'I suppose I learned a lot from him. Just taking those analogies of running a really good business. This business is just like an orchestra everybody plays their part everybody is brilliant on their instrument in their own rights. You've got to get it singing as one voice and playing together as a team.' Wise words don't you think?
David Kirby is the co-founder and CEO of the medicinal cannabis company, Avida Global. Avida Global is the first British producer of cannabis oil and isolates whose dedicated growing facility is in the North East of Colombia, near the Venezuelan border. Having raised in excess of £6m over the last couple of years, and with an impressive board of Directors including Lord Mancroft, Former Chairman of the Drug & Alcohol Foundation, Nick Davis, Founder of Memery Crystal, and Dr Inbar Maymon-Pomeranchick, one of the leading experts on medicinal cannabis, their company is on a mission to bring top quality CBD oil to businesses worldwide.
Join David and I where we chat about his early days as a classical pianist, his business journey up to founding Avida Global with Carl, the challenges they have faced, the regulations involved, what security they require (trust me it's quite a major part of their business) how they address climate change and the support Colombia offers them. David shares an insight into his mindset, what he does to switch off, his favourite author, music, takes on success and failure and much more.
Oh and why two choices for the 'chocolate break' - he wouldn't opt for just one!
