Justin Benton:
Welcome to Roots to Riches, where natural healing meets unstoppable success. Hi, I'm Justin Benton, your guide to unlocking ancient wisdom to boost your health and your wealth. Together, we'll explore these lost secrets that can transform our lives and the world around us. Let's get started. Well, all right, welcome to Roots to Riches. How exciting to kick this new podcast off, this new rebrand for those of you that have known me in the past to follow this podcast from the Miracle Plant transitioning now into Roots to Riches. I thank you for following along. If this is the first episode you're hearing of Roots to Riches, welcome as well. I can't wait to tell you that this podcast, it's about the power of going back to our roots, whether it's natural healing, foundational values, or personal growth, and how that can lead to true riches, not just financially, but in health, relationships, and of course, purpose. You know, my why is after years of working in the natural health and seeing how it's transformed lives. Of course, my son, my family, that's how I was led to plant-based medicine. That's how I was led to the power of the raw miracle plant hemp. Cannabidiolic acid or CBDA was the missing ingredient to help unlock my son's immune system and power of his brain to heal itself and recover from a severe autism diagnosis. Again, I've realized there's a deep connection between personal healing and achieving your dreams, and this Roots to Riches podcast is my way of sharing the journey. So, I've been on a mission to help people unlock the power of natural solutions like CBDA, and along the way I've discovered how much mindset, health, and networking play a role in building success. For those of you that have listened for a while and listened to some of the previous episodes, the partnership with Russell Brunson and Secrets of Success is all about mindset and discovering these legends like Napoleon Hill and unpublished works and scouring through over $20 million invested so far in personal development books. And the library that we're building is probably gonna cost about the same, maybe a little bit more. It's a 20,000 square foot library in Boise, Idaho. To house all these books, there's gonna be an event center. It's gonna be all kind of fun technology. with holograms and all that fun stuff. But I certainly, if you heard in the past, Understanding of Power, the importance of mindset. And that's part of the five holistic principles that we talk about, mindfulness. As well as health, of course, you know, the biohacking and understanding how that we have this miracle plant that helps our body find homeostasis, which is balance. Just like when you're really healthy and you're seven years old and you get that little scratch and it's gone by the morning, our bodies want to heal, our bodies know how to heal. We just have to make sure we're giving it the right building blocks, the right nutrition to heal itself. And for every disease that's out there, there is a plant that can help. And again, the raw hemp, the raw cannabis has its miracle plant powers that I've seen over and over again in my family, outside of my family, thousands upon thousands of people around the world that I've seen this miracle plant help. It's kind of like a cheat code because regardless of whatever issue that you're having, this miracle plant, it talks to and supplements what's called an endocannabinoid system. Every mammal has it. And when you have low cannabinoids like CBD and CBG and all the rest, it's called an endocannabinoid deficiency syndrome, which Dr. Ethan Russo discovered and proved that any disease that you have, any ailment that you have, can be attributed to a lack of cannabinoids. of things like CBD. And what we talk about is called CBDA, which is the raw version of CBD or cannabidilic acid that the plant makes, which has been proven to be up to a thousand times more powerful. So again, it's not like we're not going to be talking about the Miracle Plant because the new podcast has been rebranded and renamed. We just want to encompass, have a brand that's more encompassing of what we talk about here. Because obviously in the beginning, it was all about hemp and all about health. And obviously COVID happened and that was what transitioned the whole world to shopping online. Now we've got AI. And so if we're going to reach a billion people, you know, by the end of this year in 2025, about the power of this miracle plant, it is through, you know, networking, it's through online, it's through going viral, it's through this world that we're in, this virtual world. And this podcast is here to talk all about it and to document the journey. Like I said before as well, I realized that the more I focused on my health and purpose, the more everything else, business, relationships, finances, started to align. And so, you know, our partner Russell Brunson renamed his podcast. He'd been talking about it forever. He had a bunch of names. But finally, he renamed his Marketing Secrets podcast to the Russell Brunson Show because he talks about, you know, obviously marketing and funnels and sales, but personal development and even biohacking and, you know, sprinkles in some some family and faith and wrestling as well. So he rebranded. My good friend Alex Robles, who got me started, showed me the ropes on podcasting. He actually is producing this on his Green Coast radio, so check that out, internet radio. He rebranded his show. And so I was like, well, you know, that's a good idea. And it really got me thinking, you know, what would I do if I rebranded it and did the research and Roots to Riches is what we came up with, you know. You know, just so you know that the topics that we'll be covering in future episodes, you know, there'll be stories of transformation and success. Insights into natural healing, of course, you know, raw CBDA, nutrition, mindfulness, strategies for wealth creation and impact networking. If you followed my journey and the networking aspect, like I said, I was in the physical world and most of us were. Operated in the physical world, hopped on planes, went to conferences, did the thing, belly to belly, right? But when COVID hit in March of 2020, which is coming up on five years ago, if you can believe that, sometimes it feels like 50 years ago, but this new world opened up. Zoom wasn't around. I mean, I was using it before, but no one was using it. And this whole social media world and online selling, Amazon wasn't nearly as big before March of 2020. The world shifted and it's never shifting back to this online virtual world. And so in that process, I was able to learn and align and network with people online that I never could have met that many people just doing it the old-fashioned way. So