Bogdan Chugunov

As a cancer survivor I passed through a lot. After the tumor was surgically removed in 2005 my life has turned upside-down. Western medicine has not provided with any solution for how to stay in remission after the surgery. A chemo and radio-nuclear treatment are parts of a treatment, not a healing one I think. A preventive medicine in American transcription means to check up cancer development progress regularly performing colonoscopy and endoscopy as often as my health insurance permits.
I flew around the globe and visited those countries/regions/compounds where statistically the mortality rate caused by a gastric cancer stayed close to zero. I stayed at such places learning everything about those folks’ daily diets and found several ingredients local people consume regularly as their regular food that I believe prevents them from developing gastrointestinal cancer. Such countries/regions are New Zealand, Brazil, Turkey, Mongolia, Uruguay.
I changed my life and business course to natural supplements and functional foods importer/distributor. Later I became a brand owner of Bee Magic and Health Republic and brought several natural remedies to USA: Manuka honey, bee propolis extracts, Shilajit, Siberian cedar sap oleoresin, beaver castoreum, maral antlers, chaga and reishi mushrooms.
I do believe such remedies indirectly prevent human mutated cells from converting into cancerous stage. I've learned a lot about Manuka Honey (living in New Zealand), now I know how to identify real Manuka honey from a fake ( my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIo7IYRuFhkGiOUxvNz4kfw
tells you a little what I mean), I can tell about common tricks nowadays mass Manuka honey manufacturers use to keep their brand “competitive” on the US market and why FDA does not control the "Manuka honey" quality.
I'm proficient in another beehive product that human civilization has known for at least 4000 years - bee propolis and I can tell about what this strange looking natural substance is.
I can touch some sort of “witchcraft” ingredients such as beaver castoreum, maral antler's powder, reishi and chaga mushrooms, cedar sap oleoresin, to use as an alternative medicine. Based on my personal experience of being in remission for 17 years, I can talk about such products professionally because I consumed them daily and for a long period of time.
I can share such knowledge acquired from my own experience with a "Guiney pig" credentials .
Finally, I pose myself as a "laboratory rat" or "a rabbit" (Guinea pig in American translation) who tests all natural remedies for healing effect on myself before recommending it to people. I do consume several supplements and functional foods daily to heal: my broken leg, colon polyps’ development suppression, better blood circulation, and soft tissue recovery after surgery or mechanical damage. Willing to share my experience , results with interested parties.

Mandy Lile

Mandy Lile

Potency is defined as “The power of something to influence or make an impression” which is what Potency No. 710 is setting out to achieve.

When Aesthetician Mandy Lile created Potency No. 710, she was already working with plant based ingredients some 20 years, but she became very intrigued by the mystery of what she felt may be the long lost secret ingredient in skincare, cannabis. After embracing cannabinoids like CBD and CBG in her product formulas, and seeing the results and abundance of testimonials, the answer was revealed, and Potency No. 710 has been disrupting the skincare scene with cannabinoid skincare products since 2018.

Since childhood, Mandy has had a gift for taking an ugly situation and making it beautiful. Unfortunately,thanks to draconian cannabis prohibition, her late father spent 15 years incarcerated on cannabis charges encapsulating much of her childhood. This is, without a doubt, something that fuels her fire to change the stigma surrounding this plant, and she is doing so through beauty.

Since opening her first skincare clinic at the age of 20, Mandy has gained a plethora of firsthand knowledge on the importance of safe ingredients. It is this force and the intentions that she puts into the products Potency offers that stand them apart from the rest, making it more than a brand but rather a lifestyle—a lifestyle of self-care powered by nature and higher intentions.

From hometown high school pals to celebrities, Potency No. 710 products are being embraced by thousands of people around the globe. In honor of the ones that have supported her along her journey, Mandy loves to give back through various philanthropy efforts. She is the sponsor of many small events, businesses, and organizations not only in the cannabis culture but in her local community as well.

Mandy works with several causes including the following.

 Watts Community Core
 Cannabis for Children International
 Women Empowered in Cannabis
 Cannabis Spa Association
 Cannabis Physicians Association

Mandy along with her Fiance’ Harry are the owners of 2 dispensaries in Needles California, H Street Patient Care and The Bud Farmacy. Both of these dispensaries are vertically integrated and have been serving Southern California and the surrounding areas for over a decade!

Mandy’s story and Potency No. 710 products have been featured in a variety of publications including Allure, Medium, Modern Luxury, Hello Giggles, Elevated Lifestyle Magazine, Vanilla Plum, Refinery 29, The Social NY, and many others

Alice Nedosekina

Alice Nedosekina

I'm Alice Nedosekina, a product and design leader who accidentally stumbled into product design from a financial analyst role - and it turned out to be the best detour of my career.

My background in economics and data analysis gave me something most designers don't have: I can read a P&L, understand technical constraints, and build a business case as easily as I can sketch an interface. This weird combination has been my secret weapon for 13+ years, helping me design experiences that actually ship and deliver results.

I've worked across the spectrum - from launching a challenger bank from scratch (70% waitlist conversion) to scaling design systems across 5+ product lines at a global fintech. I've designed for millions of users across 20+ countries, led teams of up to 6 designers, and worked with everyone from C-suite executives to engineers in the trenches.

What gets me excited? Complex problems. Give me cross-border payments, blockchain platforms, or regulatory constraints, and I'm energised. I love finding the elegant solution that balances what users want, what technology can deliver, and what makes business sense.

I've delivered measurable impact: 7-17% increases in conversion rates, 50% faster sales cycles, 13% jumps in digital adoption. But beyond the numbers, I'm proud of building teams, mentoring designers, and establishing design operations that help companies scale.
Currently, I'm Head of UX at R3, working on enterprise blockchain and CBDC platforms that are reshaping how institutions think about digital currency. Before this, I spent 2+ years at Nium leading design across international markets, launched a neobank, worked with Standard Chartered's innovation lab, and led digital transformation for ODEON Cinemas.

I also spent three years at an agency working with clients like Sony, CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, and BDO - which taught me how to quickly understand different business models and deliver quality under pressure.

I'm technical enough to understand front-end constraints (I can code in HTML/CSS/React when needed), research-driven (34 user studies at Nium alone), and early to adopt new tools (been using AI in design workflows since before it was trendy).

Based in the UK and always interested in opportunities where I can build something meaningful, lead great teams, and solve problems that actually matter.

Morgan now resides in Denver, where she enjoys the balance of city life and the outdoors. She shares her home with her partner, Alexis, an environmental journalist, and their rescue dog, Lilo. Outside of work, Morgan enjoys trail running, watercolor painting, and attending outdoor film festivals. She is an advocate for increased broadband access in rural Colorado and participates in discussions on tech and education equity.

Morgan Callahan is driven by ethical innovation, collaborative leadership, and a commitment to long-term impact. Whether working with multinational corporations or mentoring emerging entrepreneurs, Morgan remains focused on integrity, empathy, and clarity. In the future, Morgan hopes to further integrate climate-forward strategies into corporate innovation models and launch an independent think tank dedicated to sustainable economic design.
