that now attracts nearly 2,900 participants, it is enormous and welcoming.
“Our school is in the centre of Logan City, the most diverse city in Queensland, and one of the most diverse in Australia.
“And that is why UN Day at Canterbury College is so important, as it works from the basic assumption that from all the lands on earth, many chose to make Australia their home.
“Yet we all still hold onto the culture, language, kinship, tradition and religion from our past.”
Now in its fourth year, after very humble beginnings in 2020 under heavy COVID restrictions, Canterbury’s UN Day now features 20 traditional cuisines originating from Africa, Polynesia and the Pacific Islands, The Americas, Western and Eastern Europe, Australasia and every Asian region – entrees, mains and desserts proudly prepared and served by school parents and friends.
Complementing the global food and drink stalls, was a full on-stage 2.5-hour performance schedule covering dances, music and songs from Malaysia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Samoa, India, Tonga, China, South Korea, the Philippines, Cook Islands, Fiji and Africa.
These performances were all choreographed and rehearsed by the students themselves, with a little help from their friends, siblings and parents.
The festival followed the College’s opening formal ceremony which included a First Nations’ Welcome To Country and Smoking Ceremony with the didgeridoo, performed by the local Indigenous Mununjali and Logan Elders – from proud clans of this region’s Yugambeh people.
Senior School Global Studies Teacher Mrs Jennifer Wu – Taiwanese-born with a Korean husband she met while they were both working in Japan – was the event guest speaker, who recounted her 30 years’ experience absorbing Australia’s very different norms, culture and language.
Principal Mr Dan Walker’s official address covered how Canterbury College is ‘Different Together’ – explaining how not being all the same is the school’s greatest strength.
That regardless of religion, gender, sexuality or culture, students and families have a home at Canterbury.
And that we draw on these different life experiences, stories, backgrounds and values to learn from one another and to make our community stronger.
The event was blessed by Canterbury’s College Chaplain Father Dan Talbot and VIP guest – Anglican Bishop John Roundhill, before the ceremonial highlight of the official ‘Parade Of Nations Flag Ceremony’, where students carried the flag of their cultural background through the large crowd and onto the stage for display.
Other cultural activities included a special Indigenous dance performance, Indigenous weaving, an interactive Digital Map Of Origin where guests plotted their traditional home cities on a world map, Indian henna tattoos, face painting, plus various arts and crafts.
UN Day is now easily the biggest Canterbury College school community event and looks set to only expand with each passing year.
“When we celebrated this event for the first time in 2020, there were four dance numbers and about 40 plastic chairs laid out in front of the school canteen,” Principal Mr Dan Walker said.
“Most in the community didn’t even know it was on, and at the end of that day, the organising teacher Mr Chris Nield and I thought we ‘might’ be onto something, but weren’t even sure it would happen again.”
“But it has grown, boy oh boy, it has grown. I can now see a future when this event could be one of the pre-eminent cultural and food festivals in Logan.
“That would be a remarkable thing for our school community and for this city.”
Proceeds from the day are going to the Multicultural Australia Work & Welcome Program.

Canterbury Junior Ethics Olympiad | Online Interschool Competition Currently Underway!
It’s an exciting day for learning as select students in Years 5-6 dive into the Junior Ethics Olympiad.
The Junior Ethics Olympiad is an online interschool competition held across Australia and the wider region, where Canterbury Lumina students present ethically-sound arguments to answer questions about six different scenarios.
Unlike a debate, teams need to acknowledge others’ contributions and can agree or disagree with them, while also presenting possible alternate views to their own arguments.
The Canterbury Junior Ethics Olympiad team this year consists of Khushi Patil, Emma Kay, Haeun Bae, Pegella Beh and Ruhani Sayan, and they have worked well as a team in coaching sessions to prepare for this event.
Lumina is our special College program dedicated to further empowering our high-performing Junior School students.
