Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Side Hustlers. I'm your host from my Heart Radio,
Carla Murie. You can find me on Instagram. It's at
the Carla Murray. You can also reach out to me
with anything you want to say about this podcast, any
questions you may have, maybe suggestions for future guests, whatever
it may be. It's Side Hustlers Podcast at gmail dot com.
(00:20):
And in this podcast, we follow people and talk to
people who are following their passion outside of their day job.
People who decide to work extra And I know it
sounds crazy, but it's true. There are a lot of
people out there who decide to do this. So this
week we've got a side Hustler's first, we have identical
twins on the podcast. We've got Susan and Hannah and
(00:41):
they've created two cranes. It is a CBD or a
botanical company. Now, if you don't believe that marijuana should
be legal, has nothing to do with this podcast. This
is about cb D and I am someone who believes
in CBD, who someone who has had chronic body pain
and back pain days where I can't move. Cb D
(01:02):
has helped me. I know my mom didn't understand the
difference between CBD and THHC and I explained it to
her and now she uses CBD. So bear with me.
Listen to Susan and Hannah and how passionate they are
about this world of cb D. And if you're in
the Seattle area, I've got some events that we're going
to talk about at the end of the podcast where
you can check them out. But code Carla Marie will
(01:24):
get you a discount. It is at two Cranes dot
CEO for a lot of people. You know, why are you?
Why do you know what you want to do? And
this is something you want to do you're talking about
and do it. I'm a hustles side side hustle. Do it.
I'm a hustles hustl do it. I'm a hustles side
side huslove. Come on, ask about me, yo yo. It's
(01:47):
the side Hustless podcast we call the Root. Okay, but
today I am lucky to have Susan and Hannah in here.
And it's I say Hannah, but Susan. I keep hearing
you say Hannah a little bit. So am I saying
it wrong? You are saying it right. You say sisters,
then I am saying my sister's name. In many different ways. Um,
(02:08):
so I'll say Hannah. You know it's actually Hannah because
it means number one in Korean and she's the firstborn
of twins, and so you know, being identical twins Hannah
and Korean means one season was actually a fun fact,
was going to be named Tuna, as in our last
name is Chung, so she would have been named Tuna
(02:30):
Chung okay and who my god dad, Yeah, our uncle's basically,
but they thought it was going to be a good
idea to mend too too and then the and then
half of my sister's name Hannah, I get right, but
the bunny, I mean, yeah, thank god it was not Tuna,
because I don't think I would be sitting here today
(02:51):
because the childhood trauma. But you know it's it's Susan
is what they landed on, which is like a Japanese
floor for prefaces. I'm Clara because I we were born
and raised Greenly, Colorado, which is in the middle of Colorado,
a small little cow town, and so you know, it
was really hard for me. One. I couldn't speak English
even though we were born and raised here. My parents
(03:13):
spoke Korean in the house, right and we spoke to
each other in Korean until at preschool. Preschool, So after preschool,
my our teach my teachers which is called me Hannah, right,
so eating my teaching and saying Hannah didn't happen. So yeah,
it just the same thing with my name. It's Susan,
but it goes. You know, people call me Susan Susan
and Hannah call me Susan at times, so we just
(03:35):
interchange anyway another way at the names. Okay, the names
were done. Yes, you are identical twins. I wish people
could see what I'm setting right out because it's like,
you look really alike. And I love that you guys
have a company together, and I'm sure that is that
helps people remember you and it helps you stand out.
And we're going to get into obviously what you do.
(03:56):
This is a side hustle technically for both of you,
and I want to talk about that. But two Cranes
is your company. It's how do you it's not a
CBD company you say it's a botanicals company. It's a
CBD wellness company. Wellness because we really are passionate about
people understanding that we're not just a CBD product company.
(04:16):
But we really are also providing the all encompassing wellness
value to our products, and that can mean a lot
of different things, exactly. And so that's why it's a
CBD wellness product company and not just a CBD company.
And it's called a tune. And some people go to
your website it's two Cranes dot CEO. They'll say what
I'm talking about. You can follow them on Instagram it's
(04:37):
two Cranes. But I do need to say, and I
fold you both this before. I love your esthetic and
I feel so basic when I say that, But it's
gorgeous and it's pretty. You see so many of these
these CBD companies with the like the labels like don't
it just looks like they try to make it like
candy almost like it's just all over the port. Yeah,
And then I look at yours and I'm like, well,
(04:58):
this is pretty and it looks for lacked they and
I love it so translates. No, it seriously does. But
two Cranes is the name of your company, and I
know there's a story, well kind of behind the name,
So tell that because I think it's really cool. So
Susan came back from Washington d C the Women's March,
and uh, it changed her life. She told me, Hannah,
(05:19):
I just know that we're going to start something together,
like we've always wanted to and we've always talked about
it and dreamed about it. Say, we always wanted to
go do something would be helping people heal in wellness
because Susan and I are both yoga instructors and and
you know, we had kind of a similar path living
in two different places. And so she was visiting me
here in Seattle and we were sitting on the catch
(05:41):
and she was like, let's think of a name. And
it's like, okay, before you evenne what you were exactly
going to do, you came up with the name. Yeah.
So we're sitting on the couch and I just had
my baby, and so that my I was in a
mental space like I can't see myself doing anything else
right now. But all right, okay, let's let's go with this.
It's cool to cranes popped up and instantly I don't
(06:02):
know who said it first. Actually, um, one of we
both said it. We both said it. We can't take
one of us can't take credit for it. I don't
know one of us said it. It resonated with us,
and they're like, yes, we bought the domain right then
and there. And then I kind of just sat on it,
like we just after that conversation, we just had you know,
brain store and different ideas, and one of them was
(06:22):
opening up a Plotty studio store studio Plotty Studio Studio
wellness space. And then that kind of just kind of fizzled.
It wasn't something that we, uh, we're going to pursue, um,
and so so we just tabled that name. But we
knew that we really wanted to do something that was
going to create a really big impact and um, the
(06:45):
health and wellness space for people. My dad once he
one day you just called me and said I want
to tell you something, and I was like, okay, and
it seemed very important. He typically doesn't start sentence that
sentence right away, and he that I wanted to send
you a picture, and it was a picture of two cranes,
one standing in one kind of like folded over, and
(07:06):
he said, this is a picture of your grandfather's label
for our wife's wine dit Jelier that he had in
Korea in a place called hun in Korea. And he
was a it was a serial entrepreneur. He did lots
of different things and that happened to be one of them.
And in Korean it's called ehawk. Ehawk means two cranes.
It's just like it's like how you know the fact
(07:29):
that you're saying that you don't know you both thought
of it, you don't know who. It's like it literally
came to you. Honestly, really it still does when we
think about it. And you know, Hannah had said, um,
and we had no idea, Like we just knew our
our grandfather. We never met him. My dad's in his
eighties and so like we never met him or anything
(07:50):
like that. We just heard stories of him, but never
did that ever come up. And it was his first business,
it was the very first one. So it has so
many different meetings for us. Know, in addition us being
identical twins, we are the two cranes, you know. And
what does I mean in Asian culture? And so in
the Asian culture, another um meaning that it has is
(08:10):
it's had this meaning of eternal youth, happiness, longevity, just
health and wellness. It's well being. It's been in many,
many different Asian cultures, not only in Korean culture, but Chinese, Japanese, Japanese,
the cranes are very revered um and really known for
(08:31):
those things. So it's just like synergistically were we were like,
this is the perfect Yeah, that's how you can have
two cranes. At what point did you decide to finally
when you settled on CBD. What was it that you said,
you know, it wasn't yoga, wasn't Okay, We're going to
do a CBD company. Yeah, it's pretty actually very serendipitous
(08:52):
and magical, I'd say, because I'll let Susan speak to this,
because Susan actually found CBD first, and that's how I
was introduced. This is Hannah Hannah. But yeah, if you
want to speak to that soon. I was working in
San Francisco in finance UM and during that time it
(09:12):
was a very big transitional period in my life because
I had moved to San Francisco, I had come off
of synthetic hormones, which you know, my body was going
through kind of a lot of different changes, especially, and
then there's my job change, and then there was just
a lot going on. And you know, with my job,
it was very high stress and it's some investment, banking,
(09:35):
working like I was working a lot, and so I
was underneath a lot of stress and physically and you
were diagnosed with an autommune disorder. So at that time,
my internal medicine doctor, it's like you, I advise that
you step away from your job. She even she's like
my savior angel that came that really was able to
(09:56):
help me to see a different way of life. Um war,
So I already knew kind of internally that and you
needed to change, you know, and all these different things
that were happening on the physical level. Um my home
roonnes were so imbalanced. I got health everything under the sun.
It was kind of in this disarray. And so and um,
(10:19):
I remember Hannah visiting me in San Francisco and I
looked like just like a zombie, you know, I know,
like I when I think about it. I also I'm
a very emotional person, but extra extra emotional because um,
I had never seen season that way. You know, we've
gone through a lot ups and downs. You know, I
think we gained fifty pounds together in a freshman fifteen.
(10:42):
It was like freshman Yeah, I mean like physically mentally,
all these things that we've gone together and we've seen
each other and the best and the worst, and I
would definitely say this was the one of the world.
It was a terrible So yes, so I so Susan
had like, for instance, acne, all adultsally manifesting my yea,
(11:03):
my skin is exactly and and I had to step back. Uh,
I stepped away from my my job. It was such
a hard decision for me to say, Okay, I need
to listen to myself, my body and what it needs,
kind of step away from it. And and we look
about really really look like how I was doing life
(11:26):
really and UM and my and how I was taking
care of my health. So I went on this journey
where you know, my whole entire diet change. You know,
no dairy, no so I know UM sugar and for alcohol.
