Tell us a little about yourself. What’s your background? How did you start the business?
My background is CPG, and I spent 6 yrs at Procter & Gamble. I’ve also co-founded a very successful food brand. When I started taking CBD, I discovered a difference in the ingredients list, and most brands used unnatural ingredients. Digging further, I found that the CBD strain, extraction, and growing methods greatly impacted the individual experience. I realized CBD is a blessing, but currently, it is challenging to know what you’re putting in your body and the kind of impact you’re getting. So, I decided to change that to enable those who need CBD to get pure, U.S-grown CBD with transparency around ingredients, process, and predictability.
