A
I was opiate addict for 15 years.
- [00:02]
B
Wow.
- [00:02]
A
Homeless. My kidneys weren't doing well from all of the opiate abuse. And I started looking into ways to make myself better. After years of addiction, I was sober, but I was not having the quality of life that I could have. But if you wake up in the morning and you do not have energy, that's a problem. So I started looking at what hemp actually has in it, which is a ton of cannabinoids, cbd, and CBG together. All of a sudden, I didn't have the pressure in my head anymore. What I'm doing in the cannabis space now is I'm serving people the way I serve myself. The only way start to get people to realize that you can heal your body without pharmaceuticals is to put it in front of them. Holistic therapy will start to spread like wildfire.

B
All right, guys, today I got someone who's going to be spitting a lot of game in the health, wellness, spirituality space, the cannabis space. He's also a real estate investor. I got my man William Oyo in the building. What's up, William?
- [00:55]
A
What's up, Richie Rich? How you doing, dude?
- [00:57]
B
I'm doing amazing, bro. How are you doing?
- [01:00]
A
Doing good, man. I like San Diego.
- [01:01]
B
Yeah, I think it's.
- [01:02]
A
I think it's a beautiful place.
- [01:03]
B
Yeah, dude. So break it down real quick, man. So you got. You're in the cannabis industry, a couple of retail shops. You got a wholesale. Wholesale shop. You're also a real estate investor. And then now you're also rolling out the. Rebuild the human.
- [01:16]
A
That's it.
- [01:17]
B
Which I'm excited to talk about today, man.
- [01:18]
A
Yeah, dude, so.
- [01:21]
B
So drop some game on me, man. So you came into the office this morning, and I'm see, I'm seeing you hold this copper bottle.
- [01:28]
A
Yeah.
- [01:28]
B
And you're drinking out of it. And you're telling me this. You're on this hydrogen game, which is like the new. The new thing. What is the hydrogen game all about?
- [01:36]
A
So hydrogen water. Hydrogen is the smallest molecule, and it can get into every single cell in your body. So the first thing you're going to notice are hydrogen water is a lot more energy. You might be going to the bathroom a little bit more than you want to initially, because it does clean you out, and it cleans you out because of the way that hydrogen sits in your body. So you get that hydrogen water ready. This is what you're speaking of. This is actually a rebuild the human copper mug, but it's about two years old. I wanted to do rebuild the human about two years ago, but I didn't have the time. So the copper is an energy conductor. If you look up copper, that's one of the reasons why all of our energy lines are copper. If you go outside, you're going to see the trains that they. They run off the top there. Yes, that's energy.
- [02:22]
B
Okay.
- [02:23]
A
That's copper.
- [02:24]
B
Okay.
- [02:24]
A
So when you drink out of copper, it brings you energy, and it's also an antimicrobial. So some people, the west Western world, tends to run off of coffee. As you move up in frequency and elevate your frequency and energetic, you know, inside your body, you start to realize, you know, coffee will cause a crash. Sometimes it causes some health problems, sometimes it doesn't. It all depends on where you're at in your life. But if you move up an energetic frequency, you're gonna notice coffee is probably going to not interact with your system correctly. That's why this exists. About two years ago, I couldn't drink coffee anymore. So I get up in the morning, I get my hydrogen water going. I always put spring water in there, alkaline water, all this other stuff. In my opinion, it's all game. You know what I mean? It's all game. They're adding stuff in it. Like, why you got to add anything into water? It should just be pure spring water coming out of the ground. So spring water, hydrogen water, put it in the copper container, and then you put salt in it. Because we're salt beings. Put Redmond sea salt in it. Or find another really good salt that has the minerals in it, because that's what you're trying to get. The body's made up of over 100 different minerals.
- [03:37]
B
Okay.
- [03:37]
A
Salt gives you quite a few. So that's the game, bro. So this is my coffee.
- [03:42]
B
I got to be honest, man. The only time I. I've drank out of copper is when I'm having a. A Moscow mule or a vodka mule.
- [03:49]
A
Yeah, yeah, that's all right.
- [03:51]
B
Yeah.
- [03:51]
A
Well, why do you think they put it in copper? Give you a little bit energy, give
- [03:55]
B
you that little jolt. Give you that little jolt. Okay. So I'm gonna have to try this game sometime. Hydrogen water, little salt, and a copper bottle, man.
- [04:02]
A
Yeah. You can buy it all from Rebuild the Human.
- [04:05]
B
Okay. I like that. Rebuild the Human. So you talked about with Bradley Fungus in your coffee. The US Is one of the only countries that allows moldy beans to be imported.
- [04:17]
A
Yeah.
- [04:18]
B
Break that down.
- [04:19]
A
So, I mean, you could look at it. You can look at the laws. I mean, I know A lot about all the way up at the top down the laws, through years of taking a look. And if you look at it, there's almost no other country that allows the import of moldy beans. Yeah, you're going to have mold in your body, but an excess of mold is going to interact with your body negatively. You can source the best beans, you know, but the fact that they still allow the mold in there, it might pass right through. So that's one of the reasons why I stopped drinking coffee is because it was interacting with my system the wrong way. I'm not saying it's the mold. I'm saying the U.S. is the only people, the only company, because U.S. inc. Is a company that allows the import of moldy beans.
