46
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: That's I didn't realize it was named after you like that.

47
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: It is named after me and my three partners. So

48
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: when we were trying to come up with a name,

49
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 3: we wanted something that was more unique but really represented

50
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 3: who we are. And Autumn is harvest and a brand

51
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: is a brand, so Autumn and my three partners last

52
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: name is brand. So Autumn Brands was born.

53
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: And I love the story which we're going to get

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: into about this company and Han who started it with

55
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: this you know the farm there, I should say, started

56
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: as a flower farm. But how did you become part

57
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: of this? They're the family. You come in and you're

58
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 2: the first name, they're the second name. That's that's awesome.

59
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: How did you? How did you do this? Well?

60
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: I was Hans's CFO for his cutflower business. He had

61
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: gone through bank before I arrived and started working for him,

62
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: and I was able to really bring his business back

63
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 3: in the black. But he got an opportunity to lease

64
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: out some of the greenhouses to cannabis to somebody else,

65
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 3: and through that process he realized that his kids weren't

66
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: going to be able to be part of that company,

67
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: and he saw what I could do, and I wasn't

68
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: going to be part of that other company as well,

69
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 3: because they already had a finance person. And so he said,

70
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: why don't we start something. My kids are going to

71
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 3: graduate from college in a few years. They could join

72
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: us then and let's see what happens. He's like, can

73
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: you keep me out of jail? Because in that time,

74
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: it was prop to fifteen days, so we were still

75
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: looking at helicopters flying overhead and not quite sure if

76
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 3: somebody was going to be knocking out a door or not.

77
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: So, Autumn, let's just jump right there into the story.

78
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that you were working with him when

79
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: he was part of this fifth generation farmer that comes

80
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: over here from Holland how did you guys even meet?

81
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: Because I know he started with a small farm, obviously,

82
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: and it grew into something what it is now.

83
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was well, he was a cuff flower grower

84
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: for over thirty years on that property, and he also

85
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: had another one in Watsonville, and unfortunately he had some

86
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: bad crops and so that's what kind of led him

87
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 3: into bankruptcy in the Watsonville property. And then we got

88
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: the opportunity to switch over to cannabis. We really kind

89
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: of like waited out. He'd never smoked cannabis. He was

90
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: actually very much against it. I've always been a huge

91
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: proponent of cannabis, and so it took a lot of convincing,

92
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 3: but eventually he gave in.

93
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: That's funny, what does that type of conversation look like?

94
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: Because you got this old timer out of haul In

95
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: and he's a little older than you, he could probably

96
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: be your dad as well. And you look at a

97
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: guy like that that you're working with and working for,

98
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 2: and then you're saying, like, what I mean, the farm

99
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: goes down and bad crops, which happens for any type

100
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: of crop whatever you're doing. I don't care if you're

101
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: doing lettuce. And then to see the booming cannabis industry,

102
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 2: how does that even conversation come up?

103
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 3: Well, that point, like I said, it was still the

104
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 3: prop two fifteen days, but we definitely saw the writing

105
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 3: on the wall for where it was going to be headed.

106
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: And so it was convincing him that the cup flower

107
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 3: industry was never going to be profitable really again, I

108
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: mean with all the competition from South America and so

109
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 3: going towards this new industry that's going to become legal

110
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 3: here in California in a couple of years, this was

111
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 3: an important move for him.

112
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: And you guys already had the greenhouses.

113
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: We already had the greenhouses. So the beautiful part about

114
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 3: being able to switch over from cutf flowers to cannabis.

115
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: We literally grow the same way. We grow in the

116
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: same growing medium, the same growing systems, and so it

117
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: was actually pretty affordable for us to be able to

118
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: just change over the crop until we had to go

119
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: through the permitting process, of course, and then it got

120
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: extremely expensive.

121
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: Wait, tell us about that, what do you mean?

122
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,559
Speaker 3: So we we were grandfathered in since we started growing

123
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: before a certain time in Santa Barbara County, and so

124
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 3: we are able to grow and when we transitioned over

125
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 3: into cannabis and into the regulated market in twenty eighteen,

126
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: we were able to go through the permitting process at

127
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 3: the same time. It took four and a half years

128
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: and over two million dollars and we're still in it.

129
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: They're still they're coming up with new things that now

130
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 3: we have to underground utilities because we had to get

131
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: a certain permit. You know, they've come after for so

132
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: many different things, and so it's been really challenging in

133
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: that way. But for us, luckily, we already had the

134
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: infrastructure in place and we're you know, they're Dutch, so

135
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: they're frugal. I'm a very conservative finance person, so I'm frugal.

136
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: So it has allowed us to really you know, stay

137
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: the cores and do really well for ourselves.

138
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: And when that happens and you guys do that, how

139
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: big is the facility that you guys have there?

140
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 3: We currently have five and a half acres of cultivation.

141
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 3: There's still another person who leases the property on the

142
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: other side, but the entire properties around twenty four acres.

143
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: Wow, So is it like armed security too? And everybody crazy?

