We are back with Ryan Boulda. Excited to have him here. It's all about health and wellness
and of course CBD surgeons. That's the name of his company and we're here to talk more
today about the company, about the work he's doing and as a CBD specialist all the things
he could do to help you and of course anyone with any ailments. So let me just remind you
he could be reached at CBDsurgeons.shop and welcome back. How are you? I'm doing good.
How are you doing today, Jim? I'm doing well. Tell us a little bit about your company before
we begin. Okay. So my name is Ryan Boulda. I'm the owner of a company called CBD Surgeons
here in Mount Clemens, Michigan. We do a bunch of different cannabinoids, ranges from CBD
all the way up to products like THCO. Basically all of our products are full spectrum CBD
infused products and we're just out here trying to help people find safer alternatives to prescription
drugs and get people on a nice healthy routine. Alright. Well look, since our last show, which
was last week, there's been a lot of talk about CBG out there, what it does, why it's
important and last week you said that CBG was good for a lot of underlying symptoms.
So can you tell us a little more about CBG and why it's become so popular in the hemp
community? Yeah. So CBG has been linked to be the mother of all cannabinoids and specifically
for us, we've been doing a little bit of education on CBG, like focusing on social media or
talking about social media. We have been specifically talking about CBG and an interesting fact
about CBG is that all of the 540 cannabinoids that exist in the hemp plant, all of them
could not exist basically without CBG in its purest form. So that's kind of interesting
from CBG, even THC. So without CBG, that's why they called it the mother of all cannabinoids,
which is a fun fact. If anything else you learned today, that would be one thing.
Got it. Well, there's a lot that we're learning about you today and we want to talk more about
the CBG, why it's become so popular in the community. We talked about a few of your
CBG sergin products over the past few weeks, but one thing that really caught my eye is
all these topicals. Could you talk more about that because there's different dosages of
CBG products, it gets confusing, 500, 2000, 4000 milligrams, how do we know what's best
for our own specific situation? So I guess another like the most important thing to note
is when you're looking at CBG products and products that have cannabinoids, the 500 and
2000 and 4000 milligrams, you see that all that really means is that there is that total
amount of CBG in the product. So it never, when you see that like on a product, it's
never referring to the actual strength of the product. It's talking about how much
total DBB is in the product. A lot of people kind of get confused on the product because
they're like, well, this one's 500 and this one's 1000, this one's 1000 must be better.
It doesn't really work that way. A lot of the specific mixtures that they come up with
over here in Michigan, we have a few different variations, like the skin cream, for example,
that has citrus and antioxidants in it and then our sports thick has beeswax in it and
camphor. So there's just slightly different variations of our products that are tailored
for either pain or skin maintenance and feeling better. So that's kind of all that means.
You can always, if we're on our website, you can always use the messenger button and even
ask us, we give recommendations in real time. It's not like something you'd have to wait
for or anything like that.
And that's always the hardest part for me, but what would I know what I need? But that's
why we have you all there and great customer service. We could always reach out to you.
Can you just remind us how we could do that?
Yeah, you can reach out to us at www.cpdsurgeons.shop. You could give us a call, 586-246-5852 or you
can send us an email to our operations team and that is operations at www.cpdsurgeons.shop.
Okay, great. That's also, you know, I heard you have a story to tell us about one of your
customers this past week. It's an elderly couple in particular. Would you mind sharing
a little bit about that story?
Yeah. So a few, I want to say, I think a couple days after we had spoke, we had received a
phone call from a customer and they are explaining that their mother and father, you know, have
been suffering from using opioid prescriptions and for the last however many years. They're
in extreme pain, even little flashes of dementia popping in there as well. So, you know, they're
having just a real hard time in general. Well, to make things even worse, their doctor even
started to cut them off of their opiate medication. And I guess they didn't, he didn't specifically
cut them off, but they couldn't, they're in our local area, prescriptions like opiates
and Adderall for some reason are very hard to find. So, by no fault of their own, they
were, or even the doctor, you know, they were faced with having to be, you know, deal with
detox and all the really uncomfortable things that come with opiate detox. So, reaching
out to us, we came over with a few products specifically. You know, we came with CBD,
and our 2000 milligrams sports stick, you know, applied the sports stick to, you know,
her areas that really troubled her the most from either surgery or just injuries. And
then some CBD, CBG gummies together throughout the day and kind of help with the uncomfortable
symptoms and, you know, everything else that comes with opiate and what not. Amazing. Wow.
