Liz Kost of Fog & Tree was introduced to The Canna Mom Show by her sister Catherine who discovered The Canna Mom Show and thought her sister would make a great guest. And she was right.
Liz Kost has been working in the California cannabis industry since 2015 when she ran a design studio for multiple cannabis companies, many of them family run with women leading the way. She is now starting up her own cannabis business with her husband. Liz’s business is called Fog & Tree and they create all-natural, experiential products infused with beneficial cannabis essential oils. Cannabis plants, unlike the essential oils of other flora, have over 140 unique terpenes that vary with strains, which makes cannabis essential oils perfect for creating experiences that heighten the aromatherapy experience. And since Liz started as a cannabis packaging designer, her products not only smell great, they look beautiful too.
Liz Kost is a proud cannabis entrepreneur who was selected from over three hundred applicants to be one of only ten finalist enrolled in an Canopy Boulder Accelerator Program for cannabis ancillary and CBD business. And, she was supposed to appear on the Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch show this spring.
On today’s show we are talking terpenes, raising capital (as a woman), California cannabis and canna friendly mommy groups, and how Covid 19 is impacting the cannabis industry.