144
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: Like where you guys did go from being worried about

145
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 2: a gopher coming in too? Now we have cannabis growing here.

146
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 3: We definitely have high security all around, you know, probably

147
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: one hundred cameras on the entire property for every single corner.

148
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: But you know, I feel like we've been really lucky.

149
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 3: We haven't seen any crime in our area for cannabis.

150
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 2: So but we're and that's what's crazy too, because that

151
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: area is known for a lot of big farms. Now,

152
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,559
Speaker 2: were you guys one of the first ones.

153
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: We were one of the first ones to switch over.

154
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 3: But back then too, when we did start, no one

155
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: was talking about it. Everyone was just kind of doing

156
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 3: it because.

157
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of illegal and there still is

158
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: a lot of illegal grows out there. Let's just call

159
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: it what it is. We know it happens. You know it,

160
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: You got friends out there, if you live out there.

161
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: I mean it's facts are facts folks at Santa But

162
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: if you don't know, you're listening to this around the

163
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: world going Santa Barbara. That's what they have out there.

164
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: They have a lot of land out there in California.

165
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: It's not the big cities that you think, oh it's

166
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: in California, it's all city. No, it has a lot

167
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: of land out there and mountains and things where you

168
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 2: can grow stuff out there. So when you guys open

169
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: this up, and do this. How did his family look

170
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: at that? I mean, he has the two young kids

171
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: that now they're in the business. All of you, all

172
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: the son and daughter now are part of the family

173
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: business and you there and his wife at the time

174
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: are still his wife. Now, how did that conversation go?

175
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: Is it like, you guys are gonna grow weed? I

176
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: mean he wasn't even a smoker.

177
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, we didn't tell people, I think for the first

178
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: couple of years, and then once we did, everyone was

179
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 3: actually really accepting. They understood it. And his brother actually

180
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 3: also has a cannabis farm as well.

181
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: Oh really, So.

182
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: The conversation with the parents I think was pretty easy

183
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: at that stage, and they understood, you know, the economics

184
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 3: of it and being able to make more money and

185
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 3: a better opportunity.

186
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: And now it just seems like as I was looking online,

187
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: it was a beautiful looking in house grow. You guys

188
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: are doing all pesticide free, non spray. I feel like

189
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: you guys are doing the extra stuff that some people

190
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: don't do. What does that quality come from? Like? Okay,

191
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: I mean did you guys do that with the regular

192
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: plants that you guys were growing as well?

193
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: We did it so before with the cuff flowers. We

194
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 3: certainly sprayed pesticides and we and we used an Integrative

195
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: Pest Management Program IPM program, so we also had good

196
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: bugs that we'd buy in. But about five six years

197
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: ago we started doing some research and really realizing that

198
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 3: while you can wash your lettuce, you can't wash your weed.

199
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 3: And we really feel that even organic pesticides can be

200
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: really harmful to our bodies and we want to provide

201
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 3: the most natural product we possibly can. So we decided

202
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: to make that shift. And it was a hard shift.

203
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 3: Thousands and thousands of plants, don't get me wrong, but

204
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 3: today we have this incredible ecosystem in our greenhouse is

205
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 3: because of it. And one day we saw these ladybugs

206
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: and we post them, and ladybugs are a pretty special thing,

207
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: you know, just generally. But then a professor from UC

208
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: Santa Barbara reached out to us and said, do you

209
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: know what you have? And we said ladybugs and she goes,

210
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: those are native ladybugs. You can't buy those in there's

211
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: you know, for those to come into your greenhouse means

212
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: your ecosystem and your greenhouses are just perfect because there's

213
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: always a food source. And we do we have hundreds

214
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: of thousands of ladybugs that continue just to populate and produce,

215
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 3: and their little baby larvas or what eat one hundred

216
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 3: ef it's a day. So it's been an incredible process

217
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: for us to see what we've been able to accomplish,

218
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 3: and we really do think this is the future. Just

219
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 3: like conventional agriculture moved to organic, I feel like organic

220
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: moves to pesticide free.

221
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: That's awesome that you guys were able to figure something

222
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 2: like that out and you just didn't even know that

223
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 2: you guys are doing it. It's like, oh no, we're

224
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: just kind of doing the right thing, and this builds it.

225
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 2: When that happens in that ecosystem forms, it's more like

226
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: the natural ecosystem of it. It's just keeping it right

227
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: and safe in the environment's doing what it's supposed to do.

228
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, exactly, And all these farmers still buy in

229
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 3: like good, good, beneficial insects, but then they spray the

230
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: next day and then you just kill everything. So also

231
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: from an economical standpoint, you're just wasting money, you know,

232
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 3: So being able to really help the environment, make sure

233
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: that our consumers know what they're getting, and you know,

234
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: making it you know, better quality and better economics.

235
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 2: And as you say, what the consumers are getting, I'm

236
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 2: looking at it. You guys have flower, you guys have

237
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 2: pre rolls, you have wellness products and different strains. Talk

238
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: about some of these different strains that you guys have

239
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: and the different products. I know you have a few

240
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 2: up here on the table.