And I feel like a lot of people know this
and know that, you know, really tending to your gut health,
all of these different things that UM, I was doing
in this part of this journey. And came across CBD
(11:49):
when I moved back to Colorado. It was really really hesitant.
I did, like I I'm not a smoker. I'm not
a big marijuana fan. It's something that you know, I
just choice is just decided not to do. But I
kind of grouped it into the same thing most people
do that. Yeah, And I think that even even though
you're hearing about CBD all over the place, that there's
(12:10):
still that big misconception that it is marijuana it's gonna
make and it really just comes down to education, the
lack of education and the dialogue around it. You know.
I've had discussions with Hannah who had been had her
second child, and so she started to kind of look
more into it and kind of figure out, is this
something that I want to try to And well I
(12:31):
didn't actually step in until Susan actually started taking in.
I could notice the difference, like actually noticed a difference,
and I knew that like all the other things like
going to the mountains, things that were really therapeutic for us,
um you know, yeah, like taking care of what she
was putting in her body, even more so because she
was eating organic before. But it was like a different level, right,
(12:51):
So I think all of these combine. But then um,
the CBD element was with the new the element that
was new, and also that was like I catapulted her
to a like a a better place of health. And
I saw that, and I saw it, I was like, well,
maybe I'll give it a try because I'm struggling as
(13:13):
maybe so yeah, yeah, then I don't at one point
you tried it. Also stuff is awesome. Yes, well not
right away. So so my journey with it, or my
um introduction to CBD. I you know, Susan told me
about it. I picked up a small little vial and
had two and fifty milligrams, so I was taking like
(13:35):
one milligram small micro first. It's very scary. I thought,
you know, I was going to get high. And I
just coupled it with T which is the psychoactive compact.
All the other people there's so many different types of
like this. Yeah, I mean I heard from Susan CBD
(13:55):
is great. I didn't even understand if it was hamper marijuana.
I just saw it on the shelf and Colorado and
I thought, okay, well, I'm gonna do enough reading. It
looks like this is a pretty legitimate company and they've
been around for a long time, and I know, you know,
just a little bit about it. I'm gonna take it.
But I didn't really understand what it would mean to
actually take it. So in this process. You both try CBD,
(14:18):
you eventually like it, But why do you say, oh,
let's start our own company. You We always wanted to
do something in health and wellness that was really going
to impact people on a deeper level, and I I
didn't want people to kind of go through what I
went through and also handah to I and what we
found in this industry and what we found in trying
to go out and get our own other places and
(14:40):
just looking looking around it was our own product, in
our own product. It was very difficult for us to
find products that we can actually trust and say, oh,
I think this is something that we are Um, you know,
it's a product that's saying that is it is what
it is? You know. I don't know if you heard
about this article that came out in California that spoke
(15:02):
to the California market, but the FDA and the state
on the state level went in and actually took a
d plus samples and over seventy of them they are
random samples of hemp, uh yeah, hemp as well as
marijuana products that have CBD in it. So they have
CBD products and what they found. What Susan was saying
(15:23):
is that seven over seven d of them or to
either mislabeled, didn't have CBD, had toxins, heavy metals, suicides.
The power of these companies getting away with doing this
because of the regulation. The Farm Bill for legalizing CBD
with th h D levels at point three percent or
less happened in December, so it's relatively so that just happened,
(15:48):
and regulations have just not cut a caught up with
that passing, and so really there's you know, people, it
is kind of the wild wild West that you've heard
of with the CBD in industry. And so for us,
you know, finding those of the trusted products or products
that really have the CBD content um and the potency
(16:09):
without all of the pesticides and metals and other things
that could be more harmful for our body and really
offset that UM. We we found it was really difficult
to find the transparency out there and the consistency and
the consistency of it, which those are very very important
and for as you know, consumers with you know, Hannah
(16:31):
being a mom of two myself really be much more
intentional about what's what I'm consuming. Uh. We thought, okay, well,
if we're having this issue, then everyone's probably having the
same issue as all right, and we wanted to be
the trusted friends so that people, you know, to do
all of that digging um and not only is a
(16:52):
lot of work and overwhelming, but to be that trusted
source all at once. Right, So is that why other
CBD companies aren't doing this? Because it is a lot
of work to create like you guys have true and
pure CBD because there's a lot of for instance, Well,
I want to say first though, like we can't speak
for all CBD companies. They're good and they're they're definitely
(17:14):
ones that have bad practices, but I think that we're
practice not pickle practices. Um. And then we just want
to go Susan and I is aim aim is to
go above and beyond what the standard quo is, even
in this unregulated market. I guess it doesn't know. I
hear that from actually a lot of people who are
on this podcast. They're doing what they do because they
(17:35):
truly care about the product and truly care about the
people that are going to use it, whether it's clothing
or CBD. So they really really want to be the
best that they can be, whether it's the product or
even just um, environmentally, what am I putting out there?
And you know, you can make a plastic product that
I'm sure it's great, but why do you have to
(17:55):
make a plastic do the extra work to do something
else that's not plastic. So completely understand where you're coming from.
And I think a lot of that comes from smaller
companies that are two people and not these big conglomerate
companies that don't care what they're doing because it's just whatever,
it's just money and it's a machine. But you guys are, yeah,
you guys are completely opposite of that, and you are
(18:17):
doing this because it's something that obviously has had an
effect on your lives and you believe in it. You
are other people to be passionate and to feel better
by using your products exactly. And so the quality control
augously is so so important to us, which is why
we do everything from going to seed ground. You have
a farm, so, um, you would have a farm one day, Okay,
(18:40):
So it's not like, yeah, so what we have is
a single source farming animals on our farm. It's that Um,
it's just agricultural goods, but hemp only. So the Department
of Agriculture has basically just a clarify we don't have
a far more partnered with exactly. I want to make
(19:02):
sure maybe one day we don't live on this far.
But yeah, it's very close to us, um so being
in Denver, it's right outside of Aspen. But UM, you know,
we are really involved from every well in every aspect
of the business. From UM the production side, meaning we
go and seed the our little hemp seedlings, UM and
(19:25):
then and then then see it grow to fruition and
then go harvested. Yeah, say Hannah is coming out in September,
so we're going to be harvesting for next next year,
UM for next year's crop actually or products and um
SO and then also the seed the type of seed
that we use a strain, which is so very important.
But you know, we understand that our soil content, our water, UM,
(19:50):
the quality or water, the filtration system UM is just
top of the line, and we UM you know, we
can really stand there and and have a clear conscious
that the product that we of is really the highest standard.
There is a very large part of this industry is
just white labeled UM white label products. What does that mean?
(20:10):
So that means that you know, there's a company that
UM is providing. It's kind of like cosmetics. UM the
industry with manufacturing, so UM all the different small companies
go to these there's maybe three large ones or I
don't know how many there's now, but UM. You know,
you go there and then they just produce all the
(20:30):
products for you and then you slap a label on
their right label. So the thing is there are some
really great places that are doing it. But the thing
there is no understanding of where that you know, if
it's CBD, where is it coming from? Because it's whoever
out of those companies who slapped their label on it,
(20:52):
it's who has the best marketing at that point. Now
who has the best products. And there's different like because
they're so big and their supply for so many people,
demand is going up, so there was like a shortage
of hemp and so they're people are just sourcing it
from all over the place, whether it be from overseas.
(21:13):
China is a really big producer of hemp. Yeah, there's
you know, Kentucky, Arkansas, you name it. Everyone is kind
of growing. But how do we how do people know
how clean the ingredient is if you're taking from so
many different sources and the extracting it. It's you just
don't know, it's like a really melting pod um for
(21:35):
for us, whether you know, if you think about CBD
white label companies, is just they're bringing it all together
extracting it so that level of consistency might not be there.
We're not saying all of these are some of the
maybe the challenges you might find if you're just stay
what's the benefit of going to a single source, like
you know exactly where it's coming from, and we tracked
(21:55):
from sea to sale, like we know exactly where everything
is going. There's just these different levels and Knah had
mentioned of us that we've kind of went above and
beyond to make sure that we're giving that level of
transparency and bringing in more of a consistent product to
the market and that quality Controlso so this is all
a lot like the fact that you've got no no no,
(22:17):
I mean, you put in so much, so much research
and time, like Susan, you go to the farm that
you guys are a part of to check on this stuff,
like you do a lot of work, and this is
a side hustle still for you and you have two
kids and you're doing this so I want you guys
to talk a little bit about that and how you
spend your time and Susan explain what your day job is.
(22:38):
You don't have to give out the name of the company,
but what you do during the day and then how
you guys make this work. Sure, So for many, many years,
I've been in banking and finance, investment banking aside. Right
now I'm more on the finance technology side. And so
during the day, I'm at the office. You know, it's
the eight five all go and be extremely my my
(23:02):
accounts are on the East Coast and so basically I'm
in the office at six am in the morning, um,
you know, and I leave around three o'clock. But it's
a position that I kind of took um to allow
me a little bit of stiff space to be um
to pursue and the passion that this passion company that
(23:23):
we have. I do that like Monday through Friday basically,
and there's you know, there's a little bit of flexibility
for me able to work remote at times, but you know,
to balance that, it's been a challenge and to be
honest with you, it's um and there's a lot of
sleepless nights. There's a lot of times where I'm like, Okay,
am I gonna go to this event or if I'm
(23:44):
gonna do you know, go to another convention and go
and speak here, But I um, because I feel so
tired and like there's just right because here's been like
it was just you know, there's there's just never stopping. Yeah,
there's never If you are stopping and you are sitting
on your couch, you feel guilty. It's crazy because there's
(24:08):
there's something else on this list of like fifty things
that there's never a lack of things to do for sure.
