Guillaume Brochu is a former professional snowboard athlete and the founder of the company CBDayz. We had the chance to speak with him to learn more about his background and the CBDayz adventure!

Mendo: Hello Guillaume! Before working at CBDayz, you were a professional snowboard athlete and ran the clothing brand I FOUND Positive Group. Can you tell us more about your athletic background and how you got into the world of CBD?

Guillaume Brochu: Of course. I had the chance to grow up at the foot of "Le Relais" ski center, and started skiing at the age of 3. When I got to high school, I quickly developed a passion for snowboarding. Over the years, I have participated in many professional competitions, and made appearances in many videos. But in 2004, I suffered a serious fracture of the pelvis, which suddenly put an end to my career. Like many friends in the same trade, I have become a great friend of painkillers with oxycodone.

However, I soon realized that these drugs had significant side effects and that I did not feel very quick-witted and far too comfortable in my laziness. Fortunately, I won the fight against them, but the pain certainly continued to prevent me from snowboarding.

I started looking for alternatives and it was in 2018 that I discovered medical CBD. I started using CBD products for pain relief and inflammation, and I was amazed at how it worked for me and started using CBD in oil form. , a more natural and safer alternative for the long term. That's how I discovered the benefits of CBD, and that's what led me to join the CBD industry and found the company CBDayz. The 7 founding members, including David Carrier Porcheron and Frank Bourgeois, also have similar stories with their CBD experience.

MENDO: What is the most difficult thing you have encountered as a professional snowboarder, and how did you overcome these difficulties?

Guillaume Brochu: As a professional snowboarder, I encountered many challenges, including injuries and tough competitions. One of the hardest times for me was when I suffered a serious pelvic injury that ended my professional snowboarding career. However, I found a way to overcome this ordeal by using medical cannabis to relieve pain and inflammation, and it kept me enjoying snowboarding.

MENDO: And what differences have you noticed using CBD products?

Guillaume Brochu: I noticed a big difference in the way I felt after training or competition. The CBD products helped reduce inflammation and muscle pain, but didn't put me to sleep. For example, when I consume our Super Lemon Haze, it relaxes me physically before returning to the board. But it's not just me who benefits, we've also received many testimonials from satisfied customers who have seen significant improvements in their quality of life using our products.

MENDO: And how does CBDayz make sure to provide quality and safe products to consumers?

Guillaume Brochu: At CBDayz, we are extremely concerned about the quality and safety of our products. We work with industry experts to ensure our products are produced to the highest standards. We also test all of our products to make sure they contain the exact amount of CBD advertised and are free of harmful contaminants. We are proud to say that our products are made from organic hemp grown on Canadian farms, which guarantees the quality and safety of our products.

MENDO: It's great to see such a strong commitment to quality and safety. And finally, can you tell us what the future holds for CBDayz?

Guillaume Brochu: Of course, we are very excited for the future of CBDayz. We have many exciting projects underway including expanding our product line to meet the needs of consumers and athletes. We are also working on expanding our presence online and in physical stores to make our products accessible to a wider audience. We are also committed to raising awareness of the benefits of CBD and addressing the misconceptions that still exist in this growing industry. Ultimately, our goal is to provide superior products to help people live healthier, happier lives.

MENDO: It's great to see such a commitment to quality and safety, as well as consumer education. Thank you very much, Guillaume, for your time today and for sharing your story with us.