Wow. Any other story? It is kind of crazy. Yeah, it is. But I'm sure you have stories
like this all the time. Any other in particular? Um, specifically, you think about that for
a second. There was a specific instance where the one that really touched my heart a little
bit was there was a dog, there was a golden retriever that we had. This is like in the
beginning, right when we first started to, it was kind of one of the experiences that
changed my drive to do this, I guess, but golden retriever had a tumor on its nose,
left side of the nose, and it was so big, it was like probably the size of a tennis
ball, like a dog could, it was impairing the dog's ability to breathe and see and other
than it really being there, you know, the dog, you know, wasn't really showing much
signs of, you know, being in pain or anything, but, you know, after a while, it's going
to get so big and burst, and, you know, ultimately the, you know, the dog probably wouldn't make
it. So they gave the dog, I think, three, four months to live and I know this doesn't
really have a happy ending, but, you know, the dog's life was increased, probably improved
and increased by, I believe it was like five months, you know, they were able to get like
an extra five months of time with their dog and the family and preparing themselves, like
all that stuff matters, especially when you know you're going to deal with that kind of
a trauma, you know, they really shook the family up and I was just glad that I was
able to help in some capacity, you know.
Yeah, no, absolutely. Wow. And let me also, at this time, I think it's perfect time. Let's
take a quick commercial break. Remind me of the best form and all forms of contact where
we can reach out to you.
Yeah, you can go to www.cbdsurgeon.shop. You can reach out to us, 586-246-5852 or send
us an email, operations at cbdsurgeon.shop.

Yep, you can find us on Facebook, Instagram. I believe we are the most active and you can
also find us on TikTok.
Perfect. Thank you so much. All right. Stay tuned, everyone. We will be right back with
more.

Welcome back to the show. We are joined here with Ryan Bould. I'm excited to have him
back here talking about his shop. That's right, CBD surgeons and really all the work
that he's doing to help people out there with many things from ailments, especially
medical ailments, right? Pain, suffering, but a lot of his products obviously can help
us in so many different ways. So let's welcome you back to the show. How's it going?
I'm doing great today, Joe. How are you doing today?
I'm good. It's a Monday. Believe it or not, a happy Monday here in New York because the
weather is getting a little nicer. Yeah, you're too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I want to talk more again about your company and now it's not just you
who owns the company, right? You have a co-owner and she's a female. What's her name? Is this
Sheila?
Yesterday is my name is Sheila and I'm Ryan Bould.
Hey, Sheila.
Hi.
How are you doing? Nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you too. I've been listening throughout the podcast with you, been with
Ryan and thank you very much for the opportunity to talk about something we're very passionate
about.
Well, clearly. Just before we talk more about the business and how you're involved and how
difficult it is being a woman in the cannabis business, let me just find out more about
you because I didn't get to meet you yet. How did the two of you connect? Tell me a little
bit about your background if you don't mind.
Well, my background is I spent 10 years as a mortgage rep and I spend most of my time
wandering around in commercial buildings. I'm a commercial realtor. I do residential
real estate as well, but I prefer the commercial end of it just because most of it is working
with men and I'm very good on my feet and I enjoy it.
Wonderful. Well, let's talk about now. How long have you guys known each other for?
We've known each other for over 20 years.
Oh my goodness. All right. So trust is not an issue. How did it all work starting this
business and how did you guys come up with this? And I want to talk more about the difficulties
of being a woman in this cannabis business if you don't mind.