- [05:06]
B
And how long has this been happening?
- [05:08]
A
I don't know when that was signed in, but I know it is well over a decade. It's probably probably even two decades.
- [05:14]
B
So, so we're all like, like, even if you go to Starbucks, you think we're all, we all have a little bit of mold and fungus in our bottle. Oh, man.
- [05:22]
A
I, I, I don't want to badmouth.
- [05:25]
B
Yeah, put it out there.
- [05:26]
A
Okay. I, I think absolutely. I think absolutely. It's a big company that's bringing in a lot of stuff and unfortunately, a lot of people are worried about money over people. That's why my companies exist. They want money. They don't care about what's happening inside your body. You know what I mean? Is your blood the way that it's supposed to be? I mean, that's our, that's our oil. Is your heart doing okay? How are your kidneys? Like, all that stuff can be affected, you know what I mean? And it's profits over people. And I'm happy that things are starting to change at the top on the way down, too.
- [06:07]
B
So the alternative to fungus in your coffee, you're saying, is get on the hydrogen game.
- [06:13]
A
I don't think that you have any energy problems when you start looking inside your body at why you don't have energy in the morning. So if you take a look in the morning and you obviously, once you get off the coffee, it's going to take a week for you to actually regulate yourself. But if you wake up in the morning and you do not have energy, that's a problem. You just slept for eight hours. Why don't you have energy? I mean, give it 20 minutes to get up, right? Like get up and move around. But if you're not excited for life, you got to look at everything. Do you not want to be an air flight traffic controller anymore? Do you not want to be, in my case, a door to door insurance salesman anymore? You know, like it could not be stuff, stuff like that, but you've got to look inside and then push, push out what you want in life, right?
- [06:57]
B
Yeah.
- [06:57]
A
No.
- [06:58]
B
100%.
- [06:58]
A
Yeah.
- [07:00]
B
So break it, break down what you're doing in the cannabis space for us.
- [07:02]
A
Yeah. So 2018, the farm bill was signed. So that's hemp, which is cannabis. Just to give you a really quick how it came about is I was in the insurance industry. I sold life insurance door to door for over 10 years. I had a solid team, but my, my internal self wasn't happy. You know, I was banging on doors, cold canvassing and stuff like that. But that right there, that 10 years gave me drive to start. Look, because you know when you start getting a little bit of, of funds in your pocket, you start, you stop worrying about money. So I stopped worrying about money. I started worried about health. That was about 10 years ago. The farm bill was signed and I was not doing well in my brain. If you look at the other podcast episodes that I was on, I played football from the time I was 5 until the time I was 23. When I was 15, I had my first shoulder injury and that started the use of me hitting with my head. Fast forward, after years of addiction, I saw that I was sober, but I was not having the quality of life that I could, that I could, that I could have. So I started looking at the farm bill and what hemp actually has in it, which is a ton of cannabinoids. So I started experimenting and one day I hit CBG and CBD and I mixed them together and all that pressure in my head, pressure in my head from taking so many hits. And that pressure causes me to push out a vibe that doesn't work for anybody, doesn't work for not even me. Because now I'm messed up for three or four days from that vibe. So the CBD and CBG together, all of a sudden I didn't have the pressure in my head anymore. And that's how Metalief was born, man. It's because of the belief and the conviction of what it can do for people. So what I'm doing in the cannabis space now is I'm serving people the way I serve myself. I sit, I. I'll sit down and I'll take a look at. First off, there's about, I don't know, there's. There's hundreds of different Cannabinoids. But I focus on roughly 20. Okay. So I'll sit down and I'll. I'll take a look at. With me and my team, and we'll. We'll make formulas. And this guy, I'll try it for ocd. This guy will try it for this. This person will try it for sleep. And if it works, we'll give it to our family and friends. And if it works for them, we'll roll it out. Because one person isn't enough. Everybody has a different body chemistry. So we started with that, and we had one. We have one store in Lago Vista, Texas, Is very successful, community, loves us, opened up another store. And all we're trying to do is give the education. These stores have all this stuff, but no education. So they're popping around. Maybe they're getting anxiety from this, anxiety from that. But we actually have a catalog. You open it up, and it has every cannabinoid that we have in there and what it does for you. Okay? And then recently we started adding, like, Reishi, Turkey Tail, Changa, Lion's Maid into our gummies with other cannabinoids.
- [10:17]
B
Lion's mane.
- [10:18]
A
Yeah.
- [10:19]
B
What's lion's mane?
- [10:20]
A
Lion's mane's a. A mushroom.
- [10:22]
B
Okay.
