The most recent National Health Interview Survey reports that in the preceding 12 months, 38% of Americans used complementary and alternative medicine. Wellness and health is a critical concern for everyone, especially now. People have questions and they're seeking answers. What if those answers lie in a new way of looking at it. Our guest this week, Mary Ann Rounseville has some big ideas around that. If you are interested or are working in the CBD, Hempe, and Cannabis space this is for you - but even if you're not, this interview is an eye opener.
Mary Ann Rounseville is the CEO of Sweet Pepper Media, the messaging arm of the Stanley Brothers, and leads the charge with a focus on human storytelling, designed to illuminate the critical causes, issues, and impacts of the human journey towards personal and social wellness. Mary Ann’s deep fervency to document the human experience motivates her to seek partnerships and minds that propel progress.
While pursuing her own natural wellness journey, Mary Ann met the pioneering plant-medicine entrepreneurs, the Stanley Brothers in 2016, a revolutionary time for the CBD and the cannabis movement. Fueled by the Brothers’ mission to reimagine wellness for everyone, she became the Director of Content for their trailblazing CBD start-up and now global leader, Charlotte’s Web. She shaped storytelling and communications to further open access to cannabis, empower people with knowledge, and the right to chose natural options. Prior to that, she developed and produced content for Bulletproof, West Elm, Google, and Nike as well as Oscar and Emmy-winning writers and directors.