I want to give lots of insights and share the journey and secrets and hacks and things that will be able to allow you to have dream partnerships like I have with Russell Brunson. You know, just figure out ways that you can align with the people in the organizations that are going to share your message, share your product, your service, so you can help as many people as you're called to serve. As well as, you know, we're going to talk about balancing wealth and health and happiness and that, you know, strategies, you know, for that wealth creation. And it's like, it comes down to this, right? There's the three main categories of life. There's health, wealth and relationships. And we're gonna be focusing mostly on health and wealth, but of course, when you've got two out of three, that third one can also get your own attention as well. And we're gonna bring in some aspects of spirituality. Of course, if you've listened to my previous podcasts and follow me on the Cannabossum Connection YouTube channel, we talk about ancient texts, we talk about spirituality, we talk about cannabossum. which is the Hebrew word for cannabis that was mistranslated and this miracle plant was lost for thousands of years until recently in 1975, Dr. Sula Benay, who is a, I always mess it up. She's a Hebrew epitomologist, say that fast, who discovered and proved that cannabosum truly means cannabis. And Chris Bennett, who has been on the podcast in the past, goes much deeper. We interview him. He's got five books on it. The Lost Sacrament is his latest book, which is an incredible read with great doctors and researchers in science. So we're going to be mixing all of it in. And for those of you that have listened, you know what I'm going to talk about. But we just wanted to have a fresh start to more encompassing. We're always going to talk about hemp, cannabis, the miracle plant. But we also want to talk about networking. We also want to talk about this new online world. We also want to talk about your health is your wealth and all of those types of things. So another thing too, did you know that stress is one of the biggest blockers to success? When you take care of your body and mind, whether it's through CBDA, meditation, prayer, or better nutrition, you unlock the potential to think clearer, connect better, and dream even bigger. So again, what's one area in your life, whether it's health, mindset, relationships, that you know needs healing to unlock your full potential? Think about that and that's what this is about and we want to hear from you. You can send me an email, jbenton at 101cbd.org. Send me an email and I'd love to hear what are some of those things in your life, whether it's wealth, health, relationships, mindset, that you know needs healing. And we can have a podcast specifically when we get those common themes on those most popular ideas and things that you want to cover. I'm happy to bring people on, have interviews, I'm sure we will have more, and go down these rabbit holes, if you will.

And I wanted to close with a quote from good old Napoleon Hill, which said, strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle. And this podcast is here to help you through that journey one step at a time. So for next week, we'll talk about the connection between mindset and money. why the stories you tell yourself about success could be the key to unlocking your full potential. So I want to thank you for listening. I want to thank you for tuning in and listening to our initial Roots to Riches podcast. I'm really excited about it.

So thank you, everybody, for swinging by the Roots to Rich's podcast, and we can't wait to bring you some great guests, some great thought-provoking insights, and things you won't hear anywhere else in the world. There just isn't. And there's a new reawakening here, January 2025. We've got some people that are gonna be coming in and taking over departments that, frankly, have not been protecting us, whether it's the FDA or the USDA, Big Food, Big Ag. Big Pharma, they've done a disservice to us as Americans. And I think we're all ready for a lifting of consciousness to get back to our roots, to eat healthier, to eat fruits and vegetables, organic foods, to have your own garden. We'll be talking about how to grow your victory garden in your backyard. Roughly 50% of Americans 50 years ago grew their own grew their own food. Now it's less than 1% in America. So we gotta get back to our roots. We gotta eat healthy, organic, whole foods. We need to eat apples, not juice boxes with high fructose corn syrup that's got an apple on it. And it's not your fault. You didn't know. We were bamboozled by these big food companies. I mean, the big tobacco companies, you know, R.J. Reynolds, And the like, you know, when cigarettes were deemed to cause cancer, which they had for many years, they went and bought all the big food companies, these big tobacco companies like Nabisco, and they used their scientists to create addictive chemicals and thousands, you know, different types of sugars and salts, names you can't pronounce, and preservatives. to make them cheaply ultra-processed and that's why we have all this sickness in our bodies right now. It's because we've been feeding ourselves and the FDA has been allowing these toxins to be in our food system and the pesticides and the pharmaceuticals are in the water table now, there's so much of it now. The soil has been completely stripped of any nutrients or microbiome. I mean, it's ugly out there. We live in the most toxic country in the world, the most toxic food. We allow more toxins than any other country. Other countries won't allow Fruit Loops like you just saw that they got rid of red dye. I wonder why that is. I wonder what change is about to happen with the FDA that they would get rid of red dye now. And I'm glad that they did, but there are thousands of chemicals like red dye number three that are killing us. And it's time for us to get educated about how we can detoxify our bodies, how we can be at peak performance, how we can have clear thoughts, how we can be strong and healthy, and how we can live abundance in our everyday life and our dreams and everything that comes along with it. So that's what Roots to Riches is all about. I hope you enjoy. Like I said, subscribe, write a review. That would be awesome to get us on the algorithm. And I really appreciate it. So on the count of three, we always said heal the world. So we're going to do that now and get out there and heal the world, heal ourselves. And yeah, thanks for tuning in. I really do appreciate it. And I look forward to bringing you a whole bunch of cool podcasts in the future. So on the count of three, let's say heal the world. Here we go. One, two, three. Heal the world.
