Summary

For those of you who feel like you just don’t understand CBD at all, this episode should fix that. For today’s show, I'm chatting with Matt Lombardi and Kevin Moran, the co-founders of Beam, a company that makes CBD products for wellness, rest, and athletic recovery. Both former pro athletes, Matt and Kevin have similar stories about unexpectedly departing from their sports, Matt with hockey and Kevin as a pitcher for the White Sox. For episode 96, we talk through the hard times that followed that — both of them feeling a bit lost and unsure of how to pivot to the next chapter. We also talk about how the once-college acquaintances became best friends and ultimately, business partners. These guys are hilarious, their enthusiasm is contagious, and their stories will motivate you to get up, get out, and push your comfort zone.

in our values. As a result, Beam signed on to sponsor some of the episodes on the pod, which is

why the brand might sound familiar. Also, after this

episode was recorded, that's when I myself really dove in head first to their product portfolio,