Never sorry, do you think you'll leave your day job
at some point? Ever? And just to cranes, is it um?
You know? We um? We's like yeah, so, I mean
(24:28):
that would be the dream, you know, really to be
able to uh, to focus all my energy and it
would be it would be amazing. It would be a
dream to just do something that I completely love and
have my heart into um at all times. It is
definitely hard to be at work and not think about,
you know, like my company, and that's that's a challenge
(24:49):
because I'm trying to be really present and what I'm doing,
but my mind is also thinking about, you know, how
can I do things better for the company and what
can I do next? So and then I'm thinking about
my sister what she's doing. But you know that balance
is definitely a challenge. But I would love to just
pursue and do and and you know, having this having
(25:13):
the day job, it takes a lot of time. And
so there's a lot of things that I would love
to get to these projects that we have, and um,
how to roll out our vision and to really accomplish
these big, more meaningful, impactful goals that we had the
deep thinking work right um behind our vision. To to
(25:34):
really formulate what that is takes time and energy to
you know, it's not just the right it's just the thinking,
the intention. Your mind is always going or you're always
on and it's not just the physically stit and they're
typing out an email. It's always coming up with ideas
and being creative and being on top of things. You are,
I understand, yeah, right, And I think I've got also
(25:58):
kind of identifying what is just the busy work versus
like what's actually the important things that we need to
do priority and prioritizing that because everything seems important, and
there's just two of us, and then two of us
are like, okay, well we think that this is important,
this is important, but really being able to discern that
um and then not just doing things for the sake
(26:20):
of business obviously, it's just what is it to really
hone in on those things that are going to be
able to help us to that next step of impact.
And so for for us, you know, I would love
to sit and chat with Hannah in the mornings, and
I can't at times. We had this lofty goal Suthan
and I we put out there we are going to
(26:43):
um take a moment every morning. We're gonna talk to
each other. We're gonna say some affirmations, we are going
to pray together, and then we're going to do some
yoga for fifteen minutes. And you guys live in different
states and we have in different states, and so we
were like, we're gonna do this together. We're gonna call
each other. It might not be like based on Google,
They're going to that together all the time. And so
but then my kid comes running in. Then I have
(27:04):
to wipe his butt because like, you know, I just
piped or you know, it's like it doesn't happen. Didn't happen,
but I feel valuable. I think in the moments that
we do get to do that. Absolutely. So two months
ago on side hustlers, I did just a month of
moms who hustle. So their day job was being a
full time stay at home mom, but their side job
(27:26):
was owning this business. And so many of them said
things like this business makes me a better mom, or
because I have this, I am just in a better
brain space. And and for a while some of them
said I lost my identity because I was, as they said,
just being a mom. But really we all know that
that is way more so do you also feel that, absolutely?
(27:48):
I mean it feeds a different part of me. You know,
I do feel like I'm a little bit more of myself.
You can say you can't see the quotes, but yeah,
like more creative. I can exercise that creativity. I'm interacting
and exercising my voice with other adults. Right, I need
adult time. Yeah, I mean that's absolutely necessary. There's an
(28:09):
element of, I guess fear. I don't know if that's
what you could say, but it's scary to kind of
go out and absolutely what your ideas in the world
and then you wanted yeah right, So, UM, I think
that it's normal to have that feeling and then also
but then then also meeting that with courage and just
(28:29):
doing your best. I mean that itself, I think speaks volumes.
I think that, um, maybe even the negotiations skilled or
what it might be, or what I do in my work, UM,
and how I bring it into and incorporate with my
children and even talking to them about it. It's it's great,
and I think I am in a better mental space.
(28:50):
I completely understand and agree. And your kids, like you're saying,
you are a role model for them there and look
at all this stuff my mom did, she had her
own company with our aunt while she was raising us,
Like this is bad and they're gonna want to continue
to be like you. So I get the mom guilt,
and I completely understand. At the end of the day,
I firmly believe it's amazing for kids to see that.
(29:10):
So it's a lot of respect goes to the both
of you really for what you're doing. And it's crazy
to me that you are able to do this. But
if you're passionate about something, it's it's not that it's easy,
but it's gonna happen. You're gonna make it, You're gonna
get it done. One of the things I like to
talk about in the podcast is how I've met the
people or a person who is on the podcast, or
how they were connected to me, because I am just
(29:32):
in love with connections and how they happened. I'm just
I love it. So you we met at it was
an event at Hotel Theaterre here in Seattle. It was
just a sleepover session, it was what it was called.
They were letting a bunch of people try out rooms
and different events, and we happened to be paired at
the same table for dinner, which was just so random, honestly,
and we were talking a lot about what we all
(29:53):
did and what you guys, and I had seen you
on Instagram before. I don't even know how or what
I knew of your company before, And I think maybe
it was because you also had a session at this event.
You guys were teaching people about CBD Anti workshop there.
But I had so many questions for you guys, and
one of the things you told me one of the
stories at night was that you went to college to
be doctors. Was that correct? Because you felt that pressure
(30:15):
coming from an Asian family and you guys to talk
about that and how you said when you both decided
when we were not doing this anymore. Yeah, So so
as many second generation Asian Americans can probably relate to that.
You know, in the Asian culture, your doctor, your lawyer, engineer,
or you're in finance and and those are the categories
(30:37):
that you have. And then if you don't really go
down that path, then you've either kind of looked at
as a failure or I'm not fun but a little bit. Yeah,
this is that this is what you need to be.
And then you know it's increating at such a young
age and um, and it's very prevalent I think in
in the culture and have any interest in science or
(31:01):
anything like that, but I think that actually I think
it's why it's Uh it's helped us with our company
because we really loved the science aspect of it and
really kind of diving deep into the medical research and
understanding it how this our product, how cebet really works
with our body. Um. And you know, we were in premed.
(31:23):
We were in a premed program. Uh, you know through
high school there was like a special program for premed.
You know, we went to and then we went to
Come only for seniors, but we're the only juiors that
we were extremely We're all about being doctors and that
was what we were going to be. And we went
to college and and we had an epiphany, both of
us separately, but we just knew that that wasn't the
(31:45):
path for us in many different ways. So I started
kind of working in finance, uh that was pretty early on,
and I worked up Microsoft for a little bit, and
Hannah had UM she was kind of working on some
other different product project, different things that she had as
far as work goes, because we were working during college.
But we both kind of just realized we don't want
(32:09):
to be doctors, like for the rest of our lives,
but this is something that we felt that this was
not our way. And we had actually an internship or
I don't know if you'd call it an internship, but
it was a job at a surgeon's office, and I
think exposure to that to you and the oral surgery
was um and we're both um Like we were in
(32:33):
that office with the patients and kind of watched the
day in and out and actually was a part of
that and realized this is something that we really didn't want.
But I think what we didn't want though, anything that
that profession, the profession of helping people help, then that's
you know, a bigger part of what we wanted. And
(32:53):
you've gone to that point, you know, you don't have
to do the part of it that you didn't want
to do. You still get to the science part that
you do like, and you've essentially created something that works
for the both of you, which is amazing. I got
into CBD once I moved to Washington in New Jersey.
It wasn't it's just not even and if it is
a thing, like they're just learning and it's kind of
(33:15):
starting from the basics, not understanding, like you guys were
explaining the true and pure CBD versus what even the differences.
So once I moved out here, you know, I had
terrible back pain. It still comes and goes. I started
trying it, but I had I had a little drop
or I did whatever as you call a serving or
dose it. So I had a dose of your seven
(33:39):
a tune, which is the name of your CBD, and
I'm feeling great right now by that, Like my back
was killing me earlier and it doesn't hurt. And that's
not just you guys say it works almost instantaneously correct. Well,
so it really takes so it's been a little bit
of time. Yeah, I mean I didn't like drop it
like three ds ago. It was like an hour ago.
So to talk about for a since your body absorbing,
(34:00):
if you take it and you ingest it, If you ingest,
it's gonna take a little bit more time. He's got
to go through your digestive system a long time is
really Deivelso to like, for instance, if you were the
vape CBD, then it'll just it'll take a very short
amount of time right like ten minutes, right, it will
long exactly. So you're if you need something like I
(34:22):
need feels pain relief right away, then I'm going to
vape it and it's going to be say an hour.
So if you're if you put it underneath your tongue sublingual,
then it'll last about four hours. Uh. And but it'll
also be faster than if you ingest it, so it'll
maybe kick in roughly thirty minutes, like forty minutes, and
then ingesting maybe a little bit longer than that. So yeah,
(34:45):
just kind of break it down and talk about a
feeling UM and Carlo Marie, you can actually it's UM.