I don't really find it being difficult just because I am comfortable working around professional
men. Most of the difficulty I find is trying to encourage other people to try something
different because there's such a stigma about cannabis products that most people, my age,
I'm 61 years old. Being 61 years old, many of my friends and colleagues, we're not
forced, but we're in the situation where we're taking care of our parents. We have our kids
and then we have our parents. And a lot of the parents, when you have one ailing parent,
it really takes an effect on the other parents. So there's a lot of stress and trying to get
people to try something different for their symptoms other than prescriptive drugs. I
don't advise people to come off of their prescriptive drugs, but elderly people are so abused with
prescription drugs that sometimes the kids need to take a look and see what the parents
are taking because a lot of their problems are the very medications that they're taking.
I don't even know sometimes. I'm just on a different spectrum as Ryan. Ryan is a younger
man and younger people take CBD for other reasons. For older people, they just want to feel better.
It's true for sure. A lot of us want to feel better. Ryan, how old are you?
I'm 28. Do you mind me asking how old you are? I'm 45. I'm 61.
Aliments are starting to set in. When I turn 40, I feel like, ugh, there's so much going
on in my body. I could use some relief. You're right. Different ages, different things happen
to our bodies. A lot of people need relief. CBD surgeons is one of those places, obviously,
that can really help. Please, if you don't mind, you can continue with the conversation.
There's so much more that you guys want to discuss about the company and making decisions and all.
I guess what has been really interesting with Sheila and I working together is kind of more of,
I guess, our approaches to, as you can tell, I'm pretty sure, in the conversation.
Sheila tends to stand around her age group and what she's kind of been good at all of her life.
She kind of focuses on those things. Then I'm more on the digital side and trying to connect
to trends, I guess you would say. We have two totally different ways of going about it.
Together, when they finally come together, which it has been for the last few months,
kind of watching everything come together, it's really cool to see both of our approaches
working with each other and having both of those avenues to explore as a business.
Give me some examples, if you don't mind. The two of you have been working together.
Is there a time when you both have to rely on each other for the best solution?
Does someone have more knowledge in one area than the other?
I feel like I'm the, how would you say, correcter. I try to keep things on the more health and wellness
where with the younger people and the people that Ryan is associated with just because of his age,
they're looking at it at a different mindset.
For me, sometimes when I see some things that maybe he's posting or he's passionate about, I come around and say,
hey, have you thought about it from a different set of eyes?
I think that's a good balance between us because there's so much education that needs to be taught
for people who want relief. It's just amazing to me how many people will think nothing about taking a pill.
We talk about CBD there like they look at you with horns.
I mean, a plant-based management system, it's been around since biblical time.
There's so many good herbs that are out there that do have health benefits.
Herbal teas and things like that to help people calm themselves down.
I mean, when you're a mom, the first thing you try to do when you teach your child is to teach them how to calm themselves down.
I just think that our society has just become a place where everybody just thinks you just get a pill and everything is better.
It doesn't work that way. It just doesn't.
Some of the products that we have, especially the face cream, like I said, I'm 61 years old.
I have people that have tried our product and they just cannot even believe.
One of the girls says, I have to put my face cream on because it wakes my face up.
I laugh about it because I put it on every day.
It does. It just kind of makes your skin glow and it makes you feel good.
We're trying just to do good things for a lot of people, but I concentrate in the professional world I'm in only because I'm in it all day long.
It's true. I get it. I get it. I get it.
I also wanted to ask you guys about being able to see things differently through a different perspective, obviously.
You helped the women and you helped relate to the guys.
Maybe you guys could talk a little bit about some of your reviews on your products as well.
Yeah. I kind of wanted to focus on something maybe very, very recently.
We have Rose here. She gave us a review on TrussPilot five days ago.
Five-star review, prompt delivery and courteous.
The delivery of my gummy order was prompt and the driver was very courteous.
He showed concern for my health situation and is very knowledgeable about the benefits of the products.
That's probably one of our employees, Dan, probably delivered that one.
We have Cindy here, Yummy Gummies. This was March 20th.
I had the pleasure of reviewing a pack of gummies from CBD Surgeons.
They are delicious as well as the packaging was great.
I don't tolerate some edibles very well due to other companies not dosing correctly, but I did very well with these.