241
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, so we have kind of separated ourselves into

242
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: this is our hybrid line. That's our Indica line, which

243
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 3: is more of the purple and blue, and then the

244
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: Sativa line is this kind of light light blue and green.

245
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: And so we actually rebranded ourselves again last year. We've

246
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: done it a couple of times because we really like

247
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: to listen to what the consumer wants and what they need,

248
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: and so we really wanted to put more of our

249
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 3: messaging on our packaging as well and then make it

250
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 3: really clear for the consumer. And so we do also

251
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 3: have these icons that shows our special Lady Bugs that

252
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: were women owned, family owned and sustainable first. So like

253
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: all our products right here, everything is either reusable or recyclable.

254
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 3: So we have the glass jars, the lids on all

255
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 3: the jars are all backyard compostable. The tins are all reusable,

256
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 3: the pre rolls are all compostable, and so that's really

257
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: important to us. And then we have our wellness products

258
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 3: as well. So we have this topical that we spent

259
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 3: over two years developing, which is my passion project that

260
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 3: I'm just so proud of because it's amazing and it works.

261
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: And so it's a one to seven cbd t THD

262
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: ratio that has magnesium and arnica and this just incredible

263
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 3: refreshing aroma to it. And it's and it's vegans, so

264
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: there's no there's no bees or any edny other products

265
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: like that in there. And so and it works. It

266
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 3: is incredible for pain relief, it's incredible for leg cramps,

267
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 3: it's incredible for rashes. So and anytime anyone gets this product,

268
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 3: they just are blown away.

269
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: I can't wait. I want to see what that's your

270
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: one that you're in the jar right here?

271
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's right up over it's right up over here

272
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 3: in the middle. Okay, that one is our elixir. So

273
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: we have two elixirs, and these were really focused towards

274
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: people that have cancer. So we have a Warrior elixer

275
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: to really for them to be able to fight against

276
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 3: cancer or someone that just really likes to get high,

277
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 3: so that one's a thousand milligrams of THHC and and

278
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: then we have the thrive elixir that we develop for

279
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: people that really need help with sleeping. And so that's

280
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 3: really was key for some of our family members that

281
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: needed something, and so we decided to put something like

282
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: that out and that's a one to two. And then

283
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 3: that has also helped me. I was actually diagnosed with

284
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 3: an autoimmune disease, and it was the one thing that

285
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: did help me and where I was able to learn

286
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: also then how to my I took a little too

287
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 3: much the first time because I was I was actually

288
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 3: going to go for an MPR interview, I had some

289
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 3: other meetings that same day that I was fully nervous

290
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 3: about it, and I took a few too many drops

291
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: and got a little too high, but I was fine

292
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: and I got through it. And then after that I

293
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: learned how to really microdose it and really kind of

294
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 3: help my symptoms for my autoimmune which is pretty amazing.

295
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 2: Isn't it crazy how you realize once people could use

296
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: these different medicines for these different elements like that, but

297
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: yet how you can mess up. But go, oh shit,

298
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: I didn't mean to do that much of the drop

299
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: under my tongue right now.

300
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 3: I'm like, only took five drops. My husband's like you

301
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: took ten.

302
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: You're like, well, this is going to be a great

303
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: interview over here on NPR. Fantastic and so and then

304
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: I also see you guys have anti inflammatory creams and

305
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: rubs and muscle and joint saves.

306
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that was the topical that I was mentioning earlier.

307
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 3: That's the one to seven ratio that is just, yeah,

308
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: incredible for all sorts of things on your body. And

309
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: we didn't want something that was a solve because we

310
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 3: didn't want something that was too thick, like a lot

311
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: of topicals you like stick your finger and it gets

00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: We try to change our strains every quarter, so we're

350
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: always bringing in new genetics to keep it fresh. We

351
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 3: sometimes keep our tried and true ones like the wedding

352
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: cake we've had for a number of years, but I

353
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 3: think it's really important to always get something new and

354
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: exciting for people. But you know, but we're also because

355
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 3: of where we grow next to the coast, and because

356
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 3: we're pestive side free, we don't and we don't spray anything.

357
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: We don't spray for for molds or anything like that

358
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 3: we control and we just we take care of our

359
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 3: plants as naturally as we possibly can. That only certain

360
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 3: genetics will grow wealth in our in our greenhouses, so

361
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: we're very picky about what we will we buy in,

362
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 3: and we're also picky with the new nurseries that we

363
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: work with for j edits.

364
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: So it's like a high end boutique style grow where

365
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: it's like Okay, we're doing all this great. We're doing that.

Speaker 2: Autumn Brands dot com is the website and as I

381
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: was looking Autumn at the website, I think this is

382
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: so great that you guys do a wellness bundle. What

383
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: is this wellness bundle exactly?