So a lot of people have that expectation that you're
going to feel something like when you actually have marijuana,
you know, and it's like I'm fine, yeah, So it
doesn't infect you that way with CBD. I think a
(35:07):
lot of the misconception is is that you're going to
feel something. You're going to feel euphoric, or you're gonna
feel this sense of high or CB doesn't work that
way unless you maybe have a marijuana based CBD which
has a higher level of techc that has a psychoactive
property behind it. And and so you know, if you
(35:30):
I kind of talk about that, and I talked about that,
can I just mentioned really quick because it's not so
in your face, UM, touching on that more. It's um
as if if you have if you have pain, you'll
just noticed throughout the day that you're functioning without that pain,
right right. That is exactly a subtle thing, but you're
but you're just functioning, like Hannah said, and then you
(35:51):
just feel like, ohh wait, I had pain before and
it's not there. So it just kind of comes up
that way. One and what I originally started taking CBD
for pain and I'll never forget this, And I tried
to explain to everyone because they don't understand that it
also works for anxiety. And also, like you guys didn't
really know that I had anxiety or was either over
sensitive or heightened sense of whatever it was. I just
(36:12):
was just that was me. I have underdreaming it's crazy
all the time. Something was going crazy with work last summer,
and I got like, what could have been what could
have been terrible news? There were things that could have
been going on that I should have bawled over knowing me,
And I remember driving going why am I not? Why
am I not panicking? Why am I not? I'm not crying?
(36:32):
What's going on? What's wrong with me? And it took
me like minutes ago, Oh my god, the CBD is working,
and it was it was just keeping me calm and
level headn't able to think and process thoughts. And I
was like, huh, cool, it works. And I explained that
story to people where I'm like, oh, I think yes, yeah,
(36:54):
And that's the response that a lot of people have,
and they're like, is this a placebo effect? Yeah? I
doesn't really working. The sleep of effect. I mean, I
think people do have a lot of expectation going into it.
You know, mentally, if you think about it, it's not
not a bad thing to have a good placebo. Right,
it's working, it's what's working, right, And so I mean
it does work. Like physiologically it does work. But also
(37:16):
having that expectation also helps. Yes, I want to I
want to kind of talk about like the why it
works like a little bit because for I feel like
a lot of people wonder, Okay, well you know, why
does why does it work on anxiety? How does that?
How does that work? Or why do you why does
somebody feel more mental clarity and feel sleepy but not
feel sleepy and you know it's good for sleep. Yeah,
(37:38):
so we have it's honestly just like you know, the
end of the day, it really there. There is a
lot of science, um that's in research out there that
it's continuing to happen um too. There's a lot more
research that is happening just because you know, it has
been legalized since December eighteen. Um. You know, there was
(37:59):
a there was a hole back on getting that research funding,
funding and things that sort, um. But you know, our
it's a high neuroprotected in it has extremely high protectant
neuro protectant, and it has very high antioxidant and anti inflammatory. Okay, yeah,
keep in mind that we use me and everyone who
(38:21):
listens to this podcast. I'm generalizing right now. I have
no idea what you're saying. Okay, So so when I
talk when I say that it has a high antioxidant
and high anti inflammatory properties. The c b D is
cannabidi all and it's a molecule property inside the hemp plant.
So it has a in the hemp plant versus the
(38:42):
marijuana plant. The hemp plant has a higher level of CBD.
In the marijuana plant, there's a higher level of th HC.
And they're both main players in cannabis. In cannabis, and
I want to clarify. I'm sorry to jump in because
I think it's one of the things that a lot
of people ask us is, Okay, what's the difference between cannabis, marijuana,
and hemp. So, so that's cannabis. So hemp and marijuana
(39:06):
live underneath umbrella of cannabis. There's just subspecies. Okay. And
you think about it this way, marijuana more t hemp.
You guys are info graphic of this somewhere on Instagram
that we're working on more info graphics. But it's just
us and we are not graphic designers. Can't help you.
We do our best working on it. Working on is
(39:29):
extremely important and so you know, UM, with that, you know,
going back to like how it's working with your nervous
system or anxiety. Uh so and I had talked about,
um it being high and antioccident anti inflammatory properties. Um,
you know those when you think of uh sarahtnin or
you think of different chemicals in your body that combat
(39:50):
stress or those and what does that even mean is
that when there's different chemicals in your body that it's
like that is kind of disturbing the the stability of
your cells, then um, then your sales can be compromised
to kind of change. And that's there's a lot of
studies that kind of show you know, with stress, you
(40:11):
hear stress causes cancer. Maybe you can't say just it
causes cancers, but yeah, and that could be a better
way to say it. It's more so that your body
when it's under a high level of stress, you release
these chemicals that are doing damage to your cells. And
so there's other chemicals that combat that and so and
that have antioxidant properties to not oxidate the cells. And
(40:35):
so with that said, you know, CBD has a higher
level of these properties to combat the stress on your body.
But it's also unique in that. But I do want
to say that it's higher in anti accident and anti
inflammatory properties then the vitamin C and vitamin E that
and govern the government, the National Health Institute actually supports
this and there is a patent from the government that
(40:57):
actually states that it has higher intoexident properties than what
we a lot of consumers right now use to combat
stress and have you and then push you know, really
vitaminting vitamin C see that all over the place. They
actually even the National Dustry of Health also said that potentially,
so CBD has a potential it's very powerful that um
(41:21):
it could potentially be therapyic to all diseases in humans
and mammals. What this is an actual government has documented that.
So you know, that's pretty powerful that for them to
actually put it on paper and to say and to
state that claim and to state even that there is
(41:42):
that potential for this plant. And you're touching on that
like briefly, but because there is a system in our body,
the end of cannabinoid system that the the CBD, the
plant CBD or feto cannabinoids from the hent plant that's
in our oil is me you ingest it. You're actually
supplementing the deficiency that you might have that system, your system,
(42:05):
and also encouraging to produce more. And in that process
you're interfacing with other other systems in your body, so
your immune system, your reproductive system, or system you're nervous
system especially right, So all these stone for to help
with epilepsy and seizures. So I mean just to kind
(42:25):
of back up in our inno cannabinoid system. We have
receptors all of our body. We have a huge amount
in our brain, We have them in our gut, we
have them in a reproductive system, we have them in
our spine, all of our skin. And so when you
introduce CBD to to the system and you're helping with
the deficiency, helping your body create more of what you
what you need. There are also modulating enzymes that help
(42:48):
with like for instance, this is why it helps with pain.
It helps your body to recognize what it needs up
or down. So so it's so cool, it's really fascinating
and such a unique plant because one it can be
a supplement to help boost your immunity, your immune system,
but then also talks to pain, talks of sleep, toxic
(43:08):
anxiety in such a powerful way. No, this is all
it's fascinating to me, Like how it works, why it
works normally, just like it works. I don't care how. Yeah,
but it's really cool when you find our heart. It's
almost like our bodies are supposed to be taking that.
And so okay, yeah, so I mean one of the
popular popular but one of the most well known cann
of annoids. Also, um, this is a good example, is
(43:30):
in a nanomie, So nanda body creates a body creates
a nanomine which is like known to be the bliss hormone. Um,
that's what makes you feel the runners high. For instance,
it's found in embryo. Actually yeah, and it's a cannon annoid. Uh.
And so it's that it's it's a pretty powerful when
it's in your system, when it's in your body, when
(43:51):
you have high levels of a nanomide, when you feel
that sense of bliss that may be attributed to your
body having higher levels of a nanomine. And it's something
that our body naturally creates. Now we have a compound
that's identical, that's in as a botanical that we can
ins and and and ours isn't process in such a
(44:13):
way that we're stripping the plant right sore. It's processed
in a way we want to want to held the
full benefits of the plant. So it works synergistically with
all the different compounds. There's over a hundred thirteen different
cannabin noise and um, yeah you know, and and hundreds
of other compounds found in the plan and and they
all work together, right so and you're gonna get a better,
(44:35):
more therapeutic benefit from it. So okay, So I know
there are a few different ways to take CBDs, but
even a tune like you can put it topically, you
can put it in your drinks to put it right
under your tongue. Before we go today, I want each
of you to explain the ways that you individually specifically
use a tune. So a couple of different ways that
I use it right now, Yeah, this is Susan is
(44:58):
so uh you know. One is I put it in
pretty much like all my drinks in the morning, so
whether it be latte or tea, but in the mornings.
My actual ritual is that I will take it sublingoly,
so I'll put it underneath my tongue and hold it
for about thirty seconds or as as long as I
can because it starts dissolving. But I do put it
(45:19):
in my drinks, and then I also put it in
my skincare regimen because of the anti inflammatory and antioxidant property. Face.
It's amazing because again those anti inflammatory properties and again
and Hannah had mentioned that we have these receptors in
our skin, UM, so it's really helped with like rosatia,
acne Zamam Hannah, And I think I had mentioned U
(45:42):
that you know I had acne because of my changes,
and you know I don't have it anyway, which I
wish I could show you. It's insane, but you know
really that it's it's inflammation inside that's actually coming out
and manifesting on the outside. Right. So I'll put it
in my skincare, I'll put it in my drinks UM
(46:04):
and at night, I'll take about fifteen milligrams at night
underneath my tongue to just to help me sleep every night.
It's when she it's when I need it or I
but I like to incorporate into my daily routine in
the mornings every single day. So Ham, and then how
are you taking a tune CBD every day? So similar
(46:24):
to Susan, I'll take it UM in my latte's in
the morning and generally UM. Like she mentioned, I like
to take it sublingly, so either right before breakfast, UM,
I'll take that. I'll take about ten milligrams, depends on
how how much I have to do that day, how
how anxious I'm feeling about the rest of the dayy,
so it could be a little bit more. And I
(46:47):
will also use it for sleep occasionally. I don't use
it all the time, like every day for sleep, but
I do take CBD every day like Susan does as well.
You know a lot of times it's like even I
had a little bit of an accident UM earlier this week,
and I'll use it on the like my my scrapes
and my pain that I have. And she fell off
a bird. Unfortunately, I was like an animal, like I
(47:11):
was trying to be a crane. So I was. I
did one of those scooters and I had this big
bump very well, and then I just want lost control.
I could and I was just off of it and
I falling as an adult. So my goodness, I woke
up the next day to just in a lot of pain.
