Carrie Tice, founder and CEO of Octavia Wellness is innovative, energetic and passionate. Her mother had been diagnosed several years ago with Alzheimer’s and through a somewhat humorous experience Carrie discovered the benefits of cannabis for seniors.
The results were so life-changing that Carrie and her mother decided to take a big moxie move; Carrie resigned from her high-tech corporate job and she and her mother together sold their Victorian home on Octavia Street in San Francisco to kick-start Octavia Wellness. Octavia Wellness focuses on providing seniors and cannabis beginners with customized cannabis therapies.
On today’s show, Carrie shares some amazing business tips and stories. She’s funny, clever, powerful and passionate.

I’m really excited to have Gail Becker, founder and CEO of CAULIPOWER, on the show today!
When everything feels urgent, everything seems equal. Nothing could be further from the truth. Being “busy” doesn’t necessarily move you closer to reaching your goals. Successful business owners understand you have to work from a clear sense of priority.
Yesterday, I decided to take myself out to lunch to one of my favorite local sushi restaurants. The tables at this eatery are quite close together so it’s easy (if sometimes uncomfortable) to overhear what your neighbor at the next table is discussing. I happened to sit down next to two men who were deep in conversation. As I sat there minding my own business, trying to focus on the NY Times, I couldn’t help but catch some of the conversation these two men were having. It goes something like this: “You know I just want to get my idea out there. I know it can be successful and yet there’s always that possibility that it will fall flat.” (Sound familiar?) The response from his dining companion? “I know.” By the way, this was his dining companion’s response the entire lunch. He could of actually had lunch alone and placed a tape recorder on the other side of the table that just repeated the words, “I know”, throughout the meal : -(.
If you look closely at what’s happening in the Western world–in politics and gender identity movements, and at work—you may notice that women are receiving more recognition for the unique qualities we bring to the table. Is there a lot more work to do? YES! But it’s time to cheer for all that we’re seeing right now.
