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

Soy Sofía Saglietti, fundadora de BIG Fiestas, organizadora de eventos hace más de 14 años y docente de diseño y creatividad.

Durante años trabajé creando experiencias para cumpleaños, casamientos y eventos, pero con el tiempo entendí que celebrar va mucho más allá de una fiesta: tiene que ver con las emociones, los vínculos y los recuerdos que construimos con otras personas.

Esa mirada fue la que dio origen a BIG Fiestas, una startup argentina creada desde cero junto a Nicolás Rivanera, buscando transformar la manera en la que las personas organizan eventos y conectan con proveedores.

Hoy mi foco está en construir comunidad alrededor de un producto digital con propósito, combinando creatividad, experiencia humana, tecnología y comunicación emocional.

En mis charlas me interesa hablar del lado más real de emprender: validar ideas, sostener una visión, conectar con las personas y entender que, detrás de cualquier plataforma, lo verdaderamente importante siempre es lo humano

Richard Torrey

Richard Torrey

Richard Torrey was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, and later moved with his family to Ludlow, Massachusetts. From a young age, he developed a strong work ethic and regularly took on different jobs to help earn money. Throughout childhood and adolescence, he worked mowing lawns, painting houses, babysitting, baling hay, and managing newspaper routes. Growing up in a family with limited financial resources taught him the importance of saving money and working consistently toward long-term goals.
Rick carried this discipline into adulthood, remaining focused on improving his skills and creating opportunities for himself. His determination to work and learn simultaneously became a defining part of his early years and later contributed heavily to his success in both technology and business.
Rick Torrey completed high school while continuing to work multiple jobs and take classes whenever possible. He enrolled in Springfield Tech computer processing school, where he developed technical skills that later became valuable in his programming career. Between 1973 and 1975, he balanced school with full-time work while also taking evening college courses. During that period, he trained full-time in Experimental Engineering at Pratt & Whitney in Hartford, Connecticut.
Richard also found time to coach Little League hockey between 1973 and 1974 despite his demanding schedule. Under his guidance, the Ludlow, Massachusetts team achieved success in regional competition. Although he could not continue coaching due to work and school responsibilities, the experience demonstrated his leadership abilities and commitment to teamwork.
Richard Torrey purchased his first family home in Windsor, Connecticut, in 1975 after years of carefully saving money. That same year, he left Pratt and Whitney to begin working at Travelers Insurance as a computer programmer. His technical knowledge and problem-solving abilities allowed him to advance quickly within the company.
Torrey later transitioned into technical support, where he played an important role in improving methods for developing computer systems. One of his most significant accomplishments was helping design more efficient access methods for computer development systems during a time when even large technology companies faced limitations in these areas. Although he found success in programming and technical work, he remained interested in exploring opportunities outside the corporate environment.
Richard Torrey's path into entrepreneurship began unexpectedly in 1987 when he loaned money to a friend who wanted to purchase a small ski shop. When the business struggled and eventually closed in 1991, he decided to purchase the store from the bank himself. At the time, he had very little retail experience, but he committed himself to learning every aspect of the business.