(47:32):
But I obviously use came fairly very handy. I actually
put it on that and uh, you know, I at
times like when these are super painful, even even though
I know it works, I still had that. Yeah, and
I'm still have that will it work? You know that
(47:52):
that question? And I put it on and then like
it really is just it's unbelievable that I'm like, I
don't feel this pain and just put it on it
ten minutes ago. I mean, it's so it's a little
bit different like fine grain as far as like how
it works in your body and how everyone's going to
be different. Yeah, yeah, well everybody is different and also
worse differently than differ Adville a title and it works
(48:14):
completely in a different way, completely different system. Yeah, I
love it. I'm gonna say I'm really excited for people
to try it, and even the skeptics, Like, if you
convince your dad that it works, even the skeptics listening

the side Hustless podcast we call the Root. Okay, but
today I am lucky to have Susan and Hannah in here.
And it's I say Hannah, but Susan. I keep hearing
you say Hannah a little bit. So am I saying
it wrong? You are saying it right. You say sisters,
then I am saying my sister's name. In many different ways. Um,
(02:08):
so I'll say Hannah. You know it's actually Hannah because
it means number one in Korean and she's the firstborn
of twins, and so you know, being identical twins Hannah
and Korean means one season was actually a fun fact,
was going to be named Tuna, as in our last
name is Chung, so she would have been named Tuna
(02:30):
Chung okay and who my god dad, Yeah, our uncle's basically,
but they thought it was going to be a good
idea to mend too too and then the and then
half of my sister's name Hannah, I get right, but
the bunny, I mean, yeah, thank god it was not Tuna,
because I don't think I would be sitting here today
(02:51):
because the childhood trauma. But you know it's it's Susan
is what they landed on, which is like a Japanese
floor for prefaces. I'm Clara because I we were born
and raised Greenly, Colorado, which is in the middle of Colorado,
a small little cow town, and so you know, it
was really hard for me. One. I couldn't speak English
even though we were born and raised here. My parents
(03:13):
spoke Korean in the house, right and we spoke to
each other in Korean until at preschool. Preschool, So after preschool,
my our teach my teachers which is called me Hannah, right,
so eating my teaching and saying Hannah didn't happen. So yeah,
it just the same thing with my name. It's Susan,
but it goes. You know, people call me Susan Susan
and Hannah call me Susan at times, so we just
(03:35):
interchange anyway another way at the names. Okay, the names
were done. Yes, you are identical twins. I wish people
could see what I'm setting right out because it's like,
you look really alike. And I love that you guys
have a company together, and I'm sure that is that
helps people remember you and it helps you stand out.
And we're going to get into obviously what you do.
(03:56):
This is a side hustle technically for both of you,
and I want to talk about that. But two Cranes
is your company. It's how do you it's not a
CBD company you say it's a botanicals company. It's a
CBD wellness company. Wellness because we really are passionate about
people understanding that we're not just a CBD product company.
(04:16):
But we really are also providing the all encompassing wellness
value to our products, and that can mean a lot
of different things, exactly. And so that's why it's a
CBD wellness product company and not just a CBD company.
And it's called a tune. And some people go to
your website it's two Cranes dot CEO. They'll say what
I'm talking about. You can follow them on Instagram it's
(04:37):
two Cranes. But I do need to say, and I
fold you both this before. I love your esthetic and
I feel so basic when I say that, But it's
gorgeous and it's pretty. You see so many of these
these CBD companies with the like the labels like don't
it just looks like they try to make it like
candy almost like it's just all over the port. Yeah,
And then I look at yours and I'm like, well,
(04:58):
this is pretty and it looks for lacked they and
I love it so translates. No, it seriously does. But
two Cranes is the name of your company, and I
know there's a story, well kind of behind the name,
So tell that because I think it's really cool. So
Susan came back from Washington d C the Women's March,
and uh, it changed her life. She told me, Hannah,
(05:19):
I just know that we're going to start something together,
like we've always wanted to and we've always talked about
it and dreamed about it. Say, we always wanted to
go do something would be helping people heal in wellness
because Susan and I are both yoga instructors and and
you know, we had kind of a similar path living
in two different places. And so she was visiting me
here in Seattle and we were sitting on the catch
(05:41):
and she was like, let's think of a name. And
it's like, okay, before you evenne what you were exactly
going to do, you came up with the name. Yeah.
So we're sitting on the couch and I just had
my baby, and so that my I was in a
mental space like I can't see myself doing anything else
right now. But all right, okay, let's let's go with this.
It's cool to cranes popped up and instantly I don't
(06:02):
know who said it first. Actually, um, one of we
both said it. We both said it. We can't take
one of us can't take credit for it. I don't
know one of us said it. It resonated with us,
and they're like, yes, we bought the domain right then
and there. And then I kind of just sat on it,
like we just after that conversation, we just had you know,
brain store and different ideas, and one of them was
(06:22):
opening up a Plotty studio store studio Plotty Studio Studio
wellness space. And then that kind of just kind of fizzled.
It wasn't something that we, uh, we're going to pursue, um,
and so so we just tabled that name. But we
knew that we really wanted to do something that was
going to create a really big impact and um, the
(06:45):
health and wellness space for people. My dad once he
one day you just called me and said I want
to tell you something, and I was like, okay, and
it seemed very important. He typically doesn't start sentence that
sentence right away, and he that I wanted to send
you a picture, and it was a picture of two cranes,
one standing in one kind of like folded over, and
(07:06):
he said, this is a picture of your grandfather's label
for our wife's wine dit Jelier that he had in
Korea in a place called hun in Korea. And he
was a it was a serial entrepreneur. He did lots
of different things and that happened to be one of them.
And in Korean it's called ehawk. Ehawk means two cranes.
It's just like it's like how you know the fact
(07:29):
that you're saying that you don't know you both thought
of it, you don't know who. It's like it literally
came to you. Honestly, really it still does when we
think about it. And you know, Hannah had said, um,
and we had no idea, Like we just knew our
our grandfather. We never met him. My dad's in his
eighties and so like we never met him or anything
(07:50):
like that. We just heard stories of him, but never
did that ever come up. And it was his first business,
it was the very first one. So it has so
many different meetings for us. Know, in addition us being
identical twins, we are the two cranes, you know. And
what does I mean in Asian culture? And so in
the Asian culture, another um meaning that it has is
(08:10):
it's had this meaning of eternal youth, happiness, longevity, just
health and wellness. It's well being. It's been in many,
many different Asian cultures, not only in Korean culture, but Chinese, Japanese, Japanese,
the cranes are very revered um and really known for
(08:31):
those things. So it's just like synergistically were we were like,
this is the perfect Yeah, that's how you can have
two cranes. At what point did you decide to finally
when you settled on CBD. What was it that you said,
you know, it wasn't yoga, wasn't Okay, We're going to
do a CBD company. Yeah, it's pretty actually very serendipitous
(08:52):
and magical, I'd say, because I'll let Susan speak to this,
because Susan actually found CBD first, and that's how I
was introduced. This is Hannah Hannah. But yeah, if you
want to speak to that soon. I was working in
San Francisco in finance UM and during that time it
(09:12):
was a very big transitional period in my life because
I had moved to San Francisco, I had come off
of synthetic hormones, which you know, my body was going
through kind of a lot of different changes, especially, and
then there's my job change, and then there was just
a lot going on. And you know, with my job,
it was very high stress and it's some investment, banking,
(09:35):
working like I was working a lot, and so I
was underneath a lot of stress and physically and you
were diagnosed with an autommune disorder. So at that time,
my internal medicine doctor, it's like you, I advise that
you step away from your job. She even she's like
my savior angel that came that really was able to
(09:56):
help me to see a different way of life. Um war,
So I already knew kind of internally that and you
needed to change, you know, and all these different things
that were happening on the physical level. Um my home
roonnes were so imbalanced. I got health everything under the sun.
It was kind of in this disarray. And so and um,
(10:19):
I remember Hannah visiting me in San Francisco and I
looked like just like a zombie, you know, I know,
like I when I think about it. I also I'm
a very emotional person, but extra extra emotional because um,
I had never seen season that way. You know, we've
gone through a lot ups and downs. You know, I
think we gained fifty pounds together in a freshman fifteen.
(10:42):
It was like freshman Yeah, I mean like physically mentally,
all these things that we've gone together and we've seen
each other and the best and the worst, and I
would definitely say this was the one of the world.
It was a terrible So yes, so I so Susan
had like, for instance, acne, all adultsally manifesting my yea,
(11:03):
my skin is exactly and and I had to step back. Uh,
I stepped away from my my job. It was such
a hard decision for me to say, Okay, I need
to listen to myself, my body and what it needs,
kind of step away from it. And and we look
about really really look like how I was doing life
(11:26):
really and UM and my and how I was taking
care of my health. So I went on this journey
where you know, my whole entire diet change. You know,
no dairy, no so I know UM sugar and for alcohol.
And I feel like a lot of people know this
and know that, you know, really tending to your gut health,
all of these different things that UM, I was doing
in this part of this journey. And came across CBD
(11:49):
when I moved back to Colorado. It was really really hesitant.
I did, like I I'm not a smoker. I'm not
a big marijuana fan. It's something that you know, I
just choice is just decided not to do. But I
kind of grouped it into the same thing most people
do that. Yeah, And I think that even even though
you're hearing about CBD all over the place, that there's
(12:10):
still that big misconception that it is marijuana it's gonna
make and it really just comes down to education, the
lack of education and the dialogue around it. You know.
