BEC DONLAN - SWEAT WITH BEC, GO BASIC

How do you recover after losing your life savings? And what effect does this have on your business?  

Bec Donlan is a personal trainer and health coach, and is better known as Sweat with Bec. She’s also the founder of Go Basic, a natural healthy snack company. After years of hustling in NYC as a trainer to some of the biggest celebrities and models, Bec suffered a back injury which meant she needed urgent spinal surgery. During her recovery, Bec experienced the power of CBD (the non-intoxicating compound of the cannabis plant) in helping alleviate her pain, and she decided to create a health-snack brand infused with small doses of CBD. It was a smart move, as the CBD industry is one of the most rapidly expanding industries in the United States.

 This is a very frank and honest conversation with Bec, where we cover: 

  • Her personal motivations for starting Go Basic 

  • Money pressures and how to navigate them  

  • How spending her life savings on back surgery led her to starting Go Basic 

  • Navigating an unpredictable landscape around CBD-infused products in the USA
