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

Hey, I'm Nikita. By day I'm a strategy consultant at Founders Intelligence, part of Accenture & the Founders Forum family: I talk to startups and VCs, then turn that into strategy for corporate C-suites. I've helped run corporate accelerators and partnership labs (from Diageo Fusion to the Amazon Sustainability Accelerator), coaching founders, aligning corporate x start-ups interests, and making sure pilots with big corporates actually happen instead of dying in procurement. I ran 5 real-world startup x corporate pilots myself as part of corporate innovation strategy projects, and build well-rounded expertise in several areas, from energy & mobility to finance & sales.

By night I build. My three main projects are:
1) Sorta: a GUI for AI, exploring new interfaces for interacting with AI for research and knowledge workflows. Just coming out of stealth.
2) Klava: a BlackBerry-inspired iOS keyboard with my own on-device prediction engine, 27 languages and ~3k downloads, made solo with AI tools
3) BlokBlok.io: a niche marketplace, catalogue and community for fans of Mega - LEGO's biggest competitor. I saw a gap in the market, and always wanted to build something community-first.

I'm also a founding member of the 181 Angels syndicate, have backed about a dozen UK startups through that or crowdfunding, and worked with founders directly on a range of topics.

Jill Shortreed is a business strategist, speaker, educator, and founder of Fable & Firm Co. Long before “mompreneur” became a hashtag, she was building businesses while raising five children.

Over more than 25 years, Jill built what became the largest retail balloon shop in North America, taught business and industry education for more than a decade, and served as Director of Education for a leading balloon manufacturer.

Then, in her late 50s, Jill found herself rebuilding her career and creating a new chapter from the experience she had spent decades earning. That season shaped the message at the heart of her work: starting over is not the same as starting from scratch.

Jill speaks on business strategy, resilience, reinvention, women in business, and making the right next move when life or business changes unexpectedly. Her talks combine real stories, practical strategy, and honest lessons from building, leading, losing, and rebuilding. Audiences leave with more than inspiration—they leave knowing what to do next.
