Segment 3

Noreen believes everyone has enough clothes and we don’t need to continue buying new clothes if we’re not going to wear them. Noreen said when she was younger she made clothes when she didn’t have enough money. She doesn’t like shopping, but she does if she needs too. Noreen does not mind wearing the same clothes multiple times because no one will notice. If you have multiple clothes that you don’t wear you should give your clothes away to north face, timberlands, and goodwill. Earth911 gives out multiple resources where you can donate your clothes. There is multiple ways to recycle clothing, such as donating your clothes to the homeless. Most companies when you give your clothes back to them you will receive a coupon and if you give away old jeans it can be used for installation in your home. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle is the best way to go!

Segment 4

Noreen tells the listeners to do what you want to do in life. It’s all about the passion you have for your work and in order for you to have passion, you need to have a plan for yourself. You need to gather your ideas to make sure your work flourishes. Noreen says what happened today is a learning experience for her and that didn’t discourage her from continuing her radio show today. She then continued talking about recycling and if you want to recycle plastic bottles, make sure they are not contaminated because it won’t be recycled. Before you recycle anything make sure the product is washed. When Noreen went to other countries she noticed they were burning products, which is not healthy and can be harmful to the environment.

Segment 1:

Noreen starts off by explaining how her lovely afternoon went. She went to a luncheon earlier to learn about LinkedIn. Noreen had a beautiful luncheon where she met a lot of creative people who contributes to NYC. Thomas Charpié is from Switzerland and moved to New York when he was 10 years old. His dad was an attorney and his mom was a doctor. Unfortunately, him and his family had to start over. His mom went into the music industry and Thomas went to college. Thomas started his college career at Montrose College. After college, in 2008 he came back to NYC. Later,Thomas developed skills in finance and started a company called CBD. Initially, Thomas created an Instagram page full of bikinis and lingerie. From there he learned how to develop marketing and digital skills. Throughout his learning experience from marketing and digital, he created CBD, which was created last summer. CBD was started because of Thomas Charpié’s friend. His friend had a problem with sleeping so he developed CBD products to help people overcome their problems. CBD is a new way for people that are dealing with anxiety, stress or work can cope with their pain. It’s an eye opening product looking to expand throughout NYC. Thomas Chairpé wants to help people so that they can be better in life.

Segment 2:

Thomas Charpié explains how he got started with the business. He likes being able to help people that can’t sleep or have anxiety. CBD is the natural and better way for people dealing with those types of problems. Taking a CBD substance is better than taking a prescription drug. Thomas Charpié wants his company to expand, but it starts with the people of having an education about CBD. Some benefits of CBD is that it’s great for a lot of ailments such as anxiety, stress or having trouble sleeping. In addition, it’s a natural product that won’t have lifelong effects like how marijuana does. CBD only has about .3% of TC that won’t make you feel high like marijuana. Medical aspects of CBD changes people in a positive way by using oils or taking gummy’s to help them feel better.

Segment 3:

Noreen talks about how she started using CBD and how it helped her overcome her problems. She initially had a headache and when she took a gummy bear and a CBD oil substance by mouth, her headache was gone within 15 mins. The company CBD uses all types of oils such as MCT which is like coconut oil. You can put these oils in your food, but it’s best to intake alone. Thomas Charpié believes it’s the best time to be introduced to CBD rather prescriptive marijuana. It is said to be that other countries have a hold on CBD products and New York is late to being introduced to CBD. Other states such as Colorado or California have CBD products that come from there farms. In August, the New York Health department will start to find restaurants that will allow CBD products to be in their foods. If you put CBD into a vape your pain will go away a lot faster. Vaping is a new popular way to smoke around the world. At the moment, CBD stocks are progressively growing. Overtime, CBD will make an impact and more people will know about the company in the future.

Segment 4:

Noreen talks about her friend who is going to have surgery and wonders if the CBD will help her pain. Thomas Charpié explains the difference between the millimeters in the oils and how the oil works. In order for the oil to work, place half the tube into the bottle than place the tube under your tongue and swallow the oil. It should be ineffective within 15 mins. Thomas Charpié wants more people to know about his company, but it’s the lack of education is what causes people not to know about CBD. Coming to an end of the show, Noreen thanks Thomas Charpié for the CBD product she received because it helps makes her pain go away. Thomas Charpié wants his company to succeed by helping people overcome their problems, but we the people have to educate ourselves about the products.
