Deposit That

It feels like the world is moving much faster today than it used to, and people are looking for ways to slow things down a little bit and be more present in their life. We are experiencing a lot of stress and anxiety, and balancing our work and wellness becomes tougher every day.

Jonathan tested the calming effects of CBD on himself, and seeing how beneficial it could be to people, he decided to start making beverages that contained CBD.

In today’s episode, he explains to us everything there is to know about it, he debunks the myths according to which CBD gets you high, and he shares his super interesting story of how he got to be the market leader in this industry by keeping transparent and having people’s best interest at heart.   

Jonathan Eppers is the CEO & Founder of VYBES, a wellness beverage crafting organic drinks made with Hemp CBD (Cannabidiol). VYBES has helped pioneer an emerging new category of functional beverages focused on addressing well-being & mind + body function. Prior to VYBES, Jonathan was the CEO & Founder of RadPad, an end-to-end rental marketplace that made finding a place, signing a lease, and paying rent much easier. Jonathan made the switch from tech to CPG after he began using CBD to help with his own anxiety and believed CBD could help a lot more people, if only it was available in beverage form, which led to the origins of VYBES, now one of the category leaders.