- [10:23]
A
And it takes care of inflammation. It takes. It's. It's really. It's kind of a mushroom for men. It'll. It'll give you, you know, energy focus, and fungus has the ability to clean up your system from the inside out. So if Mario Brothers, okay, There's a Amantia gummy in Amantia mushroom in Mario. Super Mario Brothers. And when Super Mario Mario eats it, what happens to him? He gets bigger. That's a real thing. Mushrooms have the ability to fix a lot of different things. I actually have a friend that I was talking to the other day about Amantia gummies. Shout out. Tyler, his girl was on antidepressants. She got on Amantia gummies, okay? They're gone. No more antidepressants. So as we go along and we figure out what these things do for everybody, through conversation, through trial,
- [11:27]
B
we're able
- [11:27]
A
to heal the planet. You know what I mean? And not with some. I don't even know these. These commercials. You see these commercials lately on these pharmaceuticals? You don't know about these commercial. Have you seen these commercials? Come on, Casino.
- [11:45]
B
They give me an example.
- [11:48]
A
Sky Reezy.
- [11:49]
B
Okay?
- [11:50]
A
Skyreasy is. It's. I. I don't know what it's good for. It says it's good for One thing, but then it gives you 6, 000 side effects. Basically, you could die.
- [12:02]
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what you're talking about. Now there's all the pharmaceutical commercials and then, then they. They have to read all the. The disclosures at the end. Yeah, it's like. Yeah, it's 100.
- [12:11]
A
They might as well say you could die.
- [12:12]
B
Yeah.
- [12:13]
A
You know what I mean? Like, I don't know, man. So the worst thing that could happen when you take too much cannabis is you freak out cuz you took too much cannabis. You cannot die. Do you know why you cannot die, Rich? Because there's not enough cannabinoid receptors on the brain for you to die. You can die from opioids because there's enough opioid receptors on the brain to kill you, to shut your brain down, which is the central command. So, I mean, that's it right there. You know all. Yes. There's. There's some good medications out there. I love Ivermectin. I'm big on ivermectin. I'm big on fenbendazole. I'm big on methylene blue. We have it in the. Rebuild the human line.
- [12:56]
B
Methyl and blue.
- [12:57]
A
Methyl and blue.
- [12:59]
B
Sounds like some Walter White stuff from.
- [13:02]
A
It is. It's a. It's a. It's a.
- [13:03]
B
What was that show on Netflix that was very.
- [13:05]
A
Breaking Bad.
- [13:05]
B
Breaking Bad, yeah. Methylene Blue.
- [13:07]
A
Methylene blue is. So if your mic. Mitochondria is not functioning properly, you will. You will not function properly. So methylene blue gets into the source of your mitochondria and starts to repair it over time. Um, it. It's. It's something. It's part of the peptide line that we're starting to roll out with. Rebuild the human. It's one of the only things that we're gonna do that isn't any if. Do you know anything about peptides?
- [13:37]
B
A little bit, yeah. I mean, I'll have guests on. We'll talk about testosterone levels for men, men that struggle with low T and all, you know, all the different T levels and what you can do to kind of increase them. So I know a little bit surface level, but I'm not an expert by any means.
- [13:51]
A
Me neither. And that's. That's what the entrepreneurial life is all about is. Is learning more about, for me, more. Learning more about the things that you can do without major side effects or side effects in general to fix your body, you know? So methylene blue, it's. It's a tincture. It is A fabric dye that they found in the 1920s. Somewhere along the line, somebody decided to try it. And it fixes your mitochondria, it repairs your mitochondria, and that's the source of pretty much all the things that work in your body the right way. If your mitochondria is working right, it'll push outward. So that's what methyl in blue does. And there's, there's studies on it. They were buried for years. If you look at the 1920 studies, that's right around when things started to get a little bit weird with taking away all the natural medicine. They'll tell you that methyl and blue does just that.
- [14:46]
B
Interesting. Interesting.
- [14:48]
A
Yeah.
- [14:48]
B
So you, you mentioned that you saw a man with Parkinson's literally take some CBD and then immediately stop shaking.
- [14:57]
A
Oh. Oh, yeah. High, High level.
- [15:00]
B
It's that powerful and effective, huh?
- [15:01]
A
It is, it is. And. And you know, when people up at the top start talking about, particularly, you know, the current president, he talks about how effective CBD can be, and it kind of got skipped over. It went from hemp and cbd. All of a sudden, now it's basically wrecking. That's why medaleaf focuses on CBD and CBG and CBN and thca, you know, all those minors. But not only have I seen people stop shaking from Parkinson's, but my neighbor, my retail neighbor, Susie, she has a son. Her store is called the Wild Navy. She's great. I love her shout out Susie. But she has a son that has, I believe it's epilepsy or something that makes him shake. And he don't shake anymore either. And that's a real life thing. That's like, that's my neighbor. That's somebody that I, when her, when her third daughter was born, you know, I. I gifted them a kilo of silver for the college fund because I know where silver's headed. So that's not somebody that I high by type thing. That's. That's a real person that I care about and stuff like that. So it's, it's, it's like that with trial and error everywhere, all over the United States, probably all over the world, but United States in particular. CBD can get rid of Parkinson's disease and apparently epilepsy also.
- [16:36]
B
Damn. That's pretty powerful, man.