I've had discussions with Hannah who had been had her
second child, and so she started to kind of look
more into it and kind of figure out, is this
something that I want to try to And well I
(12:31):
didn't actually step in until Susan actually started taking in.
I could notice the difference, like actually noticed a difference,
and I knew that like all the other things like
going to the mountains, things that were really therapeutic for us,
um you know, yeah, like taking care of what she
was putting in her body, even more so because she
was eating organic before. But it was like a different level, right,
(12:51):
So I think all of these combine. But then um,
the CBD element was with the new the element that
was new, and also that was like I catapulted her
to a like a a better place of health. And
I saw that, and I saw it, I was like, well,
maybe I'll give it a try because I'm struggling as
(13:13):
maybe so yeah, yeah, then I don't at one point
you tried it. Also stuff is awesome. Yes, well not
right away. So so my journey with it, or my
um introduction to CBD. I you know, Susan told me
about it. I picked up a small little vial and
had two and fifty milligrams, so I was taking like
(13:35):
one milligram small micro first. It's very scary. I thought,
you know, I was going to get high. And I
just coupled it with T which is the psychoactive compact.
All the other people there's so many different types of
like this. Yeah, I mean I heard from Susan CBD
(13:55):
is great. I didn't even understand if it was hamper marijuana.
I just saw it on the shelf and Colorado and
I thought, okay, well, I'm gonna do enough reading. It
looks like this is a pretty legitimate company and they've
been around for a long time, and I know, you know,
just a little bit about it. I'm gonna take it.
But I didn't really understand what it would mean to
actually take it. So in this process. You both try CBD,
(14:18):
you eventually like it, But why do you say, oh,
let's start our own company. You We always wanted to
do something in health and wellness that was really going
to impact people on a deeper level, and I I
didn't want people to kind of go through what I
went through and also handah to I and what we
found in this industry and what we found in trying
to go out and get our own other places and
(14:40):
just looking looking around it was our own product, in
our own product. It was very difficult for us to
find products that we can actually trust and say, oh,
I think this is something that we are Um, you know,
it's a product that's saying that is it is what
it is? You know. I don't know if you heard
about this article that came out in California that spoke
(15:02):
to the California market, but the FDA and the state
on the state level went in and actually took a
d plus samples and over seventy of them they are
random samples of hemp, uh yeah, hemp as well as
marijuana products that have CBD in it. So they have
CBD products and what they found. What Susan was saying
(15:23):
is that seven over seven d of them or to
either mislabeled, didn't have CBD, had toxins, heavy metals, suicides.
The power of these companies getting away with doing this
because of the regulation. The Farm Bill for legalizing CBD
with th h D levels at point three percent or
less happened in December, so it's relatively so that just happened,
(15:48):
and regulations have just not cut a caught up with
that passing, and so really there's you know, people, it
is kind of the wild wild West that you've heard
of with the CBD in industry. And so for us,
you know, finding those of the trusted products or products
that really have the CBD content um and the potency
(16:09):
without all of the pesticides and metals and other things
that could be more harmful for our body and really
offset that UM. We we found it was really difficult
to find the transparency out there and the consistency and
the consistency of it, which those are very very important
and for as you know, consumers with you know, Hannah
(16:31):
being a mom of two myself really be much more
intentional about what's what I'm consuming. Uh. We thought, okay, well,
if we're having this issue, then everyone's probably having the
same issue as all right, and we wanted to be
the trusted friends so that people, you know, to do
all of that digging um and not only is a
(16:52):
lot of work and overwhelming, but to be that trusted
source all at once. Right, So is that why other
CBD companies aren't doing this? Because it is a lot
of work to create like you guys have true and
pure CBD because there's a lot of for instance, Well,
I want to say first though, like we can't speak
for all CBD companies. They're good and they're they're definitely
(17:14):
ones that have bad practices, but I think that we're
practice not pickle practices. Um. And then we just want
to go Susan and I is aim aim is to
go above and beyond what the standard quo is, even
in this unregulated market. I guess it doesn't know. I
hear that from actually a lot of people who are
on this podcast. They're doing what they do because they
(17:35):
truly care about the product and truly care about the
people that are going to use it, whether it's clothing
or CBD. So they really really want to be the
best that they can be, whether it's the product or
even just um, environmentally, what am I putting out there?
And you know, you can make a plastic product that
I'm sure it's great, but why do you have to
(17:55):
make a plastic do the extra work to do something
else that's not plastic. So completely understand where you're coming from.
And I think a lot of that comes from smaller
companies that are two people and not these big conglomerate
companies that don't care what they're doing because it's just whatever,
it's just money and it's a machine. But you guys are, yeah,
you guys are completely opposite of that, and you are
(18:17):
doing this because it's something that obviously has had an
effect on your lives and you believe in it. You
are other people to be passionate and to feel better
by using your products exactly. And so the quality control
augously is so so important to us, which is why
we do everything from going to seed ground. You have
a farm, so, um, you would have a farm one day, Okay,
(18:40):
So it's not like, yeah, so what we have is
a single source farming animals on our farm. It's that Um,
it's just agricultural goods, but hemp only. So the Department
of Agriculture has basically just a clarify we don't have
a far more partnered with exactly. I want to make
(19:02):
sure maybe one day we don't live on this far.
But yeah, it's very close to us, um so being
in Denver, it's right outside of Aspen. But UM, you know,
we are really involved from every well in every aspect
of the business. From UM the production side, meaning we
go and seed the our little hemp seedlings, UM and
(19:25):
then and then then see it grow to fruition and
then go harvested. Yeah, say Hannah is coming out in September,
so we're going to be harvesting for next next year,
UM for next year's crop actually or products and um
SO and then also the seed the type of seed
that we use a strain, which is so very important.
But you know, we understand that our soil content, our water, UM,
(19:50):
the quality or water, the filtration system UM is just
top of the line, and we UM you know, we
can really stand there and and have a clear conscious
that the product that we of is really the highest standard.
There is a very large part of this industry is
just white labeled UM white label products. What does that mean?
(20:10):
So that means that you know, there's a company that
UM is providing. It's kind of like cosmetics. UM the
industry with manufacturing, so UM all the different small companies
go to these there's maybe three large ones or I
don't know how many there's now, but UM. You know,
you go there and then they just produce all the
(20:30):
products for you and then you slap a label on
their right label. So the thing is there are some
really great places that are doing it. But the thing
there is no understanding of where that you know, if
it's CBD, where is it coming from? Because it's whoever
out of those companies who slapped their label on it,
(20:52):
it's who has the best marketing at that point. Now
who has the best products. And there's different like because
they're so big and their supply for so many people,
demand is going up, so there was like a shortage
of hemp and so they're people are just sourcing it
from all over the place, whether it be from overseas.
(21:13):
China is a really big producer of hemp. Yeah, there's
you know, Kentucky, Arkansas, you name it. Everyone is kind
of growing. But how do we how do people know
how clean the ingredient is if you're taking from so
many different sources and the extracting it. It's you just
don't know, it's like a really melting pod um for
(21:35):
for us, whether you know, if you think about CBD
white label companies, is just they're bringing it all together
extracting it so that level of consistency might not be there.
We're not saying all of these are some of the
maybe the challenges you might find if you're just stay
what's the benefit of going to a single source, like
you know exactly where it's coming from, and we tracked
(21:55):
from sea to sale, like we know exactly where everything
is going. There's just these different levels and Knah had
mentioned of us that we've kind of went above and
beyond to make sure that we're giving that level of
transparency and bringing in more of a consistent product to
the market and that quality Controlso so this is all
a lot like the fact that you've got no no no,
(22:17):
I mean, you put in so much, so much research
and time, like Susan, you go to the farm that
you guys are a part of to check on this stuff,
like you do a lot of work, and this is
a side hustle still for you and you have two
kids and you're doing this so I want you guys
to talk a little bit about that and how you
spend your time and Susan explain what your day job is.
(22:38):
You don't have to give out the name of the company,
but what you do during the day and then how
you guys make this work. Sure, So for many, many years,
I've been in banking and finance, investment banking aside. Right
now I'm more on the finance technology side. And so
during the day, I'm at the office. You know, it's
the eight five all go and be extremely my my
(23:02):
accounts are on the East Coast and so basically I'm
in the office at six am in the morning, um,
you know, and I leave around three o'clock. But it's
a position that I kind of took um to allow
me a little bit of stiff space to be um
to pursue and the passion that this passion company that
(23:23):
we have. I do that like Monday through Friday basically,
and there's you know, there's a little bit of flexibility
for me able to work remote at times, but you know,
to balance that, it's been a challenge and to be
honest with you, it's um and there's a lot of
sleepless nights. There's a lot of times where I'm like, Okay,
am I gonna go to this event or if I'm
(23:44):
gonna do you know, go to another convention and go
and speak here, But I um, because I feel so
tired and like there's just right because here's been like
it was just you know, there's there's just never stopping. Yeah,
there's never If you are stopping and you are sitting
on your couch, you feel guilty. It's crazy because there's
(24:08):
there's something else on this list of like fifty things
that there's never a lack of things to do for sure.
Never sorry, do you think you'll leave your day job
at some point? Ever? And just to cranes, is it um?