384
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: It includes our salve and our two elixers, which really

385
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 3: can help you in multiple different ways. So where the

386
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 3: topical is something that's really kind of the more external

387
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 3: part that really is great for pain relief, for helping

388
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 3: you sleep as well. I rub it on my neck

389
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 3: every night or for any type of rashes or exima

390
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: or anything. My child has xemus, so.

391
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: So does Mott. Well he did, and we used to

392
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: rub creams on him too. That's so funny that you

393
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: say that.

394
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: And it's been amazing because I refuse to use a steroid,

395
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: so this has been an incredible thing to be able

396
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 3: to help him with that as well. I also get

397
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 3: Laate cremps in the night, so like a wake up

398
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 3: and put that on. Boom. I'm all better.

399
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just had ankle surgery not too long last

400
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: year exactly. I'm still recovering from it. I mean I

401
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: can work out, I just can't lift off my right

402
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 2: ankle yet still, but I can do with both feet.

403
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: But it's still I'm still rubbing creams and shabs on

404
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: myself all the time.

405
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 3: I have to get you one of these times.

406
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I gotta try this surge right now. So

407
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 2: I love everything that you guys are doing there, How

408
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 2: you guys are doing it. It sounds so amazing. But

409
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 2: then as I look at who you are, right, I'm like, okay,

410
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 2: let's talk a little bit about autumn. You got your

411
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: BS and psychology with a minor and Italian at UC

412
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 2: Santa Barbara. So are you born and raised out there

413
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 2: in Santa Barbara County.

414
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 3: I was actually born in a house in Carpentaria with

415
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 3: hippie parents. My parents met in a commune in Santa

416
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 3: Barbara back in the seventies, and actually my husband's parents

417
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 3: were also in that commune. We met at one of

418
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 3: the reunions we were teenagers, but I didn't grow up there,

419
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 3: but I always I grew up in west Lake Village,

420
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 3: not too far.

421
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: In the valley.

422
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so then I went back for UCSB and

423
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: never left except to travel a couple times. We moved

424
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: to Australia for a couple of years.

425
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 2: But what took you to the land down Under?

426
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 3: Well, my husband then boyfriend at that time, he was

427
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 3: already planning on going on a trip, and so I

428
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 3: kind of invited myself along and we spent a year

429
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 3: traveling around Australia and then came back, got married, so

430
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 3: we want to go on another trip. So we took

431
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: a sixteen month honeymoon through Australia and South America and

432
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: Cuba and Mexico. Is incredible.

433
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: How fun is that?

434
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 3: Yeah? You can ever take it away? Now that we

435
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 3: have two kids, and how old are your kids? I

436
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 3: have a seven and a half year old boy and

437
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: a three and a half year old girl.

438
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: Oh, the four year different? So I have the twenty

439
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: three year old, and then I have a ten year

440
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 2: old and an eight year old, So yeah, exactly, Well

441
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: the twenty three year old is one of those fun things,

442
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 2: and then you know the other ones are with my

443
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: wife now, so it's just a great but it's the

444
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 2: kids are great? How do the kids now? And you

445
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: deal with that at that school level? Is it like, oh,

446
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 2: that's the cannabis mom or how does that look and

447
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: work for you guys there in Santa Barbara. Is it

448
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: kind of all part of the industry now and it's

449
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 2: open or is it still a little taboosh?

450
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 3: It's actually been really a lot of support, Like they

451
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 3: asked me, I give gift baskets and let people come

452
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: for farm tours from the school. I've met other families

453
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 3: and parents and they're like, we've been using your products

454
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 3: for years, so they already knew about me, which is

455
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 3: really incredible. So so I'm really been appreciative. I'm still

456
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: not quite sure. Sometimes there's certain families that I'm sure

457
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 3: they're like hmm, because I certainly have my sticker on

458
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 3: my car, So it's it's quite a parent that I'm

459

Speaker 3: you know, autun brand. Yes, and there are certain people

460
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 3: that still are against cannabis, but for the most part,

461
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 3: you know, there's just been nothing but.

462
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: Some important is the school allowing you to use like

463
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 2: a gift basket for fundraisers yet? Yes, yes, dude, I'm

Speaker 2: these brands that I've been trying to do right And

468
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 2: it helps the brand? Why because the people at the

469
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 2: school are seeing that brand, they're using that product, going

470
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 2: oh my god, this helped me because let's just face it,

471
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 2: it's going to help them right, whether it's edibles, creams,

472
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: rubs or whatever it is that you're doing. And they

473
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: won't do it, but they'll do the wine wall event,

474
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: they do this event, that event, all around alcohol, but

475
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 2: they won't allow me to contribute to my kids school

476
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 2: like that.

477
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 3: They got to be more open. So yes, I'm very

478
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 3: grateful my school, my son's school is very open to

479
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 3: it and it's been that's awesome here.

480
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't realize that's something, you know. I mean

481
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 2: I've seen it. You see gift baskets around and obviously

482
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 2: I'm sure when you had your gift basket, everyone's like,

483
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: oh arm brands, Oh hey on them, I see you.

