kind of dig into it so you guys just uh let it rip thanks Jeremy we're pumped to be here thanks for

having thanks for having us man um so i guess this let's go back to the beginning with this so matt

and i met at boston college um we were friends there there for the four years that we were there. I left early, played professional baseball for a number of years with the Chicago White Sox organization. Unfortunately, I had a number of injuries, blew out my shoulder, both my knees, my elbow. I had Tommy John surgery. That career ended a little bit quicker than I initially thought it would. That's rough, dude. That's rough. I had, yeah, once I had the first one, I was kind of made a glass moving forward. So anyway, stopped a little bit sooner than I initially thought. Matt and I, like I said, we were good friends the entire time. Matt played professional hockey after college for a number of years, had his own set of injuries. Some bad concussions. Nice.

Concussions and knee injury, ankle injury. So we were kind of beat up at a young age and

got very into the wellness space after that. I've done a couple Iron Man's, a bunch of marathons,

a bunch of crazy stuff like that. And Matt is also very fit in his own right. And like I said,

I've always been interested in the wellness space and started trying

And I think very long story short, we looked at the market and saw an opportunity to, you know,

how could we bring a product to market that was true to our personal values as athletes is something

we want to put in the bottle and represent to the world?

And then also build a really beautiful consumer brand around it that people can kind of trust and see the compassion behind. So I don't want you want to add anything. Yeah, the interesting thing, when we first started using CBD, we're training for a marathon together and my knees were bugging me, ramping up all this running. and I remember you were sleeping while you're stressed out about work and all these other things.

Life, yeah. you know my knees were bugging me ramping up all this running and i remember you weren't sleeping while

you're stressed out about work and all these other things and life yeah life was happening and uh

we were trying a bunch of different products and we we found just like when you found a quality

quality CBD it really held to we just became pretty obsessive about it and passion about wanting to