- [16:38]
A
Yeah.
- [16:39]
B
So, you know when you look at cannabis, right, you got sativa and you got. What's the other one? That's a little bit indica, right?
- [16:47]
A
And you got hybrid. Yeah.
- [16:49]
B
Sativa, Indica, Hybrid, yeah. Is there any Like I guess break those down first and then I'm curious, like, are any of those that are leaning one direction or the other, are they meant to treat certain things?
- [17:02]
A
I mean, you know, I stay away from indicas because I don't want to be down. Do you know what I mean? But I, I, I am really so sativa just to give you, you know, a quick understanding of this. A sativa is a daytime, you know, it'll give you energy. And we're, right now we're more talking about specifically flower. People call it bud, but the hemp industry calls it flower because when you look at the, the plant, it is a flower.
- [17:32]
B
And flower just means it's like in its organic state.
- [17:35]
A
Yeah, you're picking like a flower off of a, a tree.
- [17:37]
B
Sure.
- [17:38]
A
Essentially. So it is a flower. So we call it hemp flower in the industry. A sativo is like a pineapple express. For instance. We did grow a pineapple express about two seasons ago. And that's going to give you, it's going to take away your, your anxiety first off. It's going to give you that feeling of well being and it'll give you calibrated energy. Not like coffee, like a focus almost. So I recommend your sativas for daytime. I don't smoke during the day. I, I find it very medicinal at night only and, and only sometimes. And I don't, I don't, I don't think that many people out there can, can do that all day because it's, it's, it's like anything else. You want to drink water all day long, don't stop, just keep on drinking water. What's, what's going to happen, you know, so, and then your hybrid, I, I think hybrids are the best because in my opinion what a hybrid will do is if you, if you, if you take a little bit of it, you smoke a little bit of it or you can use tea. I do tea too. You can put that flour in tea, it's really good. You smoke a little bit of it, it's going to act as a sativa. You smoke a little bit more of it and a little bit more of it, it act as an indica, which is why they call it a hybrid. Indica is the ever famous in the couch. It'll put you in the couch. And that's why I kind of stay away from it because I don't want to be in the couch. So at night you as an entrepreneur know that you get wired and you get going in your head and sometimes there's no way to stop that. So.
- [19:15]
B
Oh, and that's, that's why some people like the indica is right, like just mellow out. Otherwise their brain just always going.
- [19:21]
A
So I'll, I'll get, you know, I'll get these episodes every once in a while where I'll get overdriven and the, the hits to the head will get me into overdrive and I'll start to have like a little, I'll be a little bit manic and always start with some cbg. Some just like a tincture of CBG at night. That'll calm me down. A couple of hits here and there and of a hybrid flower that, that we grew was called Best Kept Secret. And that's super medicinal. It'll calm you down and then eventually it'll put you to sleep. And as long as you do those things like that and you do them medicinally, if you don't do them one night or two nights or a week, it's not, you're not going to be thinking about it.
- [20:04]
B
Yeah.
- [20:04]
A
You know what I mean?
- [20:05]
B
It's not addictive is what you're saying.
- [20:07]
A
No, it's not a habit forming. The habit forming is when you wake up in the morning and you think about it, right? You've been there, right? You're, you're in recovery, aren't you?
- [20:18]
B
Dude, I used to be, I used to be addicted to Xanax when I was a kid.
- [20:22]
A
Okay, got it.
- [20:23]
B
And I've definitely dabbled with all sorts of different marijuana and stuff like that when I was, when I was younger. So I'm very familiar. For me, I, I was always into the more like hybrid leaning sativa. I like to have energy and, and I like to, you know, obviously be creative and that sort of thing. I don't currently use marijuana at the moment, but, but I, you know, I, I definitely have a lot of friends that do and I definitely see the, the benefits of it. And then also like microdosing. I'm a fan of microdosing in the right environment and in the right setting, of course. But yeah, dude, I'm curious for you man. Like, what, what is the, like, how did marijuana even come about? Like, what's the history of marijuana? Like who, who discovered it and, and how did it even start?
- [21:09]
A
So interest. Interesting fact. Marijuana is the corporate term used under U.S. inc. To regulate the plant. So we, we, we, we sell hemp flower.
- [21:22]
B
Hemp flower. Okay.
- [21:23]
A
Is it, is it the same? Yeah, the word. Well, it's not really the same, but different. It's grown differently to comply with a farm bill. So we. We don't. We don't really kind of like work with marijuana because it's the corporate term for U.S. inc. Which is regulatable. If you. What's interesting about it is even if you look at the original spelling of marijuana, it's been changed because you can't regulate marijuana because it is a term used before U.S. inc. Came about. Okay, they changed the spelling. It can be regulated now because it's a corporate term used under US Inc. So now that I. Now that I got that out of the way. What was your question?
- [22:09]
B
Yeah, so what's the. What's the history of marijuana? How did it even come to come about?
