"If you have a foundation of good products and good people, more of the world needs to hear about it." -Mike Fata

Hemp is now considered a superfood! Hemp has a very high nutritional profile and offers plenty of health benefits, including being high in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber content.

A lot of the misconceptions around hemp is associated with it being closely related to marijuana. However, unlike its counterpart, hemp doesn’t contain enough THC (0.3%), the chemical compound responsible for getting high. Rather, it is high in Cannabidiol (CBD), a phytocannabinoid that helps in easing symptoms of many health issues including pain, inflammation, and a wide range of neurological disorders.

Inspired by his own personal health transformation, Mike Fata co-founded Manitoba Harvest, one of today's global leading manufacturers and brands of high-quality hemp food products. Weighing over 300 pounds, Mike took decisive action to change. He focused his diet on fiber, protein, and healthy fats— all components of hemp. Amazed by his results, Mike made it his mission to spread the word about the power of hemp to as many people as possible.

In this episode, Justine and Mike talk about the health benefits of hemp, where to get trusted resources, the foundation of a successful business, what it's like to sell your business, and how the shift in narrative is gradually changing our current food system for the better.
