Summary

Paige Figi spent years trying to find a treatment for her young daughter, Charlotte, who was diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome – a serious form of epilepsy – and suffered from frequent seizures. Because none of the traditional pharmaceuticals and treatments were reliable or successful in reducing and helping Charlotte’s life-limiting condition, Paige researched alternative therapies, discovering a type of hemp extract that had no major side effects or psychotropic effects.

Ms. Figi started giving Charlotte a natural, non-intoxicating, therapeutic hemp extract with low-THC and high-CBD that reduced her daughter’s epileptic symptoms and seizures from hundreds per week to less than three per month.

In 2015, she founded the Coalition for Access Now, a 501(c)4, to help other families in similar circumstances provide relief to their children. The work of Paige and the mothers in the Coalition for Access Now led to passage of CBD access laws in all 50 states.

This episode is sponsored by a company I've used for well over a decade, and that is 511.

I wore their uniforms back in Anaheim, California, and have used their products ever since.

0:11.1

From their incredibly strong yet light footwear to their cut uniforms for both male and female

0:17.4

responders, I found them hands down the best workwear in all the departments that I've worked for.

We have MRF coming up in May.

And again, I bought their plate carrier.

0:39.7

I ended up buying real ballistic plates rather than the fake weight plates, and that has been

0:44.6

my right or die through Murph the last few years as well.

0:48.2

But one area I want to talk about that I haven't in previous sponsorship spots is their

0:52.2

brick and mortar element.

0:54.1

They were predominantly an online company up till more recently,

0:57.6

but now they are approaching 100 stores all over the US.

1:01.5

My local store is here in Gainesville, Florida, and I've been multiple times.

1:06.0

And the discounts you see online are applied also in the stores.

1:09.9

So as I mentioned, 511 is offering you 15% of

1:14.0

every purchase that you make. But I do want to say, more often than not, they have an even

1:19.6

deeper discount, especially around holiday times. In fact, if you're listening to this in the months

1:25.2

of April or May, 5-11 days is coming up.

1:29.5

Between May 9th and May 16th, you will get 20% off all gear and apparel, and that applies
