We were lucky to catch up with Daniel Montano recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Daniel, thanks for joining us today. To kick things off, we’d love to hear about things you or your brand do that diverge from the industry standard
Hemp Wolf began in 2019, arguably a difficult time to start a business considering the state of the world during the pandemic. But regardless of years of challenges, we were able to refine our brand and products and come through stronger than ever. A few ways we are changing the industry standard is our approach to CBD.
The market is flooded with all kinds of CBD products. What I think we did correct is ask ourselves what kind of company values do we want to hold. I remember vaping being a huge thing during that time and how many products were out there that were THC/CBD vapes. We almost went down that road, but we quickly realized that we didn’t want to sell products that were harmful to people’s health. We also realized that we wanted to simplify how people could access CBD. Once we started honing in on our values as a company, it was easy to find the direction we wanted to go in. We didn’t want to create products that were harmful to people or the planet. We see CBD as part of a balanced healthy lifestyle. All of our products have absolute 0 THC, but contains all the benefits derived from the hemp plant.
We also believe that CBD should be available and affordable for everyone. That is why we offer customers beverages that are more potent and more affordable than anything else out there. All of our Nano CBD products cost $4.50 each or less, so it’s an option to many other beverages.
Potency is another area we are different from others. Our plant based activated NANO2NANO CBD has a Nano partial size of approximately ~25. Our products have 5X better bioavailability and bioactivity absorbing into the body quickly in about 3-5 minutes. Convenience is another area of difference. Our NANO2NANO CBD natural spring water, tea and double expresso comes in a convenient 2 oz. bottle, perfect for travel. And our powder packets are even more transportable. Hemp Wolf ensures that the bottles we use are recyclable plastic, made in the U.S., and protects the purity of our beverages. Protecting the future of our planet starts in small steps, so our bottles are intentionally small using less natural resources to produce.
Daniel, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Over the years, I have built connections throughout the hemp industry. My digital marketing agency, Elevation Creation, has worked with clients in the hemp industry for over a decade. Through these connections I was able to find out about the extraordinary benefits of Hemp and Nano CBD. The mission became clear. To provide customers with simple, easy to carry, potent, and delicious Nano CBD beverages.
Hemp Wolf is also addressing the issues of cost in the CBD community. We have exclusive manufacturer relationships in Colorado that provide us with the best wholesale pricing and a high quality product. An additional benefit is that our hemp is sourced from local hemp farmers. Everything we do is all natural, or organically grown. Hemp Wolf’s unique relationships in the CBD marketplace allow us to make decisions based on scientific evidence of potency and purity. Whether you’re working out, wanting a creative boost, needing to relax, or want to hydrate while you mediate, we believe our beverage products will enhance anyones wellness regiment.
We’d love to hear your thoughts about selling platforms like Amazon/Etsy vs selling on your own site.
We prefer to sell on social media and our own website. It has also been very cumbersome to place our CBD products on Amazon due to their policies about CBD products. We are not considering Etsy either due to fees. We are a emerging company and are hoping to sell primarily through social media as we scale up. We are a company owned and operated by a diverse team of people. We believe we can create economic prosperity for communities of color and moved our headquarters to East Park Hill, Denver where we are tapping into the talents of the undeserved communities. Our company is scalable, and is in our next stage of growth. With the help of local talent and our digital and social media campaigns, we plan to be the largest CBD beverage corporation in the USA within three years, hiring amazing people to advance their careers in the incredible emerging CBD Beverage market. It is also very helpful that Colorado Governor Jared Polis is a strong supporter of hemp farmers and CBD products being made in Colorado.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
Adding Nano CBD to beverages isn’t as simple as it sounds. We went through two years of developing the brand, finding the perfect beverage formulas, purveyors, suppliers, and distributors. It was exhausting and often we hit many dead ends and road blocks. But the key was to never give up. After partnering with the great folks at Eldorado Natural Springs Water, we decided that our first product would be Nano CBD water. From there, other beverages has been formulated with the help of our beverage formulator and beverage expert.
Your question about resilience is unique. We are inspired by the endangered gray wolf and its resilience. Hemp products are having a resurgence as well. I believe balance is the key to the survival of our planet and protecting species like the gray wolf is part of our philosophy. Hemp has many and it reintroduction into everyday lives is something we are pleased to be a part of.
It’s been great talking to you. I’m so glad to share some of my thoughts, and hope to kept innovating and creating unique Nano CBD beverages for years to come. And I hope our customers will try our new products as they roll out this year, they are truly amazing.
—Love and hempiness from Daniel Montano and of us at Hemp Wolf.
