Together, with four other friends, he decided to launch a company that would bring mate to the American market.

    Jesse Stanley: Co-Founder of Charlotte's Web & CEO of Stanley Brothers USA

    Jesse Stanley, the Co-Founder of Charlotte's Web and CEO of Stanley Brothers USA, shares his journey of starting and scaling a company in the then-little-known industry of CBD – with his six brothers! In 2013, the world was introduced to the Stanley Brothers' mission when CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta featured the life-changing story of a brave little girl, Charlotte Figi, who struggled with catastrophic epilepsy. The broadcast became the tipping point CBD as Charlotte’s story challenged public perception, changed laws, ignited research, and accelerated the CBD industry both in the United States and across the world. Jesse is clearly guided by the benefits of what he has brought to market. He’s taken an idea that he believed filled a need and turned it into an excellent business with products that are awesome. You are going to love hearing all about his journey, his new partnership with Major League Baseball and all of the stories and lessons.
