Don, CEO of PurePower is a father of three, author, wellness advocate and ultra endurance athlete. A former trial lawyer of nearly 20 years, Don’s legal career included service as an Assistant District Attorney, litigator at a prominent Colorado law firm, and in-house corporate lawyer at a Fortune 500. As a corporate lawyer, Don became a nationally recognized expert in the areas of electronic data retrieval, analysis and management. Subsequently Don founded and served as CEO of Falcon Discovery, a legal consulting and tech services firm serving the Fortune 500. As CEO of a rapidly growing, multi-million dollar firm that handled some of the highest profile legal cases in the country, he experienced intense pressure and stress 24/7. Following years of prolonged burnout, Don finally hit the wall in 2012. After what he can only describe as divine intervention and a newfound inspiration to become a better father and leader, Don overhauled his diet and began running ultra endurance trail races in the Colorado Rockies. He incorporated hemp and other plant extracts into his new health regime, and developed a series of performance practices to advance his recovery, regain balance and sustain high performance. With these changes nearly everything in his life turned around, and Don’s business and personal life flourished. Within months his running distances doubled and tripled, and he completed his first 36 hour, 100 mile race on the Continental Divide in Colorado in 2016. Likewise his business blossomed like never before, and he subsequently sold Falcon Discovery and stepped down in 2017 to inspire and support others with the lessons that he learned. To this end Don is finishing work on his first book, which will be published in early 2019.

As EVP of 4Front, Brandon oversees the company’s expansion in key markets like California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan and Washington. He has implemented a low-cost CPG production and distribution strategy and is charged with building wholesale relationships at each of the company’s state-of-the-art facilities – including the 170,000 sq. ft. facility in Commerce, California, which is now what we believe to be the largest cannabis manufacturing facility in the world and has been referred to as a unicorn in cannabis manufacturing.

With his strong entrepreneurial and C-Suite background, Mills brings expertise in corporate strategy, operations, technology, product and data in both public and private operating environments. Island >>> 4Front After operating Island Cannabis for nearly seven years, Brandon and co-founder Ray Landgraf – now the president of operations for 4Front’s California operations – were looking to scale the Company’s operations. With more than 20 brands, 1800 products, and the vision, platform and team to execute strategy in key markets across the U.S., 4Front was a perfect fit. Island was ultimately acquired by 4Front in Q2 of 2022. Brandon’s experience with Island and other C-suite roles position 4Front for success as the cannabis market continues to mature and evolve. Commerce Manufacturing Facility 4Front Ventures’ 170,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility, located outside of the City of Los Angeles, is now what we believe to be the largest, most efficient processing facility in the world. Through the facility's fully automated machinery, it can produce approximately 100,000 edibles, 12,000 pre-rolls and 9,000 vape cartridges per shift – a level of scale no other manufacturer has been able to achieve. This allows brands to get in front of California consumers without a huge CAPEX bill hanging around their neck. 4Front also has a distribution partnership with Nabis, a fully-licensed cannabis wholesale platform with the largest portfolio of cannabis brands in the world, which supplies 100% of California’s dispensaries and delivery services.

Inesa Ponomariovaite began working at age 10 years old. When her mother was forced to take work in another city, Inesa was left to care for her siblings alone – at an age when most children are still learning how to take care of themselves. As a young adult, Inesa made a visit to the United States and decided to stay, settling in the Chicago area. After 4 years Inesa’s health had completely deteriorated. A victim of domestic violence, she was ravaged by disease, infection and constant pain. Eventually she landed in the emergency room. She was so ill that she remembers nothing until waking up days later in a hospital bed. . She recovered and returned to her Chicago home. But soon afterwards she found herself out on the street, alone and homeless... left with nothing but the clothes on her back. Even worse, she received a call from her mother that she is dying from Cancer. Inesa's journey to heal her mother took her to a personal connection with cannabis that healed her mother and eventually herself. Nesa's Hemp is developed with that principle in mind. Organic and live hemp that is meant to heal. Check out this episode and our Lithuanian connection.

I love the idea of self-healing. Tapping into your own power and interrupting patterns that might be on autopilot. Dr. Dave Rabin MD, PhD is a board-certified psychiatrist, neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and inventor who has studied resilience and the impact of chronic stress on our lives for over 15 years. Dr. Rabin and his team collaborate with clients at the Apollo Clinic, empowering clients to take control of their mental and physical health by tapping into our abilities to adapt and heal ourselves. In addition to focusing on integration therapy, plant and natural medicines, couples therapy, and medicine-assisted psychotherapy, Dr. Rabin specializes in treatment-resistant mental illnesses including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), psychosomatic disorders, personality disorders, chronic pain disorders, insomnia, and substance use disorders using minimal and non-invasive treatment strategies. MORE ABOUT DR. RABIN Dr. Rabin invented the Apollo wearable, the first scientifically validated performance and recovery enhancing device that improves the body’s resilience to stress. By training the body to relax and recover, Apollo can help you sleep, focus, and tap into a healthier and more productive version of yourself. Stress triggers our “fight-or-flight” response and makes us feel like we’re in danger. The Apollo technology signals safety to the brain to interrupt the “fight or flight” response when it is undesirable by sending soothing vibration patterns to the skin reminding us that we are safe and not actually under threat. It’s like a wearable hug for your nervous system that uses silent, soothing vibrations to rebalance your body and mind.