484
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: We're bidding on that. That's the way she should be

485
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: at every school. And at this point I agree, I

486
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 2: mean every school when they have fundraisers, they're raising money,

487
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 2: they're using the alcohol, they have the full bar, they

488
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 2: have this and that. But it just hasn't hit that

489
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 2: whole social Everyone should be able to.

490
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 3: Do this yet brete the stigma.

491
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: It is weird that that's going on right there. So

492
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 2: a little bit about this brand right here that I

493
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 2: love too, that you know, the whole family gets involved.

494
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: We have Han and then Hannah, that's the daughter. Correct, Yes,

495
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 2: and Hannah's has also went to cal Pauly San Luis Obispo.

496
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 2: What does she do exactly for the company. She's this

497
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: sales officer, so.

498
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, she oversees all of sales. She was managing our

499
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 3: warehouse and all the employees inside the warehouse. But her

500
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: real true skill set is sales, even though she's studied

501
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 3: agriculture and so she knows a lot about plant science.

502
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 3: Where her older brother is our head grower and he

503
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 3: was he studied agriculture, but more business side. So they've

504
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 3: kind of switched what they do in the company.

505
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 2: But and that's Johnny, right, And that's Johnny.

506
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. And it's been so incredible to have them to

507
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 3: come into the company because they bring in a whole

508
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 3: new set of skills that Hans and I don't have.

509
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 3: And that's what's great about the four of us is

510
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 3: that we have all different sets of skills that we

511
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 3: can bring to the table. We never step on each

512
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 3: other's toes. We just appreciate each other and then ask

513
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 3: the questions and kind of help the light bulbs go off.

514
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: And it's allowed us to continue to grow together and

515
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 3: be really successful together.

516
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: I think that's great because in my opinion, there's nothing

517
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: better than a building a foundation like Hans came out

518
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 2: and built with the Flower Company, and then you being

519
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 2: an early part of that working there recreating another company,

520
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: which is part of the story. I didn't know that

521
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 2: that's how that happened. And then to bring as kids

522
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: as they were growing up because they were too young

523
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 2: to get involved in the Flower Company. It's his face.

524
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 2: And then they get into cannabis, which had to be

525
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: so quote unquote cool. Feel you know what I mean?

526
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 2: As these middle aged teenagers then becoming adults graduating from

527
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: college and now you have a full on farm out

528
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 2: there that's making amazing quality products, and it's like you

529
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: guys are I would consider this and correct me if

530
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: I'm wrong. More of a higher end product because of

531
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 2: the pesticide free and everything else.

532
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 3: Correct, correct, Yeah, we definitely focus on making a very

533
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 3: high quality product. All our plants are hand picked, hand trimmed,

534
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: hang dried, and we do it at an affordable price.

535
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 3: So we're not the cheapest brand on the market. We're

536
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 3: not the highest price brand, but we really try to

537
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 3: make this as high quality as possible at an affordable

538
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 3: price for consumer.

539
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 2: That's why I was shocked even looking at your guys'

540
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 2: website to be honest, right here, that's why I said, oh, wow,

541
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 2: that's affordable. I was thinking that the ace we're going

542
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 2: to be a lot heavier than the cost right there.

543
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 2: I was looking at twenty eight dollars eighths for God's sakes. Yep,

544
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 2: that's like as great as it gets right there.

545
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's why.

546
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: That's what the delivery service folks from, not the retail.

547
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 2: If you're going somewhere, I'm sure the retail might put

548
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 2: that up a little higher at certain stores that you

549
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: guys are at. But to order from your website in

550
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 2: Los Angeles and in Orange County to get delivery, you're

551
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 2: looking at twenty eight dollars as.

552
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 3: We should be around there too in most dispensaries these

553
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 3: days as well.

554
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, wow, we're that's very competitive.

555
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: So that's what I'd like to be, like, to be

556
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 3: competitive and be fair, but really provide a top notch

557
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 3: product that's better for the consumer.

558
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 2: And it's funny because when I seeing this brand and

559
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 2: was mentioning it to the staff, a lot of people

560
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 2: didn't really know about it, and then we looked into it, going,

561
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, oh that's that one. That's that one

562
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: and it's starting to make more noise. Are you guys

563
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 2: starting to do more advertisings more marketing? What are you

564
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 2: guys doing for that?

565
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 3: We do do a lot of marketing. We do a

566
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 3: lot of articles, podcasts like this. We really like to

567
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 3: be able to educate and get out there as much

568
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 3: as possible and really tell us their story and who

569
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 3: we are. We are, we're more of We're not a

570
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 3: small farm, We're not a huge massive farm. So we

571
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 3: put marketing dollars that make sense for us. We believe

572
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 3: in really an ROI and so we measure everything that

573
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 3: we can do and so really understanding and learning more

574
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 3: about the consumer and what they want.

575
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 2: And I love this with you guys because it's family owned,

576
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like we said, the two

577
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: kids you coming in with the business. Uh. The stores

578
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: that you guys are located at. Where's the where do

579
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 2: you guys dominate at?

