In this episode, Aimee Montgomery shares the story she’s never fully told — how she went from fighting for her life to finding the cure that restored her clarity, her energy, and the direction of her entire business.
She reveals how the same pattern-recognition that helped her heal is the same ability she uses to scale brands: seeing what others miss, identifying the invisible friction, and understanding the truth beneath the symptoms.
Aimee also opens up about what it was like to run a business while sick — the blurred boundaries, the undercharging, the exhaustion — and how returning to full health brought back her standards, her voice, and her strategic strength.
Inside this episode:
• The cure that changed everything
• Why healing sharpened her ability to read brands
• How boundaries collapse when the founder is overwhelmed
• What happened inside her agency once she regained clarity
• Why growth isn’t marketing — it’s removing friction
• The launch of To Thrive Health and her upcoming book
This is a conversation about leadership, clarity, resilience, and what truly happens when the founder comes back online.
If you’ve been in a season where everything looks like it should be working but nothing is moving, this episode will shift the way you think about your business — and yourself.

How CBD Changed One Dad’s Life and Sparked a Wellness Revolution with Derek Rux Ep 256
Derek Rux is the founder of Herb Garden Co., a CBD brand dedicated to natural wellness. Derek’s main role in life is being a dedicated dad to his two young daughters and their dog, Mochi, and he created Herb Garden Co. to spend more time with them. As a longtime hemp enthusiast, he was inspired to start the company when he couldn’t find edibles that were clean, free from artificial ingredients, and truly effective. Today, we’ll dive into his journey, his mission for natural wellness, and the passion behind his products.
In this podcast you will learn:
- How CBD helped a former alcohol user recover and discover a healthier, plant-based lifestyle.
- The personal story behind Herb Garden Co., a CBD brand built around natural wellness and fatherhood.
- What the 2018 Farm Bill really changed for the cannabis and CBD industry — and why it matters.
- The science-backed ingredients used in sleep and energy gummies, including THC, CBN, CBG, terpenes, and medicinal mushrooms.
- Why most consumers care more about transformation than ingredients — and how that impacts product marketing.
- Real-life success stories from people using Derek's products, including a college student and a cancer survivor.
- What makes CBD products truly child-safe and eco-friendly, from packaging to responsible sourcing.
