The Bald and The Brave

Back in December 2024, we had the pleasure of hosting Steve Ivanoski, better known as Dr. BeeWell. He’s a former pharmacist turned wellness entrepreneur based in New Hampshire, known for his locally sourced honey and THC-infused products. Steve’s all about holistic healing, mental wellness, and community, and he brings those themes to life through his brand and the Dr. BeeWell podcast. It’s been over six months since that episode, but his message still sticks.

This episode, Craig is joined by guest co host, Greg Gilbert, with Desmond Smith in the hot seat.