580
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 3: Uh? Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. We definitely are a

581
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 3: majority of Northern California tends to be a little tougher

582
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 3: since a lot of them, like they're like a lot

583
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 3: of the flower from like the Emerald.

584
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: Triu bin Skis and yeah, yeah, yeah.

585
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 3: But certainly we are all throughout the throughout the state

586
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 3: of California, and.

587
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 2: I think it's tough for a lot of brands to

588
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: you know, be a local one like this and to

589
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: dominate the whole area. It's more like, dominate where you're at,

590
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: because everybody knows you and Santa Barbara. You live there,

591
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 2: you get married there, and now, oh, Autumn Autumn has

592
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: Autumn Brands, and the family, the kids went to school there.

593
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: I would imagine it does great there because of that alone,

594
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 2: and then you got to just branch out from.

595
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 3: There, and we do, and we have a great following

596
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 3: in Santa Barbara. We love to do a lot of

597
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 3: farm tours for people, show them, you know, what we're

598
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 3: all about and who we are and so and we've

599
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 3: been doing this. You know, we started the brand in

600
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 3: early twenty eighteen, so we've been doing this for a

601
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 3: really long time. We've definitely rode the wave through through

602
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 3: how it's kind of adjusted. We were one of only

603
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 3: thirty brands on the shelf and in twenty eighteen when

604
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 3: the market kind of changed and the lab testing change,

605
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 3: and so we've kind of seen this kind of roller

606
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 3: coaster ride throughout the process. But we're really proud to

607
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 3: still be here. It's been a tough couple of years

608
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: for sure.

609
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hold so many companies. Yeah, and as you say that, autumn,

610
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 2: so many people listening going what are some of those

611
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 2: trials and tribulations that you guys had to go through

612
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: that you're like, oh, my goodness, if we would have

613
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 2: only did this or they had to learn that, what

614
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 2: are some of those experiences, because let's just face it.

615
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: I was just even talking to another lady before this

616
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 2: show who works with the City of Los Angeles, and

617
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: it's just tough to help people out when so many

618
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: things change all the time, you know what I mean,

619
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 2: And it's like you're doing one thing and it's like,

620
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 2: wait a minute, just like you said earlier, when okay,

621
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: now we've got to have pipes that are down below,

622
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 2: we have to have this and that. What are some

623
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 2: of those things that you guys had to learn?

624
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 3: That is the key change change, Change continues to happen,

625
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 3: and the only way you're going to survive this is

626
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 3: to be able to pivot and pivot and pivot. And

627
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 3: so that's what we've been able to do. So. Yes,

628
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 3: we started out transitioning into the regulated market. That was

629
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 3: a huge, huge jump for us. I spent a lot

630
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 3: of time at the state level working with the regulators

631
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 3: and at the local level working with the regulators. I

632
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 3: was not good at political science and high school or college,

633
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 3: but somehow I got thrown into this whole political element

634
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 3: of it and I've gotten good at it, which is

635
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 3: a pretty good feeling as well. So really helping the

636
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: state design their regulations that works for a farm with

637
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 3: multiple licenses like ours, working with the county to understand

638
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 3: what as a farmer, as a grower need what we need.

639
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 3: But still we're still battling over regulation and over taxation.

640
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 3: But I've gotten involved in a local association and carp Growers.

641
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 3: I was the president of that, and we had to

642
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,239
Speaker 3: fight against the anti cannabis groups and that was a

643
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 3: big struggle in twenty twenty one and helping them understand that,

644
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 3: you know, we're all, we're family, and we're trying to

645
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 3: make a difference here and we're trying to grow a

646
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 3: really incredible product, and so, you know, trying to go

647
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 3: through all that and that was when I was going

648
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 3: through this whole autoimmune and.

649
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 2: You're right, you guys, I am growing medicine. This is helping

650
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 2: me out literally physically, emotionally, mentally with pain, like all

651
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 2: these things that it's okay for the doctor to give

652
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,719
Speaker 2: me pills and no one's going to bitch about this.

653
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: But yet, my old serge, my kidneys are going to

654
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: suffer in the long run, my coal and for God's

655
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: sakes and everything else that I have to deal with internally.

656
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: But you guys are going to bitch and complain about

657
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 2: this cannabis. You said, I'm growing myself pest aside free

658
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: and everything else. It's crazy when people have it backwards

659
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: like that.

660
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 3: It's been been a really difficult journey in that sense,

661
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 3: for sure. But now I'm also I'm on the board

662
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 3: of the California Cannabis Industry Association. I'm the treasure of that,

663
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 3: so really kind of helping get more politically involved to

664
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 3: help the regulations at the state level and make sure

665
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: that our industry continues to thrive.

666
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,360

00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: company like I said, once I've seen, I said, I

703
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: guy is cool, you know what I mean? I was like,

704
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: this guy, this company is exactly the American dream. A

705
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 2: guy from not Switzerland, where's he going? Holland comes to

706
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 2: this country damn near on a boat problem and literally

707
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 2: creates the American dream. Starts a flower business that goes

708
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 2: bad bankruptcy, has problems, and then he moves the cannabis.

709
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 2: It's like, this is the American dream of what a

710
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,239
Speaker 2: company does and is.

711
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been pretty incredible journey for him and for

712
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 3: his family and his wife also is as for Holland

713
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 3: as well, and she came over when she was one

714
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 3: and so for them to be able to meet and

715
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 3: come together and then have these two incredible kids. It's

716
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 3: been pretty incredible.

717
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 2: It's just a story, like I said, that touched my

718
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 2: heart from the beginning of it. I'm looking at this

719
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 2: story going, this is the type of company, folks that

720
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 2: you want to support because they're doing it right. Everything

721
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: you guys seem to be doing and you guys have

722
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: been winning things, doing things. Are you guys? How many

723
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: licensees do you guys have? Exactly? I know you said,

724
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: is it four or five licenses you guys have?

725
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: We're at of fifteen licenses now, fifteen licenses, so we

726
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 3: have cultivation license, a nursery license, a process a license,

727
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: and a distribution license as well.

728
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 2: Wow, So are you guys white labeling for anybody as well?

729
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 3: We've talked to a couple of different brands about white

730
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 3: labeling labeling. It really has to make sense. But but

731
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 3: we are working with one right now.

732
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 2: Oh nice? Is it open for the market to reach

733
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 2: out to you guys are not really sure? Obviously, everything's

734
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 2: always on the table to talk right on the table.

735
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys have this boutique style, great way

736
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: of doing cannabis, and it seems great I mean, I

737
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: haven't seen any complaints right over two hundred stores right now,

738
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: and you guys are self funded as well.

739
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 3: We are self funded, So that's something we're really proud

740
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 3: of that we've been able to really hold on to

741
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 3: and really just be able to utilize our own money

742
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 3: and that way we still always have control and whatever

743
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 3: we're doing, and we don't have to respond to somebody else,

744
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 3: and we can grow within our means. And that's what's

745
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 3: really key for us, is to be able to just

746
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 3: grow as we feel like we can grow and not

747
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 3: overextend ourselves.

748
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 2: And what do you guys see next for the company?

749
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 2: Is it trying to branch out more or is it

750
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 2: going to different states or you guys just good where

751
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 2: you're at right now and capitalizing on the market here.

752
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 3: I think for this year we're kind of holding steady

753
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 3: just due to the volatility of where the market's been

754
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 3: and really kind of us holding, you know, holding it out.

755
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 3: We're just we're so grateful still to be around. We're

756
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 3: watching farms and brands just go out of business left

757
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 3: and right, but this has always been a long term

758
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 3: plan for us to be here, so you know, yes,

759
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 3: definitely we want to be in other states. We want

760
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 3: to do more, We want to have more products. So

761
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 3: you know, as we continue to grow, we will will

762
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: definitely be expanding.

763
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 2: Is there R and D on products you guys are

764
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 2: working on now, like the gummy lions or food lines

765
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 2: or anything like that.

766
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 3: We have another pre roll line, dog Walkers, which are

767
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,600

00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 2: hits and boom you're done.

772
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 3: Those are perfect and especially during I think COVID days

773
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 3: as well, where people didn't really want to share anything anymore.

774
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 3: Love to get back into the vape world when we

775

776
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 3: course it was vape crisis and all these regulations changed

777
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 3: and so we haven't gone back to that. I think

778
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 3: we'd love to collaborate. We collaborate with Select on a

779
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 3: great one, but now they've left the West coast, so

780
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 3: we're looking at other other businesses to kind of collaborate

781
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 3: with on different products.

782
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 2: And that's great, and there's how many how do you

783
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 2: know this random question how many cannabis brands and companies

784
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 2: are there in Santa Barbara.

785
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 3: In Santa Barbara, well, we have Glasshouse right next door

786
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 3: to a specific stone on the other side of us.

787
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: Glasshouse is like the biggest in the world for God's sake.

788
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've gotten quite big, which is funny because we

789
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 3: both like started, you know, together, at the same time

790
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 3: with the brand and kind of watch them just kind

791
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 3: of We've.

792
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 2: Got Kyle on the show a couple of times.

793
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know Kyle very well, but

794
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 3: I know Graham really well.

795
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 2: Well, Graham's there all the time working there. Kyle just

796
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 2: flies in and out to show face. Yeah.

797
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think there's probably about, you know, ten

798
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 3: to twenty brands. A lot of the ones in North

799
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 3: County Santa Barbara have kind of gone out of business

800
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 3: as well, just because it's so it's been so difficult

801
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 3: with growing outdoors. But it's a pretty carpentary is a

802
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 3: really special area to grow and we're proud of our

803
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 3: community and our colleagues.

804
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 2: And not only that, like I said in the intro,

805
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 2: the weather is perfect out there, and you guys have

806
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: this area that just grows tremendous can. I mean, you

807
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 2: got the Humboldt County out there. Of course, you have

808
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 2: Santa Cruz and you have Santa Barbara. And I think

809
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: it goes in that order in my opinion. I mean,

810
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 2: as I look at and think of the cannabis that

811
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: I've had, I go, you know, you're gonna get the

812
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 2: best at Humble, You're gonna get the best at Santa Cruz.