- [22:14]
A
So we'll just say hemp and cannabis. So the dating the furthest back that I can see, the research on paper, it dates back to the early 1900s, pre 1920, when cannabis and hemp was used medicinally on the shelves everywhere, but mainly used for industrial purposes. So if you start looking at what hemp was actually used for, Henry Ford made a car frame out of it. So you start looking at that. You start looking at, it was used for our clothing. And if you start looking at what we're actually all wearing and you start looking at the tags, you'll see that it's polyester. Do you know what polyester is? Plastic. It's oil. So how good could that be for us? If you go and wear a plastic shirt and sweat and absorb it, you could look at it. The endocrine system gets destroyed, particularly in women, because they're wearing the tights. So it was highly used in clothing, paper, ropes, and industrial applications. That's the earliest use that it's been used for. But when you start really looking at it, you have to think to yourself, if you can use it for all this paper, all this stuff, and now you can use it to clean, like to help your body out, regulate your body. It's like, where'd this plant really come from? Because you can use it for everything. You know what I mean? So dating back to the early 1920s, mainly. Mainly used for industrial purposes. And what's super exciting about it is, is if you start doing the research on it, you go to things like, you know what drywall is, right?
- [24:10]
B
Yeah.
- [24:11]
A
Drywall is gypsum board. And it's all chemicals. What's very nice about and. And chemicals are in our house everywhere. And the paint that we're using is. Is chemicals. And it's in our house as well. They're starting to make hemp dry drywall. And they're starting to make natural paints and stuff like that. So you're going to start seeing hemp Crete. Have you heard of hemp crete? Hemp concrete. So it breathes. It's fire retardant. You cannot put it on fire. And it's super light at the same time. So you have all that stuff. And then you have all of the medicinal qualities as well. So hemp is going to be used within the next hundred years. You're going to be seeing it used in houses. You're going to see it used for your clothing. We're probably going to be wiping our butts with it. They're going to find a way to have us wipe our butts with it too, because our toilet paper has chemicals in it too. You know what I mean? So hemp's gonna be. And not. Not to take away from the fact that when you grow hemp, it regenerates the soil. And if you look at what cotton does to the soil and some of the other stuff does to the soil, it actually takes the nutrients and the minerals out of it. So every farmer should be growing hemp in between their cycles if they're using. If they're growing certain things, particularly cotton.
- [25:31]
B
Yeah, interesting.
- [25:32]
A
So.
- [25:33]
B
So tell me what you're doing with the. The cannabis. You got two retail locations, so you guys sell it over the counter. And then. And then you mentioned a wholesale shop. What is that about?
- [25:44]
A
Yeah, so the wholesale shop, it. It supplies extracts like rosin, hash flour, and like, like isolates. Like, like if you wanted a CBD isolate in bulk to make a tincture, that's what we do. Okay. So we do grow a little bit. We don't grow a ton, but we use that material to process into cbd, cbg, thca, rosin, and all that stuff. And that services several hundred stores around the United States. You know, we, you have all the, you know, the compliance, the coas, you know, it's compliant with the farm bill, all that stuff.
- [26:31]
B
What's, what's the name of your retail shop if the listeners want to go and check it out?
- [26:35]
A
Metal Leaf.
- [26:36]
B
Metal.
- [26:36]
A
Metal Leaf. M E D A L E A. Yeah.
- [26:39]
B
And where are they located?
- [26:40]
A
Metal Leaf, that's our logo.
- [26:42]
B
I love it. Where they located?
- [26:43]
A
Yeah, Lago Vista, Texas.
- [26:45]
B
Got it.
- [26:45]
A
Lago Vista, Texas. And Buchanan Dam, Texas.
- [26:48]
B
Okay. Is there any. My girlfriend's parents are in Texas. I know over there. What. At least up until recently, because they take some. Some gummies and I just kind of unwind and I Believe they were saying like the rules are a little bit different out there from a legality perspective. What is the difference out there in Texas versus California?
- [27:09]
A
It's wide open right now in meaning that everything that you can get in California under recreational, you can get in Texas under the farm bill.
- [27:24]
B
Okay, so. So as of now, everything's the same.
- [27:27]
A
Well, it's paperwork wise. It's not. Oh because any, any rec state or any medical state has to take care of a lot of compliance which Texas is coming down with it. I was just reading the rules this morning, what they're, how they're going to change it. And I'll tell you, if this goes through, I'll tell you about in a second. This goes through, it's going to be the best state in the country to buy cannabis because they're, they're separating hemp and the corporate term marijuana very well. And this is the only state that's doing it. So when you go there and you go into a hemp place, a cannabis place, that which is hemp in our state, we call it cbd, CBD shop. And you can go in there and you can get flour. It's called THCA flour. The difference, the only difference with THCA flour in Texas and in California aesthetically meaning like ingestible or smoking or something like that is it's under 0.3 delta 9 THC.
- [28:31]
B
Delta 9. That was the word I was looking for.
