Coast-2-Coast Canna Chat JT

This week I had the distinct pleasure of sitting with Vince Oliver, Founder & CEO of A CBD Remedy, a craft CBD tincture brand for people & pets.  Vince, a New Jersey native, has traveled across the U.S. and back to immerse himself in the cannabis & hemp industries.  In the mid-2000's, Vince ventured to San Francisco to begin getting his grow on in the very early daze of the California dispensary scene.  From there he and his wife, moved to Colorado, where he worked as a dispensary manager for a number of locations in Boulder.  Five short years later, Vince & his family ventured back to NJ to bring some of that institutional west coast knowledge to the east coast.  Vince & his wife co-founded A CBD Remedy in 2018 and are now selling product in over a dozen retail stores with plans for expansion in 2020.  Be sure to tune in and listen to what my man has going on.

Meet the new faces of cannabis, Robert Allen and Holli Ehrlich, a dynamic husband-wife team who have a passion for planning and producing events like no other. They are experienced entrepreneurs on a mission to educate communities about the power of cannabis and CBD as medicine for health and wellness, self-care and caregiving. They produce engaging events and educational programming in-person and online showcasing high-quality brands for the canna-curious consumer. Through their events, you learn about the amazing medical and social benefits of a natural, healing, plant-based alternative therapy for people and their pets. They want to reduce fear and stigma and elevate what's safe and legally available.

What's up everyone?  WE ARE BACK with Episode 5 of the Coast-2-Coast Canna Chat.  This week we are sitting with Cory Slovik, Founder & CEO of Core Roots CBD.   Cory, an ex-professional snowboarder and athlete, understands first-hand how years of physical activity can take a toll on the human body.  Years of injuries on the slopes left him looking for a healthy solution to alleviate his aces and pains.  It was then that Cory discovered the benefits of cannabis and set out on a journey to educate the masses, end the stigma, and provide safe, clean alternatives for those in need.  Core Roots CBD is a New Jersey-based company founded in 2017 that is rapidly expanding sales operations across the United States.  Join us as we talk about some of the challenges facing the cannabis market and how Core Roots is successfully and proactively navigating this soon to be heavily regulated industry.    So kickback, relax, listen, and learn.
