  • The Industry Born Podcast S2 E3: Tracee and Greg with Cryo Cure
    Apr 27 2023

    Title: CEO
         A visionary known for her “wow” factor and steely determination, Tracee artfully blends impressive industry experience and moxie with a passion for cannabis medicine.
         Tracee brings a lively flair to all undertakings, sharing her intuition, awareness, and experience in a style all her own. By envisioning, developing and executing products across new market sectors, Tracee’s diverse business background offers her a unique perspective to build and thrive in the cannabis industry.
         Prior to founding Cryo Cure, Tracee spent 30 years in the consumer products sector, discovering, manufacturing, and selling innovative products to a global audience. Throughout her successful career, she has built multi-million-dollar brands brought to market through channels such as QVC, HSN, Goodyear, Famous Amos, Warner Brothers, Phillip Morris, RJ Reynolds, and Lorillard.

    Greg Baughman Bio:
    Title: President, Head of Cultivation & Extraction Artist
         A caregiver, cultivator, and innovator, Greg made the leap into the fast-growing, ever-evolving cannabis industry in 2014, relocating from Ohio to Michigan to become a medical cannabis caregiver and cultivator.
         Since changing careers from music production – he previously spent 10 years as the CEO of Trump Tight Entertainment – he has cared for dozens of patients, aiding those with conditions such as multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, and opiate use disorder.
     
        Working closely with testing laboratories in Michigan, Greg has identified the unique profiles of his own cannabis strains, allowing him to apply each strain attribute to his patient’s conditions accordingly. As the head of cultivation and extraction of Cryo Cure, Greg applies his thorough and intricate strain knowledge to developing Cryo Cure’s patent-pending process.

    Company Bio:
         Cryo Cure revolutionizes the cannabis drying and curing process, influencing every step of the cannabis pipeline along the way.

         With global patents pending, Cryo Cure’s patented technologies and methodologies skip the hanging phase of drying, where human error can spoil a valuable harvest. The system dries and cures cannabis in as little as 24 hours, drastically cutting processing time from weeks to days. The resulting product is light, fluffy, and aromatic, with trichomes and terpenes intact and flavor profile preserved as if at the height of freshness.

         The consumption experience is elevating and euphoric, because the Cryo Cure process stabilizes compounds and prevents degradation into delta-9 THC and CBN, the cannabinoids which cause the “couch lock” effect.

  • The Industry Born Podcast S2 E8: Cody Callarman with Zitro Farms
    Apr 27 2023

    Cody Callarman:
    A Marine Veteran that dropped everything I had to build the hemp/cannabis industry in South Carolina. 15+ years in leadership and 12+ years as a business owner.

    Zitro Farm's is South Carolina's premium indoor CBD flower cultivator. We started out our journey in 2020. In the years since hemp farming has become legal, we saw that South Carolina is lacking indoor-grown CBD flower. Cody, our founder, saw the problem and decided to create a lifestyle around addressing the issues that the hemp industry is suffering from.
    Cody has personally seen the positive effects of CBD and medical cannabis over the overtly prescribed opioids, pain killers, and the infamous cocktail of pills many military veterans succumb to. From family members to veterans, we have seen lab-made medicines devastate and change their lives for the worse. After introducing and teaching the benefits of the hemp and cannabis plant, we have seen our loved ones completely stop their abuse of drugs that were legally prescribed to them. 

    Everyone deserves to have natural, healthy, and organic medicine. Zitro Farms will advocate for the fight to have medical-legal cannabis in South Carolina. While also setting the standard for how hemp should be grown, sold, and distributed to South Carolinians.