- [28:33]
A
0.3 delta 9 THC. Okay, so, so what do we have to do to accomplish that? We have to make sure that on a dry weight basis that we're under 0.3. What does that mean? The gummies basically can be no higher than, I'd say 10, 15 milligrams of, of Delta 9 because they count the weight in the gummy. If you want a heavier, if you make a Heavier Like a GI, a gigantic gummy, you can probably get 50 milligrams in there. A lot of people do like tetra tetris blocks, which means you can pull 50 off because it's, they're all connected but there's 5 milligrams in each. You know what I mean? So that's the difference. And the same thing with the flower. You have to grow the flower a certain. This is why we do a little bit of growing. You have to grow the flower a certain way. I'm not going to say how in order to get that initial pre harvest certificate of analysis under 0.3. The difference is California doesn't have to the rec states and the medical states don't have to. They can have that 0.3 above that caveat. Here's, here's the real.
- [29:41]
B
What's the caveat? Let's hear it, man.
- [29:43]
A
A decarboxylation is call. It happens when you light it up and it converts and everybody's lighting it up. So how different is it? At the end of the day, there's not really much of a difference. It's under the farm bill. It's, it's safe. Now what Texas is doing is they're rolling out medical marijuana, the corporate term marijuana, and they're going to, from what I understand the rules look something like this. All the hemp stores are going to be okay. They're going to add a fee to every single store that exists to do business. Yearly fees. You know, they're, they seem to be okay, but they're not going to allow flower sales. So they're going to allow tinctures, they're going to allow gummies, they're going to allow everything else.
- [30:34]
B
But not flour.
- [30:35]
A
But not flour. And they're going to roll out medical marijuana corporate term as well. So the only place that you're going to be able to get flour is going to be at your medical place. You're going to be able to get everything else at the hemp stores.
- [30:49]
B
And with all these states legalizing marijuana, because I believe in the beginning it was like California, a couple other states, and now it seems like it's a pretty national thing. But with it being legalized now, is there a lot of profits to be made in, in marijuana or is it, is it shrinking the, the margins there?
- [31:07]
A
There will be a lot of money. There was tons of money to be made in California in the beginning.
- [31:12]
B
In the beginning. Okay, Right.
- [31:14]
A
So there is going to be tons of money to be made all over the country. Particularly, I can talk about Texas because I spend so much time there. It's my home. There's going to be a ton of money to be made all over Texas and the hemp industry is going to thrive as well. So. But I want to, I want to remind you that if you're coming into the space to, to make money only, you know, you're not going to last long. You're not going to last long because this is, this is a medicine. This is something for the people. This is something to regulate their system, not hurt it. So if you're putting your energy into making money into, into the plant, you know, we'd rather not have you come down. You know, this is something for the people. So yeah, there's. To answer your question, Rich, there's a ton of money to be made if, if you're now, there's a ton of money to be made initially for people that are just coming for money, but there's a whole lot of generational money to be made for the people that are coming for the right reasons.
- [32:17]
B
Yep, I feel you, man. Okay, so talk about Rebuild the Human. I know you're rolling this out soon. You're very excited for it. It's your health and wellness kind of spirituality thing. What do you, what's the main problem that you're going to be solving for people here?
- [32:29]
A
Yeah, I want to touch on, I want to be able to touch on, on the. How rebuild the Human came about. So the cannabinoid system, my, my central nervous system was repaired through, through cannabis and through cannabinoids. And through that experience, I started realizing, okay, so I'm okay. My, my, my central nervous system is okay, but there is some stuff missing. My health's kind of iffy from all those years of use. I was an opiate addict for 15 years.
- [33:00]
B
Wow.
- [33:01]
A
A real deal opiate addict. Like homeless opiate addict. But you know, I started realizing once my central nervous system was okay that I had some health problems. My kidneys weren't doing well from all of the opiate abuse and some of my organs, like fatty liver disease, like, stuff like that. So I started looking into, now that my brain is healthy again, I'm started looking into ways to make myself better. And I gotta give a solid shout out to Gary Brechta. He paved the way. He planted the seed into my brain to start looking at all this stuff. He's the one that introduced hydrogen water to me. You know, Gary Brechta is.
- [33:47]
B
Yeah. Gary brecha, yeah. 10x health grant cardone.
