243. Breaking Barriers: Caitlyn Krebs on Leading Cannabis Biotech and Balancing Family Life

Author: Ellen Scanlon May 28, 2024 Duration: 23:22
Did you know that men make up 92% of CEOs of S&P 500 companies? Embracing the spirit of “if you can see it, you can be it,” we continue our Women in Business series with Caitlyn Krebs, CEO and co-founder of Nalu Bio, a pioneering startup immersed in the cutting-edge world of cannabis biotech. Caitlyn shares how tagging endangered turtles in Hawaii as a kid ignited her love for science, how she balances the demands of running a company with two young children, and why she believes in “no-high” cannabinoids. Discover how Nalu Bio’s innovative approach is transforming cannabis into a vital everyday supplement, much like vitamins. "I believe cannabinoids are the next big thing, much like vitamins were 70 years ago. Back then, no one knew what vitamins did or what they were for, but now everyone takes them."

Ellen Scanlon’s How to Do the Pot is an award-winning conversation that demystifies cannabis with a focus on women’s experiences. This isn’t a technical manual or a dry lecture; it’s a space where curiosity meets practical, joyful advice. The podcast explores how cannabis can intersect with health, well-being, and daily life, tackling questions that often go unasked. You’ll hear specific discussions about finding the right strain for relaxation or intimacy, using CBD for menstrual discomfort, and the nuanced differences between varieties like Harlequin and Gelato. There’s a deliberate and thoughtful choice in language here, too, favoring the term “cannabis” over other outdated labels. At its heart, the series amplifies personal stories and expert insights, creating a resource that feels both informative and deeply relatable. Whether you’re seeking relief, exploring for fun, or just want to understand the landscape better, this podcast provides a welcoming and smart guide through the often overwhelming world of cannabis, all from a perspective that is genuinely for women and by women.
