"My name is Nathan Griepentrog and I am a CBD American Shaman Franchise. My wife and I were introduced to AS by a good friend Todd Bliss. I asked him if it could help my mother with sleeping. She has severe Restless Legs and Lupus. Not understanding CBD, I blindly got a bottle and gave my mother a sample. She slept through the night for the 1st time in years and the wheels started turning. We had no intention of becoming an owner, but after using the product for a shot time, I knew this was something special. We opened a store in a small town in northern WI with the hope to just pay the bills. We were amazed by the overwhelming response to our store. Business took off and my mother retired from the hospital to help us manage the location. Th is has allowed me to open more locations. I did look at a few other CBD companies, but decided on AS because of many reasons. One of the main reasons is the products, they are second to none. We also really liked how AS stores have a Professional, upscale look. This was very important to us. AS also has a fantastic override program allowing me to help bring friends and family into the business while still getting something from their efforts. One of the final reasons we chose AS was Vince. I was fortunate to be able to get to sit down and talk to the owner of the company. I personally have to trust the person I work for. Right away I could tell Vince has true passion in his eyes about his product and helping people. I immediately new, I could work for this gentleman. One of the 1st things he told me is that this is about helping people, the $ is just a bonus. He was absolutely right. We've all heard of the old saying, you will get everything out of life, if you can help others get what they want out of life. Its has never been so true. Its what has me excited on what the future brings!"
