Olympic Effort for Ross' Gold
Manage episode 374501583 series 3471618
Get ready to embark on a journey with our esteemed guest, Ross Rebagliati, a world champion, dedicated father, Olympic Gold Medalist and staunch cannabis advocate. Ross brings to the table his inspiring tale of launching his brand, Ross' Gold, exactly 25 years after clinching the Olympics. He is determined to shatter stereotypes while advocating for cannabis legalization and sharing his experiences from before and after Nagano.
Ross's life underwent an enormous shift post winning the 1998 Nagano Olympics. From being shunned by his sport to embarking on a promotional tour with Roots, Ross bore it all. Woven into the fabric of these experiences are unforgettable memories, like partying with Dan Akroyd and supermodels in Soho and smoking a joint with Keith Richards before a Rolling Stones concert. Ross also lifts the veil off the exciting line of products that is about to launch in Ontario.
On a more personal note, Ross shares the story of his transition from ski racing to snowboarding. He opens up about his adventures leading to the 1998 Nagano Olympics and the politics involved in the snowboard federation. Through heartfelt sharing, he explains the importance of quality over potency in choosing cannabis, and throws light on the entourage effect where a mix of high THC and other components can enhance the overall impact. This conversation is all about understanding the world of cannabis, its impact on athletes, and how it's slowly morphing into a culturally accepted norm.
