Matt Talks Hemp

Hope you enjoy this conversation with Cantrip Seltzer Co-Founder, Adam Terry!  

Thank you for listening!

Thank you for watching!  

This week Matt interviews Chelli Stanley,  founder of Upland Grassroots. Chelli is working alongside members of the Mi’kmaq tribe and researchers to see if hemp can play a role in remediating the contaminated soil and water at the former Loring Air Force Base in northern Maine.   

This land is contaminated with PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals” that were present in fire fighting foam used in training exercises on the base. These chemicals are also found in many products that are used on a daily basis by the majority of people in the US. Research around these chemicals, and their impact on the human body and our environment, is still nascent, but hemp seems to be a promising solution for cleaning up contaminated land.  

They discuss the history of Loring Air Force Base, the widespread PFAS pollution that has recently been discovered in Maine, some of the challenges Chelli has had at Loring, and her advice for people who might want to start a remediation project of their own.

This week Matt interviews Amos Lozano, a San Antonio TX based entrepreneur dedicated to spreading the benefits of hemp with his community. He is the founder of Famous Juice Company, Emjayze Hemp Pre-Rolls / Apparel, and has his own podcast called "Eat Plants, Move Often".

In this episode Matt interviews Kirsten and Karl Sutaria, Founders of Wonderlab's Doozy Pots - hemp based gelato. We learn their background stories, what eventually lead them to starting the company, why hemp is a great option for plant based gelato, and more about their general experience starting and running the business.

This weeks guest is Michael Battaglia, Founder of Cousin Hemp. Michael started Cousin Hemp in 2020 after seeing the impact of large scale agriculture first hand in Iowa. He knew hemp could act as a more responsible solution and set out to get hemp foods in the hands of more people across the country. 

Cousin Hemp's flagship product is Hemp Crunchies, a delicious combination of roasted hemp seeds and unique seasoning blends. They are available online and in select stores in TX in the following flavors - Austin BBQ, Salt & Pepper, and Creole Spice.
