The Famous Bowl and Why It’s Silly to Be Afraid of Cannabis with Julia Gosnell

Julia Gosnell arrived in the cannabis world following an impressive thirty-plus years in mainstream corporate America. She is also the mom of two, and the COO of Hippo Premium Packaging which she co-founded with Kary Radestock, a powerhouse in her own right. 

Before quitting her corporate job in 2017 to focus entirely on cannabis packaging, Julia and Kary attended one of the first MJ Biz Conference in November  2015 in Las Vegas, and saw for themselves the opportunities in cannabis packaging. But Julia wasn’t sold on jumping in, yet. 

However, when Kary established the Hippo Premium Packaging in 2016 Julia stepped up to help, and together they set out on their mission to provide superior products and services to the cannabis industry - with pride, passion and professionalism.

And although Julia has a personal relationship with cannabis, she is also the mother of a seventeen-year old daughter who for the first seven years was medicated heavily to control her seizures. But this brave mama educated herself on the powers of cannabis and transformed her daughter’s life. 

The ladies are talking about cannabis as medicine, cannabis packaging and  the potential for cannabis to renew American industry with Julia Gosnell, COO of  Hippo Premium Packaging.
