FOUNDER #17. Building £1 BILLION CBD Business After 16 Years as British Commando - Farard Darver

FOUNDER #17. Building £1 BILLION CBD Business After 16 Years as British Commando - Farard Darver

Author: Dodge Woodall February 25, 2026 Duration: 1:26:07

Farard Darver opens up about leaving a 16-year military career - including tours in Afghanistan - to build a global CBD brand from scratch. After battling chronic pain and relying on painkillers, he discovered an alternative that would change his life and spark a new mission. What started as a personal solution is now a company operating across multiple continents, backed by 38 investors, and on track to become a £1 billion enterprise.


He speaks candidly about the reality of entrepreneurship - walking away from a guaranteed pension, risking everything, raising £2.2 million, and grinding through years of uncertainty. From combat zones to boardrooms, this is a story of discipline, resilience, and betting it all on a vision.


This is the eventful life of Farard Darver.
