Tell us about Ignite
This is a passion product. The cannabis industry is interesting because it's not some big business you can just jump into; you really have to understand the plant. There are many different strains and effects. I want to educate people so they can use it in a way that's a positive experience.
How long have you been working on this business?
For two years. This is something I'm building from the ground up, it's mine and I'm hands-on. I want to build the first global flagship brand in the Cannabis industry.
