Chris talks to Shayda Torabi, Co-Founder and CEO of RESTART CBD, Austin’s first locally handcrafted organic CBD wellness brand founded by two sisters, Shayda and Sydney Torabi.
Shayda was trying to recover from an auto-pedestrian accident in Austin when she was first introduced to the health and wellness properties of CBD. During that time, she encountered the frustration of finding quality organic hemp products from trusted suppliers. Coming from a family of athletes, living in Texas, she wanted a legal product with Zero THC. Realizing very few pure products existed in this market, with the help of her family she decided to create her own.
Chris and Shayda talk about the evolution of the CBD and Minor Cannabinoid industry, what’s on the horizon for the hemp industry and what goes into running a “Cannabis” shop in Texas.
