Maria + Jane: Women In Cannabis Business

This week I’m talking to Laura Beohner, Co-Fouder of The Healing Rose Co. Based in Massachusetts, The Healing Rose Co handcrafts hemp-derived CBD infused body care products in small batches using natural and organic ingredients. They combine organic herbs and essential oils with hemp-derived, 100% THC-Free Phytocannabinoid Rich Hemp Oil with only high quality organic butters & oils. All body care products are made with care in Andover, MA. In our chat, we dig into: The inspiration for her company’s name (hint: it's doggy-related); We talk about the company's process of taking an idea to inception; How Laura and her co-founder Zack learned about formulating organic skincare via an online course; Ways in which they kept the company lean so they didn’t have to take on investors; How creating standard operating procedures and staying organized has contributed to the company's success; Withstanding the ups & downs of entrepreneur life while wearing a gazillion hats and working 90+ hr weeks; And more!  __
