About This Episode Before creating CBD beauty brand Cannuka, Founder and CEO Michael Bumgarner's idea of skincare was "a bar of Dial soap, Vaseline, and lotion." Fast forward to today, and Bumgarner is the man behind the largest CBD beauty launch in the world with brand partnerships at Ulta Beauty, Neiman Marcus, and 2000 other retail doors. In this episode, Bumgarner revealed it was a background in farming that led him to discover the power of cannabis and see its potential to be a game-changer in the beauty world. "I got interested in beauty because of my passion for industrial hemp. I identified beauty, specifically skincare, as a wide-open space where we could get a product on people's skin and show them the benefits of cannabis so they'd want to learn more about the plant and why it's effective." In This Episode You'll Hear - How Cannuka is reintroducing cannabis to consumers - The scaling process in a competitive and rapidly growing industry - How hemp can bring jobs to rural America - Cannuka’s unique formulation and future expansion Resources From This Episode Cannuka on Instagram | Cannuka Site Madame Blue on Instagram and LinkedIn | Office Chats on Instagram Share The Podcast The Madame Blue community has been so incredible sharing our podcast with others, and we thank you!
