Will Kleidon, CEO, Ojai Energetics & Chairman of the California Hemp Council joins Enterprise Radio to discuss the science and technology behind the cannabis business and what it can mean for our future.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Will Kleidon discuss the following:

* Ojai Energetics is described as a triple bottom line-driven cannabis technology company. What does that mean?

* Tell us about the history of hemp/CBD.

* You are billed for cracking the CBD code by creating the cleanest and most effective CBD-rich hemp products on the planet. What differentiates your process?

* What are the different use cases for CBD-hemp oil?

* Can you ship everywhere at this point? How will cannabis legalization impact the business?

* Your patent portfolio is robust, can you share a little about your plans in energy storage, life sciences and space travel?

* What have been some of the keys to your success to growing your business?

Will Kleidon is an award-winning pioneer and futurist in the hemp and cannabis industry. He is known for cracking the CBD code by creating the cleanest and most effective CBD-rich hemp products on the planet. Will is the founder of Ojai Energetics, a triple bottom line-driven cannabis technology company.

Ojai Energetics are the creators of Super CBD Hemp Elixir, the most effective delivery system of CBD on the market. OE Super CBD uses the most bioavailable and advanced micellular encapsulation process to safely improve the solubility of cannabinoids, using only certified organic ingredients, to encapsulate the oil in water. In doing so, the brand makes analgesic and anti-inflammatory CBD, the non-psychoactive component of the cannabis plant, at least 10 times more bioavailable than fat-soluble oil. In fact, just 250mg of OE water-soluble CBD provides the equivalent to approximately 5000mg of other CBD oils. Super CBD Hemp Elixir is the only full-spectrum, water-soluble CBD oil made without synthetics or synthetically modified compounds.

Will has collected one of the most interesting executive boards in the world that includes famous athletes, doctors, and well-connected members of the entertainment industry.

Featured in Cheddar, MSNBC, Forbes, Inc, Money, Entrepreneur, The LA Times, and a regular keynote at the Cannabis Forum and Bevnet, Will is a subject matter expert when it comes to the art, science, and technology of the cannabis business, the history of hemp, and what it can mean to our future.

Regenerative Systems

Will believes hemp is a major catalyst for aiding humans to create regenerative systems that will help us live in symbiosis with the planet.

Hemp has over 40,000 uses from soil to unique contributions and positive inputs for our ecosystem’s regenerative health. It can clean contaminated soil, build healthy soil, help sequester C02, and transition us from petroleum and plastics to hemp-based supercapacitors.

Bronwen Sciortino, an International Author and Simplicity Expert who spent almost two decades as an award-winning executive before experiencing a life changing event that forced her to stop and ask the question ‘What if there’s a better way to live?’ joins Enterprise Fit Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Bronwen Sciortino discuss the following:

* Health & wellbeing has been a billion dollar industry for decades now, but the statistics show that the health of individuals all over the world is in serious decline. With an unlimited supply of health information literally at our fingertips, how is this possible?

* What is it about health and wellness that makes people roll their eyes and keep doing all the things they’ve always done, despite knowing that they’re unwell and that they need to make some changes?

* So many of us have such good intentions to make changes and look after our health differently at the beginning of every year, but it seems to get waylaid so quickly. Why is this and what gets in the way of us being able to put our health first?

* Taking a serious look at our own health seems to only come about when we’re faced with a traumatic event or have a serious health scare. Why is it that these things are the trigger and how can we make changes without this having to happen?

* There’s been a significant rise in the occurrence of diseases and conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, auto-immune disease, heart attacks and strokes in the last decade, and it’s happening to people at a much younger age now. Is there a link to the modern way of living and what can we do to make sure we’re not affected by these things?

* What’s the easiest way for people to start looking at where their health is, without it completely overwhelming them?

Bronwen Sciortino is an International Author and Simplicity Expert who spent almost two decades as an award-winning executive before experiencing a life changing event that forced her to stop and ask the question ‘What if there’s a better way to live?’