You know? We um? We's like yeah, so, I mean
(24:28):
that would be the dream, you know, really to be
able to uh, to focus all my energy and it
would be it would be amazing. It would be a
dream to just do something that I completely love and
have my heart into um at all times. It is
definitely hard to be at work and not think about,
you know, like my company, and that's that's a challenge
(24:49):
because I'm trying to be really present and what I'm doing,
but my mind is also thinking about, you know, how
can I do things better for the company and what
can I do next? So and then I'm thinking about
my sister what she's doing. But you know that balance
is definitely a challenge. But I would love to just
pursue and do and and you know, having this having
(25:13):
the day job, it takes a lot of time. And
so there's a lot of things that I would love
to get to these projects that we have, and um,
how to roll out our vision and to really accomplish
these big, more meaningful, impactful goals that we had the
deep thinking work right um behind our vision. To to
(25:34):
really formulate what that is takes time and energy to
you know, it's not just the right it's just the thinking,
the intention. Your mind is always going or you're always
on and it's not just the physically stit and they're
typing out an email. It's always coming up with ideas
and being creative and being on top of things. You are,
I understand, yeah, right, And I think I've got also
(25:58):
kind of identifying what is just the busy work versus
like what's actually the important things that we need to
do priority and prioritizing that because everything seems important, and
there's just two of us, and then two of us
are like, okay, well we think that this is important,
this is important, but really being able to discern that
um and then not just doing things for the sake
(26:20):
of business obviously, it's just what is it to really
hone in on those things that are going to be
able to help us to that next step of impact.
And so for for us, you know, I would love
to sit and chat with Hannah in the mornings, and
I can't at times. We had this lofty goal Suthan
and I we put out there we are going to
(26:43):
um take a moment every morning. We're gonna talk to
each other. We're gonna say some affirmations, we are going
to pray together, and then we're going to do some
yoga for fifteen minutes. And you guys live in different
states and we have in different states, and so we
were like, we're gonna do this together. We're gonna call
each other. It might not be like based on Google,
They're going to that together all the time. And so
but then my kid comes running in. Then I have
(27:04):
to wipe his butt because like, you know, I just
piped or you know, it's like it doesn't happen. Didn't happen,
but I feel valuable. I think in the moments that
we do get to do that. Absolutely. So two months
ago on side hustlers, I did just a month of
moms who hustle. So their day job was being a
full time stay at home mom, but their side job
(27:26):
was owning this business. And so many of them said
things like this business makes me a better mom, or
because I have this, I am just in a better
brain space. And and for a while some of them
said I lost my identity because I was, as they said,
just being a mom. But really we all know that
that is way more so do you also feel that, absolutely?
(27:48):
I mean it feeds a different part of me. You know,
I do feel like I'm a little bit more of myself.
You can say you can't see the quotes, but yeah,
like more creative. I can exercise that creativity. I'm interacting
and exercising my voice with other adults. Right, I need
adult time. Yeah, I mean that's absolutely necessary. There's an
(28:09):
element of, I guess fear. I don't know if that's
what you could say, but it's scary to kind of
go out and absolutely what your ideas in the world
and then you wanted yeah right, So, UM, I think
that it's normal to have that feeling and then also
but then then also meeting that with courage and just
(28:29):
doing your best. I mean that itself, I think speaks volumes.
I think that, um, maybe even the negotiations skilled or
what it might be, or what I do in my work, UM,
and how I bring it into and incorporate with my
children and even talking to them about it. It's it's great,
and I think I am in a better mental space.
(28:50):
I completely understand and agree. And your kids, like you're saying,
you are a role model for them there and look
at all this stuff my mom did, she had her
own company with our aunt while she was raising us,
Like this is bad and they're gonna want to continue
to be like you. So I get the mom guilt,
and I completely understand. At the end of the day,
I firmly believe it's amazing for kids to see that.
(29:10):
So it's a lot of respect goes to the both
of you really for what you're doing. And it's crazy
to me that you are able to do this. But
if you're passionate about something, it's it's not that it's easy,
but it's gonna happen. You're gonna make it, You're gonna
get it done. One of the things I like to
talk about in the podcast is how I've met the
people or a person who is on the podcast, or
how they were connected to me, because I am just
(29:32):
in love with connections and how they happened. I'm just
I love it. So you we met at it was
an event at Hotel Theaterre here in Seattle. It was
just a sleepover session, it was what it was called.
They were letting a bunch of people try out rooms
and different events, and we happened to be paired at
the same table for dinner, which was just so random, honestly,
and we were talking a lot about what we all
(29:53):
did and what you guys, and I had seen you
on Instagram before. I don't even know how or what
I knew of your company before, And I think maybe
it was because you also had a session at this event.
You guys were teaching people about CBD Anti workshop there.
But I had so many questions for you guys, and
one of the things you told me one of the
stories at night was that you went to college to
be doctors. Was that correct? Because you felt that pressure
(30:15):
coming from an Asian family and you guys to talk
about that and how you said when you both decided
when we were not doing this anymore. Yeah, So so
as many second generation Asian Americans can probably relate to that.
You know, in the Asian culture, your doctor, your lawyer, engineer,
or you're in finance and and those are the categories
(30:37):
that you have. And then if you don't really go
down that path, then you've either kind of looked at
as a failure or I'm not fun but a little bit. Yeah,
this is that this is what you need to be.
And then you know it's increating at such a young
age and um, and it's very prevalent I think in
in the culture and have any interest in science or
(31:01):
anything like that, but I think that actually I think
it's why it's Uh it's helped us with our company
because we really loved the science aspect of it and
really kind of diving deep into the medical research and
understanding it how this our product, how cebet really works
with our body. Um. And you know, we were in premed.
(31:23):
We were in a premed program. Uh, you know through
high school there was like a special program for premed.
You know, we went to and then we went to
Come only for seniors, but we're the only juiors that
we were extremely We're all about being doctors and that
was what we were going to be. And we went
to college and and we had an epiphany, both of
us separately, but we just knew that that wasn't the
(31:45):
path for us in many different ways. So I started
kind of working in finance, uh that was pretty early on,
and I worked up Microsoft for a little bit, and
Hannah had UM she was kind of working on some
other different product project, different things that she had as
far as work goes, because we were working during college.
But we both kind of just realized we don't want
(32:09):
to be doctors, like for the rest of our lives,
but this is something that we felt that this was
not our way. And we had actually an internship or
I don't know if you'd call it an internship, but
it was a job at a surgeon's office, and I
think exposure to that to you and the oral surgery
was um and we're both um Like we were in
(32:33):
that office with the patients and kind of watched the
day in and out and actually was a part of
that and realized this is something that we really didn't want.
But I think what we didn't want though, anything that
that profession, the profession of helping people help, then that's
you know, a bigger part of what we wanted. And
(32:53):
you've gone to that point, you know, you don't have
to do the part of it that you didn't want
to do. You still get to the science part that
you do like, and you've essentially created something that works
for the both of you, which is amazing. I got
into CBD once I moved to Washington in New Jersey.
It wasn't it's just not even and if it is
a thing, like they're just learning and it's kind of
(33:15):
starting from the basics, not understanding, like you guys were
explaining the true and pure CBD versus what even the differences.
So once I moved out here, you know, I had
terrible back pain. It still comes and goes. I started
trying it, but I had I had a little drop
or I did whatever as you call a serving or
dose it. So I had a dose of your seven
(33:39):
a tune, which is the name of your CBD, and
I'm feeling great right now by that, Like my back
was killing me earlier and it doesn't hurt. And that's
not just you guys say it works almost instantaneously correct. Well,
so it really takes so it's been a little bit
of time. Yeah, I mean I didn't like drop it
like three ds ago. It was like an hour ago.
So to talk about for a since your body absorbing,
(34:00):
if you take it and you ingest it, If you ingest,
it's gonna take a little bit more time. He's got
to go through your digestive system a long time is
really Deivelso to like, for instance, if you were the
vape CBD, then it'll just it'll take a very short
amount of time right like ten minutes, right, it will
long exactly. So you're if you need something like I
(34:22):
need feels pain relief right away, then I'm going to
vape it and it's going to be say an hour.
So if you're if you put it underneath your tongue sublingual,
then it'll last about four hours. Uh. And but it'll
also be faster than if you ingest it, so it'll
maybe kick in roughly thirty minutes, like forty minutes, and
then ingesting maybe a little bit longer than that. So yeah,
(34:45):
just kind of break it down and talk about a
feeling UM and Carlo Marie, you can actually it's UM.
So a lot of people have that expectation that you're
going to feel something like when you actually have marijuana,
you know, and it's like I'm fine, yeah, So it
doesn't infect you that way with CBD. I think a
(35:07):
lot of the misconception is is that you're going to
feel something. You're going to feel euphoric, or you're gonna
feel this sense of high or CB doesn't work that
way unless you maybe have a marijuana based CBD which
has a higher level of techc that has a psychoactive
property behind it. And and so you know, if you
(35:30):
I kind of talk about that, and I talked about that,
can I just mentioned really quick because it's not so
in your face, UM, touching on that more. It's um
as if if you have if you have pain, you'll
just noticed throughout the day that you're functioning without that pain,
right right. That is exactly a subtle thing, but you're
but you're just functioning, like Hannah said, and then you
(35:51):
just feel like, ohh wait, I had pain before and
it's not there. So it just kind of comes up
that way. One and what I originally started taking CBD
for pain and I'll never forget this, And I tried
to explain to everyone because they don't understand that it
also works for anxiety. And also, like you guys didn't
really know that I had anxiety or was either over
sensitive or heightened sense of whatever it was. I just
(36:12):
was just that was me. I have underdreaming it's crazy
all the time. Something was going crazy with work last summer,
and I got like, what could have been what could
have been terrible news? There were things that could have
been going on that I should have bawled over knowing me,
And I remember driving going why am I not? Why
am I not panicking? Why am I not? I'm not crying?
