In this episode, my guest is Stephanie Wang, Founder and CEO of KA! Empathogenics, plant-based empathogenic supplements featuring Kanna - a heart-opening succulent plant from South Africa that is clinically proven to reduce tension, lift mood and improve focus, helping people feel more alive, capable and connected as they navigate everyday stress.
The discussion revolves around the intersection of psychedelics, design, and human consciousness. Wang shares her journey from a successful finance career to exploring healing modalities and eventually founding her company, which focuses on creating plant-based products with a mission of enhancing human consciousness, by bringing more heart-centeredness to the world via greater awareness of our interconnection with each other and nature. Kanna is a heart-opening, psychoactive (not psychedelic) plant. It has been revered for thousands of years in South Africa for its life-changing mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational benefits, and now modern science is finally catching on. The adaptogen Kanna has been clinically proven to balance and regulate your nervous system to build mental and emotional resilience with continuous use over time.
Stephanie also gives many insights into building a brand mindful and within social, environmental and cultural contexts. You will also learn how her brand communication and visualisation are based on solid grounds.
