Most successful professional accomplishment before cannabis: Co-founded a sustainable clothing company, had the 3rd highest-grossing Kickstarter campaign at the time (in the fashion category) and went on to build a 100% USA supply chain — from the cotton farm in Georgia, knitting, and garment dying in North Carolina, sewn in Tennessee — fulfilled in Cincinnati.
Company Mission:
Goldleaf values science, pleasing design, and education. Our mission is to create universal access to cannabis research while cultivating individual, community, and environmental wellbeing.
Company’s most successful achievement:
We were the first to create guided journals specifically for cannabis cultivation and tracking medical therapy. We have since iterated on these initial designs and are now highly regarded for our dedication to accuracy and quality of information. Due to our approach to content creation — valuing vetted research and primary sources — we’ve garnered a stellar reputation for accuracy and integrity. This has led us to get a great deal of mainstream media attention.

Most important company 5 year goal:
