Cyo Nystrom: How unique products can break down cannabis and sexual health stigmas

Episode Summary

Like cannabis, the stigmas around intimate health—especially for those with vaginas—often keep consumers from purchasing products that would improve their daily lives. At the intersection of these two sectors, brands like Quim work to break down barriers and develop products that leverage plant-based wellness to address the sexual health issues faced by many. In this episode, Cyo Nystrom, co-founder and CEO of Quim, talks about her journey from making homemade topical products to scaling a successful cannabis-based sexual health brand. She explains her strategy for messaging and raising capital while highlighting the importance of empowering consumers to take control of their own personal health.
