Experts warn: buyer beware. By Naomi Andu January 23, 2020 *correction appended. In 2017, business was slow for Sarah Kerver. She was a sales rep for a Colorado-based company trying to push hemp and CBD products in Texas. But customers were apprehensive. “No one wanted to touch [CBD]. No one wanted to talk about it. No one was interested in carrying this product in any sort of spa or retail space,” Kerver said. Today, the market for CBD, or cannabidiol, is exploding. Stores are popping up across the state selling tinctures and topicals. It’s being mixed into smoothies and coffee at cafes. Spas are

advertising CBD massages and therapies. And much of the sudden spike in popularity is thanks to a Texas law last year that legalized hemp, the plant from which CBD is derived. “You go anywhere now, and you find something that says ‘CBD’ on it,” said Kerver, who’s now in talks with Austin distributors interested in carrying her CBD product line, called 1937 Apothecary. But buyer beware, experts warn. Anyone can sell CBD in Texas. Many of the products are advertised as natural alternatives to prescription medications and make unfounded claims to treat conditions like chron-

Previously, she marijuana is rich in THC was able to sell Colorado and produces a high, hemp CBD products before the
federal government legalized hemp because of the 2014 Farm Bill, which started a pilot program for participating states to grow industrial hemp. “There’s been more media around it since Texas has come on board, definitely,” Kerver said. “Texans are becoming more educated about it and much more open to it.” Industry leaders say they can’t calculate the exact number of new CBD businesses that have opened in Texas over the past year — in part because the Texas Department of State Health Services won’t implement licensing requirements until early this year — though anecdotally, many say they’ve seen an uptick. The Austin Chamber of Commerce counted at least three CBD-related relocations or expansions since the bill passed last summer, creating about 140 new jobs in the emerging sector. But the list, which is compiled from public media announcements and deals the chamber is involved in, isn’t comprehensive. Sisters Shayda and Sydney Torabi founded Restart CBD in September 2018, just before the Farm Bill passed. Sydney Torabi said the changes in the law have made business run more smoothly. The two originally intended to operate the business
exclusively online but decided to open a brick-andmortar location in Austin after having difficulty with several online payment companies, from momand-pop merchants to giants like PayPal, that didn’t want anything to do with cannabis. “We were a business, but it wasn’t as functional as it could’ve been until the [Texas] law passed,” Sydney Torabi said. The Torabis started with a pop-up store and expanded to a permanent location last April, a month before Texas law changed. “We were operating in a gray area until the Texas bill passed,” Sydney said. “It did take away a little bit of the stigma. Like, ‘OK, now it’s legal in Texas. We can go to a CBD shop and not feel like we’re doing something bad.’

How small businesses improve the consumer experience
Small business is big business. Though it's easy and not necessarily inaccurate to associate small businesses with Main Street, small- and medium-size companies are players in the international trade arena as well. A 2015 report from the U.S. Census Bureau found that smalland medium-sized companies comprised 97.6 percent of all identified exporters and 97.2 percent of all identified importers. Small businesses can compete in both the domestic and international trade arenas for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the experience they provide for customers. While they may not have the marketing muscle to compete with large corporations, many small businesses have perfected the art of providing topnotch experiences for their cust o m e r.

HONESTY MATTERS! Dear Dave, My wife and I are in our late 20s, and we’re on Baby Step 6. Recently, my mom reached out to me for help. She has a car lease that ends next month, and she asked to borrow $2,000 so she can pay it off. It’s a weird situation, because my parents keep separate accounts and don’t combine their finances. My mom also asked me not to tell my wife about all this. What’s your advice? Daniel Dear Daniel, I don’t do anything I can’t tell my wife about—ever. If I’m in a meeting, and someone tells me what’s said in
that room has to stay in that room, that I can’t talk to anyone else about it under any circumstances, I’ll get up and leave. In my mind, keeping things from my wife is against the law. Your mom is out of control to even think about asking you to do this, and you need to have a serious talk with her. Let her know you love her, but she has no right to ask this of you, and it’s not something you’d do. Let her know, too, that she’s never to ask for anything like this again. If she needs $2,000, she should be talking to her husband about the idea. They should be living with combined finances anyway. So, it sounds like they’ve got issues to straighten out between themselves. It’s time folks started laying their cards on the table and stopped sneaking around. That’s no way for a husband and wife to live, and your mom has no business trying to drag you into all of it behind everyone’s back! —Dave They’ll play on your emotions Dear Dave, I’m on Baby Step 2. I’ve paid off almost all my debt, and I’m living on a monthly budget. Recently, I got a call from a debt collection company about an old medical bill. They threatened to gar-
nish my wages, and from the way they talked I’m afraid they may actually do it. How should I handle this situation? Gwen Dear Gwen, First of all, they won’t garnish your wages. They can’t. For that to happen, they would have to go through all the formal, legal steps of suing you, and then they’d have to win the case. Debt collectors like to play with people’s emotions because, many times, folks will give in and do whatever they want—whether they can afford it or not. The worst thing you can do in these situations is react with panic or fear. Talk to them calmly and rationally, and explain your financial situation. You may be able to reach a compromise that works for both of you. If they get nasty, or continue to lie to you, let them know you’ll file a complaint with the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). Pushy debt collectors have a habit of getting polite and reasonable in a hurry when faced with the possibility of the federal government stepping in. Do everything you reasonably can to pay your debts, Gwen. You owe the money, and that means you have a legal and moral obligation to pay them. But you don’t have to put up with a collector’s lies and harassment!

Provocative Princess Diana Interview Discovered (NAPS)—She was known as “the people’s princess” and one of most famous women on earth, mourned worldwide at the end of her short life. But there was a lot more to Diana, Princess of Wales than many people realize. Now, in what would have been her 60th birthday year, people around the globe are dedicated Diana fans, even those who weren’t born when Lady Diana married her Prince Charming in 1981. Few, however, know the story of how she went from “shy Di” to global icon. One person with particularly good insight into just how Diana was plucked from obscurity to become the mother of a future King of England, is her former neighbor, Danae Brook. The Neighbor Who Knew Her Back in 1980, Danae was a young journalist living next door to Diana and her roommates in London’s fashionable Earls Court neighborhood. Because of this connection, and her proximity, Danae secured the first ever interview with Diana—an interview that until now has been lost in the archives. In November 1980, newspapers suggested Diana had crept on to the royal train for a secret pre-marital tryst with Charles. To defend her honor, Diana hit back with her first-ever press retaliation (of which there would be many more in the coming years). In that interview, she made it very clear that she had been picked as a potential bride for Charles
The serene and beautiful Princess Diana’s spunky side is revealed in new-found interview. “because I haven’t got a background of leaping in and out of bed with people.” She went on to say “that’s what everybody else seems to have. I mean, I haven’t had a chance to have a background like that…I am only nineteen.” And Then The Wedding Three months later, she was engaged to Charles after only thirteen dates (some chaperoned by his grandmother, the Queen Mother) and the rest, as they say, is history.