813
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 2: And then we're in California Santa Barbara, and it goes

814
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 2: in that order.

815
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 3: And Santa Barbara's is a special place people love to

816
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 3: come and visit and tour and to be able.

817
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 2: To Oprah has a house out there. For God's sake,

Speaker 2: you get it from?

833
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 3: First time I tried cannabis, I was seventeen and I

834
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 3: got it from a friend. I remember catch finding like

835
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 3: a joint rolled up in my dad's sleeping bag when

836
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 3: I was eleven, and so I was kind of anti

837
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 3: until that point. But then a friend handed me a

838
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 3: joint and I was like, okay, I'm ready.

839
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 2: Oh really, and this is in Santa Barbara. This was

840
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 2: in this was West West Village. Oh so the valley weed.

841
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 2: Go ahead, that's funny. What's your friend's name? Do you

842
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 2: put them on a blast?

843
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 3: You're gonna keep that little secret exactly.

844
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 2: I want to see if you would, okay. Question number

845
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 2: two of the high five, what is your favorite way

846
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: to use cannabis?

847
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 3: I certainly am still old school. I love to smoke

848
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 3: a joint, and I love the topical or the elixirs

849
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 3: as well, but I love to smoke a joint go

850
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 3: for a run, like that's like I just like.

851
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: Go to run. It's funny that you say topical, because

852
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 2: I think that's my favorite way too. I have to rub,

853
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: I rub my body. I rub it on my body

854
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 2: every day. Yeah, and I use CBD under my tongue

855
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 2: every day. So it's like that's my favorite well because

856
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: I use it every single day that way. I'm still

857
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 2: rubbing stuff on my inner thigh after our worked out

858
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 2: my ankle, the out ankle. It's like, it's crazy that

859
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 2: you see how these products work like that.

860
00:36:58,239 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 3: It is really incredible, and I.

861
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 2: Think a lot of people don't even realize that. Sometimes,

862
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 2: even those are the smokers that are using it for

863
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 2: medicine round shoulder pain, neck creak, they don't realize they're

864
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: using more of that than just smoking a joint sometimes.

865
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 3: And our topical is great because it's really approachable. You're

866
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 3: not going to get high from it, but you do

867
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 3: have has magnesium in it as well, so it really

868
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 3: helps with those kind of joints and aches and pains

869
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 3: that you have as well. So there's just a lot

870
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 3: of a lot of different benefits in one way.

871
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't wait to try that. Question number three

872
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 2: of the high five automn Where's the craziest place you

873
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 2: ever used or smoked cannabis.

874
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 3: I don't know about the place. I mean the place

875
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 3: was Westlake Village, but I remember smoking a five foot

876
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 3: bong standing up on this curb and it was just

877
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 3: it was the craziest experience ever. I was just I

878
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 3: got so high, but someone's down there like lighting it

879
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 3: for me, and I'm just up like on top of

880
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 3: a mountain basically, and it was it was insane.

881
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 2: That is so funny that you say that you just

882
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: took me back to being at SDSU nineteen ninety two,

883
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 2: I believe, or no, no, nineteen ninety actually, and I'm

884
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 2: hitting the five foot bong for the first time and

885
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 2: it's just like you're right, your buddy's light down there

886
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 2: and you're all right, snap it, and then there goes

887
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 2: your kidney and your liver and your lungs all down

888
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 2: on the coffee table. Oh yeah, that's a fun time. Though.

889
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 3: It was fun.

890
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 2: That is a fun time. The experiences of smoking cannabis

891
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,239

00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 3: joint with me and hear all about her stories in life,

933
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 3: that would be incredible.

934
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 2: Oprah is one of those good ones that we never

935
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 2: hear a lot about on the show. I don't think

936
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 2: anybody's ever said Oprah to kind of think of it, knowing, huh,

937
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 2: I don't think so. And you know what, Oprah is

938
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 2: one that's interviewed so many of the biggest names. I mean,

939
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: she's like a Barbara Walters, for God's sake. So when

940
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 2: you go back to old school interviewers, and it doesn't

941
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 2: matter men are woman I mean you know, I mean,

942
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 2: she's just one of the classic OG's of the storytelling,

943
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 2: of inspiration, of just knowledge, and she lives by where

944
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:23,959
Speaker 2: you're living.

945
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 3: No, she's right there. She could she could just come over,

946
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 3: I can sit down, we can talk about it and

947
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 3: smoke a joint. Come on, oprah.

948
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 2: I mean those are like realistic ones that you might

949
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 2: be able to smoke with. So it's not like far out.

950
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 2: You just hung out with those other two dudes, oh close,

951
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 2: so close, and the event you didn't smoke with them,

952
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 2: you didn't pull out out.

953
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 3: And no, not at that event, I didn't get a

954
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 3: chance to kind of moving around but.