Their products are very well worth the money, so make sure to try them.
And, yeah, you mind if we do one more?
No, of course. Go for it. We got three minutes left. Go ahead.
Awesome. So we also got Daniel Laliberdi. Oh, that one's like an accidentally tap the different button.
Let's see. Okay. He said, excellent product.
I recently purchased some CBD gummies from CBD Surgeon and they worked wonders.
I was having issues going to and staying asleep and these helped me sleep soundly through the night.
I would definitely recommend CBD Surgeons and their products to anyone outfacing similar issues.
And, yeah, I mean, we have, you know, we have a bunch of reviews in all different places,
which has been the problem for us kind of trying to centralize all of our reviews at one place, which is,
if you guys go to, you know, if you go to our website, www.cbdsurgeons.shop,
you'll see like one of the first things you'll see is a little tag with all of our reviews and, yeah.
Awesome. Well, thank you so much. And anything else you want to add before you go?
Pleasure to have your partner in crime here today. It's exciting to get to talk to her.
So, Sheila, we want to thank you for being here.
Anything you want to close out with for the audience today?
I'd just like to say thanks for having us on. You know, it's a challenge to continue to keep educating people,
but they're listening. They really and truly are. They know, but, you know, they don't want to go against their doctor,
but they know that there's a better way because, you know, they want to feel better.
Yeah. And that's what we're all about. We just want to make people feel better.
Perfect. All right. Well, thank you again. If we want to reach out again,
remind us of the website one more time and also the free shipping over,
how much do you have to spend for the free shipping deal?
Right now, it's all orders over $50. Kind of promotional thing that we have going on with you guys.
All orders over $50 is free shipping. You can go to www.cbdsurgeons.shop.
You can give us a call as well, 586-246-5852,
or you can even send us an email, operations at cbdsurgeons.shop,
or even when you're on our website, you can message us as well, directly from the web.
Thank you guys so much. Pleasure to have you here.
We'll be looking forward to the next time we get to speak again, Sheila and Ryan.
And you guys have a great day. Okay?
You as well. Thank you.
Thank you so much. And to all of our listeners, we appreciate you.
Stay tuned for the show is coming right up.

Hello, Ernie. How are you?
I'm doing so dang good. How are you?
I'm doing great. So they told me you were just a Zoom audio today.
You're not doing a Zoom show. Did you know that?
I didn't know that. I would love to do a video because so many of these things,
and we can just use the audio if we need to.
Yeah. That's a nice tip.
So my camera's not even connected then. So hold on.
I told her, yeah, I checked with the station earlier.
I said, I think he should be a Zoom. She says, no, he's just audio.
So hold on. Let me just make sure that's okay with the station.
It should be obviously, but again, I don't know your packages and stuff, how it works.
So hold on. Let me have to get my camera connected. Hold on.
No worries. Thank you.
Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm on with Ernie, but Ernie says it should be Zoom.
So I'm just letting you know we're going to do a Zoom video.
Yeah, he says it is. So I just want to let you know.
If in the end we can't use video, we'll just use the audio,
but I would love to use the video.
Yes. Yeah.
Again, I told you, I don't know your package or what you pay for.
I don't remember either.

Let's go inside the mind of a 10 year old.
I should have worn those earrings today.
I like those earrings. Gabby has those awesome earrings.
I need to ask her where she got those, but that's just what she would want me to do.
I'll have Michaela ask her for me.
Buckle up, Sarah.
Yeah, but then Michaela will be like, why don't you just ask her yourself?
That's just like Michaela.
Sarah, buckle up.
Michaela is such a great name. I wish I was called Michaela.
There's like a dozen Sarahs in my class.
Hey, we're not hitting the road until you buckle up, Ernie.
Oh, yeah. Seatbelt. I forget sometimes because my brain is like busy, you know?
I wonder if there's pizza at school today.
Sometimes it can be tough to get through to your kids, but it's not impossible.
Always make sure they're wearing their seatbelts, even on short drives.
Remember, you have the keys, you have the power.
Never give up until they buckle up.
