What to look forward to in this episode:
[00:01-9:38] — How RESTART CBD Got Its Start
• Shayda shares more about her background and how she got into the CBD industry while recovering from an auto-pedestrian accident.
[9:39-19:40] — All About RESTART CBD products
• Shayda explains how RESTART is all about making a safe space for anyone to explore the benefits of CBD.
• Shayda and Chris talk about the range of CBD products that exist and the importance of fighting misinformation in the industry.
[20:50-29:00] — Formulations, Marketing & Research
• RESTART primarily uses organic MCT — aka Coconut Oil — in their formulations.
• Education is everything. Shayda encourages new users to do their research about cannabinoids, such as CBG and Delta 8 THC.
• Because they’re no clear path to research, it’s up to us in the community to experiment and guide people on their own journey.
[29:00-36:20] What’s good in the CBD space? What should we look for in the future?
• CBD is helping push cannabis conversation at-large into legitimacy.
• In a state like Texas, CBD is the gateway into the conversation about legalization.
• Be aware of players who are in the market for the wrong reasons, not because they’re passionate about cannabis.
• Shayda says she’s looking forward to a future when someone can get really granular and find the right blend of cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids for their specific needs.
