#102: Every Good Product Needs to Solve a Real Problem with Garrett Greller

Summary: Garrett Greller is the Co-Founder of Uncle Bud’s Hemp. The company offers a collection of pain relief, skincare, sun care, personal care, and pet care products. He attended Indiana University from 2014 to 2016 and earned his Bachelor’s degree in Creative Advertising and New Media Marketing. The founding of Uncle Bud’s Hemp originated with a problem Garrett faced as a teen - at just 16 he was diagnosed with arthritis. He tried a variety of medicines to relieve his pain, but nothing worked. Eventually, he experimented with hemp oil from a dispensary and found that it greatly reduced his pain without any negative side effects. However, shortly after finding this helpful solution, he moved to Indiana for college where the oil was illegal. Garrett and his Dad decided they wanted to make their own legal hemp product for pain relief. They knew a manufacturer and began getting samples. Garrett tested everything on himself and found one that worked great. After experiencing relief from his chronic pain, he wanted to share his solution with others. It was then that Uncle Bud’s Hemp was born. While it was not smooth sailing to get Uncle Bud’s off the ground, it is now sold in every Wal-Mart nationwide and has been picked up by GNC, Amazon, Urban Outfitters, Kroger, Target, Ace Hardware, Big 5, and Vitacost. Through this roller-coaster journey, Garrett has learned a lifetime of business secrets in just a few short years.