(36:32):
What's going on? What's wrong with me? And it took
me like minutes ago, Oh my god, the CBD is working,
and it was it was just keeping me calm and
level headn't able to think and process thoughts. And I
was like, huh, cool, it works. And I explained that
story to people where I'm like, oh, I think yes, yeah,
(36:54):
And that's the response that a lot of people have,
and they're like, is this a placebo effect? Yeah? I
doesn't really working. The sleep of effect. I mean, I
think people do have a lot of expectation going into it.
You know, mentally, if you think about it, it's not
not a bad thing to have a good placebo. Right,
it's working, it's what's working, right, And so I mean
it does work. Like physiologically it does work. But also
(37:16):
having that expectation also helps. Yes, I want to I
want to kind of talk about like the why it
works like a little bit because for I feel like
a lot of people wonder, Okay, well you know, why
does why does it work on anxiety? How does that?
How does that work? Or why do you why does
somebody feel more mental clarity and feel sleepy but not
feel sleepy and you know it's good for sleep. Yeah,
(37:38):
so we have it's honestly just like you know, the
end of the day, it really there. There is a
lot of science, um that's in research out there that
it's continuing to happen um too. There's a lot more
research that is happening just because you know, it has
been legalized since December eighteen. Um. You know, there was
(37:59):
a there was a hole back on getting that research funding,
funding and things that sort, um. But you know, our
it's a high neuroprotected in it has extremely high protectant
neuro protectant, and it has very high antioxidant and anti inflammatory. Okay, yeah,
keep in mind that we use me and everyone who
(38:21):
listens to this podcast. I'm generalizing right now. I have
no idea what you're saying. Okay, So so when I
talk when I say that it has a high antioxidant
and high anti inflammatory properties. The c b D is
cannabidi all and it's a molecule property inside the hemp plant.
So it has a in the hemp plant versus the
(38:42):
marijuana plant. The hemp plant has a higher level of CBD.
In the marijuana plant, there's a higher level of th HC.
And they're both main players in cannabis. In cannabis, and
I want to clarify. I'm sorry to jump in because
I think it's one of the things that a lot
of people ask us is, Okay, what's the difference between cannabis, marijuana,
and hemp. So, so that's cannabis. So hemp and marijuana
(39:06):
live underneath umbrella of cannabis. There's just subspecies. Okay. And
you think about it this way, marijuana more t hemp.
You guys are info graphic of this somewhere on Instagram
that we're working on more info graphics. But it's just
us and we are not graphic designers. Can't help you.
We do our best working on it. Working on is
(39:29):
extremely important and so you know, UM, with that, you know,
going back to like how it's working with your nervous
system or anxiety. Uh so and I had talked about,
um it being high and antioccident anti inflammatory properties. Um,
you know those when you think of uh sarahtnin or
you think of different chemicals in your body that combat
(39:50):
stress or those and what does that even mean is
that when there's different chemicals in your body that it's
like that is kind of disturbing the the stability of
your cells, then um, then your sales can be compromised
to kind of change. And that's there's a lot of
studies that kind of show you know, with stress, you
(40:11):
hear stress causes cancer. Maybe you can't say just it
causes cancers, but yeah, and that could be a better
way to say it. It's more so that your body
when it's under a high level of stress, you release
these chemicals that are doing damage to your cells. And
so there's other chemicals that combat that and so and
that have antioxidant properties to not oxidate the cells. And
(40:35):
so with that said, you know, CBD has a higher
level of these properties to combat the stress on your body.
But it's also unique in that. But I do want
to say that it's higher in anti accident and anti
inflammatory properties then the vitamin C and vitamin E that
and govern the government, the National Health Institute actually supports
this and there is a patent from the government that
(40:57):
actually states that it has higher intoexident properties than what
we a lot of consumers right now use to combat
stress and have you and then push you know, really
vitaminting vitamin C see that all over the place. They
actually even the National Dustry of Health also said that potentially,
so CBD has a potential it's very powerful that um
(41:21):
it could potentially be therapyic to all diseases in humans
and mammals. What this is an actual government has documented that.
So you know, that's pretty powerful that for them to
actually put it on paper and to say and to
state that claim and to state even that there is
(41:42):
that potential for this plant. And you're touching on that
like briefly, but because there is a system in our body,
the end of cannabinoid system that the the CBD, the
plant CBD or feto cannabinoids from the hent plant that's
in our oil is me you ingest it. You're actually
supplementing the deficiency that you might have that system, your system,
(42:05):
and also encouraging to produce more. And in that process
you're interfacing with other other systems in your body, so
your immune system, your reproductive system, or system you're nervous
system especially right, So all these stone for to help
with epilepsy and seizures. So I mean just to kind
(42:25):
of back up in our inno cannabinoid system. We have
receptors all of our body. We have a huge amount
in our brain, We have them in our gut, we
have them in a reproductive system, we have them in
our spine, all of our skin. And so when you
introduce CBD to to the system and you're helping with
the deficiency, helping your body create more of what you
what you need. There are also modulating enzymes that help
(42:48):
with like for instance, this is why it helps with pain.
It helps your body to recognize what it needs up
or down. So so it's so cool, it's really fascinating
and such a unique plant because one it can be
a supplement to help boost your immunity, your immune system,
but then also talks to pain, talks of sleep, toxic
(43:08):
anxiety in such a powerful way. No, this is all
it's fascinating to me, Like how it works, why it
works normally, just like it works. I don't care how. Yeah,
but it's really cool when you find our heart. It's
almost like our bodies are supposed to be taking that.
And so okay, yeah, so I mean one of the
popular popular but one of the most well known cann
of annoids. Also, um, this is a good example, is
(43:30):
in a nanomie, So nanda body creates a body creates
a nanomine which is like known to be the bliss hormone. Um,
that's what makes you feel the runners high. For instance,
it's found in embryo. Actually yeah, and it's a cannon annoid. Uh.
And so it's that it's it's a pretty powerful when
it's in your system, when it's in your body, when
(43:51):
you have high levels of a nanomide, when you feel
that sense of bliss that may be attributed to your
body having higher levels of a nanomine. And it's something
that our body naturally creates. Now we have a compound
that's identical, that's in as a botanical that we can
ins and and and ours isn't process in such a
(44:13):
way that we're stripping the plant right sore. It's processed
in a way we want to want to held the
full benefits of the plant. So it works synergistically with
all the different compounds. There's over a hundred thirteen different
cannabin noise and um, yeah you know, and and hundreds
of other compounds found in the plan and and they
all work together, right so and you're gonna get a better,
(44:35):
more therapeutic benefit from it. So okay, So I know
there are a few different ways to take CBDs, but
even a tune like you can put it topically, you
can put it in your drinks to put it right
under your tongue. Before we go today, I want each
of you to explain the ways that you individually specifically
use a tune. So a couple of different ways that
I use it right now, Yeah, this is Susan is
(44:58):
so uh you know. One is I put it in
pretty much like all my drinks in the morning, so
whether it be latte or tea, but in the mornings.
My actual ritual is that I will take it sublingoly,
so I'll put it underneath my tongue and hold it
for about thirty seconds or as as long as I
can because it starts dissolving. But I do put it
(45:19):
in my drinks, and then I also put it in
my skincare regimen because of the anti inflammatory and antioxidant property. Face.
It's amazing because again those anti inflammatory properties and again
and Hannah had mentioned that we have these receptors in
our skin, UM, so it's really helped with like rosatia,
acne Zamam Hannah, And I think I had mentioned U
(45:42):
that you know I had acne because of my changes,
and you know I don't have it anyway, which I
wish I could show you. It's insane, but you know
really that it's it's inflammation inside that's actually coming out
and manifesting on the outside. Right. So I'll put it
in my skincare, I'll put it in my drinks UM
(46:04):
and at night, I'll take about fifteen milligrams at night
underneath my tongue to just to help me sleep every night.
It's when she it's when I need it or I
but I like to incorporate into my daily routine in
the mornings every single day. So Ham, and then how
are you taking a tune CBD every day? So similar
(46:24):
to Susan, I'll take it UM in my latte's in
the morning and generally UM. Like she mentioned, I like
to take it sublingly, so either right before breakfast, UM,
I'll take that. I'll take about ten milligrams, depends on
how how much I have to do that day, how
how anxious I'm feeling about the rest of the dayy,
so it could be a little bit more. And I
(46:47):
will also use it for sleep occasionally. I don't use
it all the time, like every day for sleep, but
I do take CBD every day like Susan does as well.
You know a lot of times it's like even I
had a little bit of an accident UM earlier this week,
and I'll use it on the like my my scrapes
and my pain that I have. And she fell off
a bird. Unfortunately, I was like an animal, like I
(47:11):
was trying to be a crane. So I was. I
did one of those scooters and I had this big
bump very well, and then I just want lost control.
I could and I was just off of it and
I falling as an adult. So my goodness, I woke
up the next day to just in a lot of pain.
(47:32):
But I obviously use came fairly very handy. I actually
put it on that and uh, you know, I at
times like when these are super painful, even even though
I know it works, I still had that. Yeah, and
I'm still have that will it work? You know that
(47:52):
that question? And I put it on and then like
it really is just it's unbelievable that I'm like, I
don't feel this pain and just put it on it
ten minutes ago. I mean, it's so it's a little
bit different like fine grain as far as like how
it works in your body and how everyone's going to
be different. Yeah, yeah, well everybody is different and also
worse differently than differ Adville a title and it works
(48:14):
completely in a different way, completely different system. Yeah, I
love it. I'm gonna say I'm really excited for people
to try it, and even the skeptics, Like, if you
convince your dad that it works, even the skeptics listening