- [33:50]
A
Yeah, he, he does a great job. He's surface level on a lot of this stuff. Doesn't touch on spirituality and, and he touches on God, which is, you know, essentially the same thing. But I was raised a holistic. You know, my mom's a Shambhala Reiki master. I don't know, I don't know if anybody knows like that. It sounds like woo woo stuff, but it's a real thing. But Rebuild a Human was made because I needed to make my body more healthy. So hydrogen water was the first thing, along with the copper, the copper flask that I have right next to me was the first thing. The first two things. As I went along, I started to realize that you Know, red light therapy. I did a lot of research into red light therapy and frequency therapy and, you know, stones and gemstones and stuff like that. They all carry a different frequency. So. And this goes back to my childhood because my mom's been in the. In this holistic, esoteric game for such a long time that it was already imprinted into my subconscious. So the. We have healing mats as well. The healing mats, they're amethyst. They have amethyst in them. They have biophoton lights, they have frequency therapy on them, and then they have red light as well. There's nine frequency settings, everything from like 25 hertz. If you start looking at frequency, you're gonna see everything is frequency. Everything has frequency. Everything from 25 hertz, which will give you relaxation, good rest, reset your system, get rid of inflammation all the way to a higher, higher frequencies. That'll give you energy and focus and stuff like that. So Rebuild the Human is a combination of my childhood and my. My lack of health. Sadly. Peptides are absolutely amazing. When you start looking at them, all they are is sequences of amino acids that activate something in your system to start working again. That's all they are. They're not synthetic testosterone. They don't shut down your testosterone centers, and you have to boot them back up again afterwards. That's what testosterone does. It shuts off your real testosterone. That's why you have to take something called hcg, I think it's called, to turn your testosterone back on afterwards. So. Yeah. Is testosterone good? Yeah, I think it can be good short term, but long term, you have to start thinking about why is it shutting off something that naturally runs in me? I tried testosterone. It didn't work out for me, you know, I was kind of a mess. I had to repair myself after. That's one of the reasons why I looked into peptides. So Rebuild the Human is a lifestyle brand. It's a spiritual brand. For somebody that is looking to get themselves at the next level, you know, at the next level of health and spirituality. We're gonna have plenty of different products on there.
- [36:42]
B
Yeah, that's really good, man. So what are some of the stuff that you're gonna have inside? So hyperbaric and cold plunge. You're gonna have it as a part of this?
- [36:51]
A
Yeah.
- [36:52]
B
And. And is this gonna be a spot where, like retail, where people walk in, is it gonna be. Tell me about that.
- [36:59]
A
So you will be the first person to hear about this outside of my wife.
- [37:04]
B
Okay. We're hearing it right now, man.
- [37:06]
A
Yeah.
- [37:06]
B
Give us all the secrets, bro.
- [37:07]
A
Yeah. So I'm going to place Rebuild the Human right next to Metal Leaf. It's going to be one big store.
- [37:14]
B
Got it.
- [37:15]
A
Because when people are done repairing their central nervous system, they're going to look to repair their body. So Rebuild the Human is going to be the same store as Metalief. You're going to walk in and you're going to see the holistic products, the hydrogen machines, the peptides, the body detox. We didn't talk about that, but we have a body detoxification system that takes all of the toxins out of your feet. Real deal. I mean, it's pretty crazy. And Rebuild the Human is going to be primarily a brand that sits on social media. It's going to have. It's going to be on Amazon. You know, we're going to have a website, but we're going to have some stores, too. Because the only way to start to get people to realize that you can heal your body without pharmaceuticals is to put it in front of them. And the older group of people that are, you know, with us, you know, 50 and above, none of them are going on social media. Very few. My mom doesn't know how to navigate social media. She's 62. She has a tough time sending a text. You know what I mean?
- [38:17]
B
Yeah, yeah.
- [38:18]
A
So rebuild the Human is going to be. We're going to have some stores, but we're also going to be, you know, on the Internet as well. And it'll launch. It's going to relaunch, launch on May 2nd in Sedona, Arizona, at an event called Rise of the guardians by one of my best friends and my brother, Rion Deruen. He runs an esoteric and health and wellness event out of Sedona, and he's one of the best in it and he's been in it for 20 years. And that's my brother, and he's going to help me launch Rebuild the Human to the right people that don't think that this stuff that we're talking about is like, nonsense. Placebo doesn't work because it's not in a pill bottle. You know what I mean? So we're gonna launch it there. I want to give a special shout out to Rion, a great friend of mine. If you guys want to are looking to take the next level in your frequency journey, your spiritual journey, your health journey, go to Sedona May 1st and 2nd. The event is on teamlight.com we're going to have yoga sessions. We're going to have sound bowl sessions. I'm going to have the hyperbaric chamber there. Cold tub is going to be there. The amethyst crystal mat is going to be there. Everything's going to be there. We're going to have a house that you can go into to do all this stuff. It's not going to be at the event. It's going to be a side event, you know, so you can go in, you can schedule your hyperbaric chamber visit. You can go in and do your cold tail visit. Crystal amethyst mats. You can do your foot detox and get all the toxins out of your joints so you're not so creaky at 40 years old like I am and not really anymore. Now 41.
- [40:02]
B
Okay.
- [40:03]
A
Yeah. So anyway, Team Light, great. People love them all. You know, go there if you guys can support Team Light.
- [40:10]
B
So I love Sedona, by the way. Man, I went there for the first time in October last year. Yeah. And I had never experienced anything like that before. But it's like, man, the red rocks and the scenery, the weather, you know, in the fall and the spring, absolutely stunning. Stay at the Ambiante landscape hotel out there. That was my first time staying at a landscape hotel. But absolutely stunning. Gorgeous. They have a Michelin star restaurant there. You get your own entire kind of like structure. Like, like literally it's like two stories, it's all secluded. And then you get a private rooftop deck that's like got fire pit and you can go up there at night and see the stars. And man, it's. It's absolutely stunning. So big fan of Sedona. I want to go back in the hiking out there. It's pretty dope.
- [40:52]
A
Do you know that Sedona, I love Sedona too by the way. There's only two chakras in the United States. So we talked about chakras previous to this.
- [41:02]
B
What is the shocker? So the listeners that don't know.
- [41:05]
A
So we have chakras in our body. We have a root chakra all the way up to our crown chakra. And when these are in alignment, we can start to hear our inner voice. You know, the inner voice, that first thing that comes in and then we disregard it because we read a book or we saw something on social media or our mom told us to do something or our wife wants us to do something. When your chakras are in alignment and they're healthy, that voice, it trumps everything. And that's when things start to really fall in place. My chakras are definitely in Line. I'm moving, I'm jiving. Everything makes sense to me. The Earth has the same thing. Okay. The Earth has chakras all over the planet. You can Google this, they're going to show you it. There's two chakras in the United States. Guess where one is.
- [41:46]
B
Sedona.
- [41:47]
A
Sedona.
- [41:48]
B
Let's go.
- [41:48]
A
Why do you think Rion lives there? He lives in the chakra. The second one we talked about is in Mount Shasta.
- [41:55]
B
Mount Shasta, California.
- [41:57]
A
Yeah.
- [41:57]
B
Interesting. That's why I would have never guessed
- [41:59]
A
that that's the root chakra. That's where everything starts for anybody. It starts at the root. So if you start a brand here and it, and it starts to really get going, it will spread quickly because it's in the root chakra. Sedona. I don't actually know what that chakra is, but I'm very, I know for a fact that Mount Shasta is the root chakra of the planet.
- [42:24]
B
That's really good, man. That's really good. When you think about, you know, the, the future of the health and wellness, I know there's a lot of different trends that are going on right now. Cold plunge, we have dry sauna, red light therapy. We talked about cbd, all this sort of stuff. What do you envision as the future of, of health and wellness? Especially as we get, you know, into the2030s because obviously technology is not going to stop, right? It's, it's just continuing to go quicker and quicker. We got AI but, but where do you kind of envision this health and wellness based industry in the, in the 2000s?
- [42:58]
A
I, I, I see 2000s is, is pretty soon. So I can't talk. Super.
- [43:04]
B
Yeah, we're talking four years away.
- [43:06]
A
Yeah, we're talking four years away. So I, I, I believe that holistic therapy will, will start to spread like wildfire. And it's companies like Rebuild the Human that, that will lead the way because nobody's really putting together everything. No one's putting together a holistic approach with a health and health and wellness approach. Throw some cannabis in there, you know what I mean? So 2030 is going to look a lot like people getting better. The United States and we have to talk about the United States with, with cannabis and cannabinoids. That's, I think that's where it starts. That's where I started. And also my mom, my mom was going through menopause and she couldn't sleep. And while she was going through that, you know, just a little Bit of full spectrum. CBD got her great night's sleep, you know what I mean? So I see it starting with a full scale invasion of cannabis all over the country. As people do that, they're going to have to start really educating people with, with catalogs and stuff like that. There should be some sort of. I'm not going to say this because I'm going to do it, but there's going to be a way that people will know which cannabinoids they can take. Okay. I think you know what I'm talking about. So I think, I think that cannabis is, is going to spread like wildfire. It's going to open up people's minds because that's what it does. I mean, you think about why they don't want you to do cannabis. You think to yourself, like, oh, we're thinking outside the box immediately afterwards, you know what I mean? So it starts with cannabis. Peptides are fantastic all the way through. You have to know how to take them. But I think peptides are going to take hold and a lot more going Back to like 1900s, 1800s, 1400s with frequency therapy. You're familiar with frequency therapy? I've just talked about it.
- [45:02]
B
Yeah.
- [45:03]
A
Where you can get on a mat and you could be in a place that has a ton of WI fi, you know, do you know the frequency that WI fi runs off of?
- [45:11]
B
What is it?
- [45:11]
A
It's the same frequency that an oven runs off of.
- [45:14]
B
Okay, okay, okay.
- [45:15]
A
So we're frying ourselves. So getting on the frequency mat once a night is going to take that frequency of. I think it's 2.5 Hz, 2.5 GHz, and it's going to take you down to the frequency that you need to be. You can do that through a couple different ways, but the frequency mat is the best thing to do. So we're talking about 2030 frequency therapy, I think is going to take hold again. I think cannabis is going to spread like wildfire. And I also think that peptides are going to completely sweep the country. Those are the three things we're going
- [45:50]
B
to have to bring you back on the podcast and in 2030 and, and see if these things actually do come to fruition.
- [45:56]
A
You know, my, you know, my old lady, when we started dating six years ago, you know, the first thing that she got me as a present, it was a cup of.
- [46:04]
B
Okay.
- [46:05]
A
And the coffee cup said it have fungus in it. Yes. Because I was drinking coffee six years ago. But the coffee cup said, just as I suspected. I was right. All along. So to be continued.
- [46:15]
B
I love it. I love it. That's really good. William. I appreciate you coming on, man. Dropping so much game, so much value. Where can the folks get in touch with. They want to learn more about all the products, all the stuff that you're doing, man.

- [46:39]
