Quando pensamos numa startup que produz sapatilhas modernas feitas a partir de canábis, a última imagem que nos vem à cabeça é a de Maria Otília, a avó do Bernardo - o nosso convidado desta semana!  Muito menos pensaríamos nesta parceria insólita mas aconteceu!   Aos 77 anos, esta avó portuguesa ajudou o neto a lançar a 8000Kicks, uma marca nacional vegan e sustentável que chegou ao mercado em maio de 2019. O componente principal do tecido é feito a partir de uma fibra industrial da canábis, o cânhamo, que tem inúmeras vantagens do ponto de vista ecológico.  Para produzir os ténis da 8000kicks, é utilizada cinco vezes menos água do que a necessária no cultivo do algodão e não são precisos quaisquer pesticidas ou herbicidas para que cresça. O cânhamo absorve o CO2 da atmosfera e purifica os solos — há quem diga que pode ser plantado até 14 vezes no mesmo solo sem o danificar!    Mas ninguém disse que era fácil? Foram necessários meses de viagens por todo o mundo para escolher os melhores fornecedores que garantissem um tecido premium, forte, flexível e durável, que é completamente resistente à água e às poeiras.  A marca orgulha-se ainda de produzir as “primeiras palmilhas do mundo feitas de cânhamo”!!! Vão adorar este episódio, por isso não o percam!

#98: A cannabis é muito mais que uma droga c/ Bernardo Carreira

 Bernardo Carreira - Ténis de cânhamo 

How exciting can it be for you to invent something new for this world? Especially when you know, that’s going to make a big difference. It can be painstaking initially to establish a new thought or start up a whole new business with an unusual commodity, mostly when the world is prejudiced against it. Bernardo Carreira, the guest, has made a strong impact in his pursuit of manufacturing ‘shoes of hemp’, which are the first of their kind and eco-friendly. He opens up on how they had been misconstrued by many at the preliminary stage. Finally, Bernardo confesses, saying, “People misjudged, we’re on drugs, hemp is not good, this is all cannabis, we are all going to die, the planet is going to die.” So, immense courage, patience, and a lot of trial and error methods went into making a true entrepreneur out of him. Bernardo Duque Carreira is now the Founder and CEO at 8000kicks, the world’s first shoe brand, making quality hemp footwear durable and water-repellent.  Bernardo had always been fascinated with the idea of sustainability. As a result, the shoes are the world’s first kind to have insoles made exclusively from hemp. Plus, its other upcycled elements make them ultimately environmentally- friendly. In this episode of Thinking Green, Bernardo helps Mo walk through the path of his making this spellbinding journey come to pass.  Mo and Bernardo dig deep in the various aspects of industrial hemp, its durability, sustainability, acceptance in legal terms worldwide, and the ins and outs of technicalities connected to its processing. So tune in for a riveting and informational episode that drives you to gritty actions as you embark on a new venture.   What you will learn:  How Bernardo was initiated with an idea of hemp as a base material, took his first move, and launched his brand through crowdfunding campaigns. Why Bernardo feels his grandmother played a very significant role in the entrepreneurial journey of his business and what decisions of hers took them to another level. What technicalities are associated with making hemp products, and what minute details are looked upon to weave the best fabric and produce the best quality shoes. And many more!   Favorite Quote: “Hemp is a very new thing, and we are relearning how to work with hemp every day. So what we prefer to do is wait, work and learn at the same time.”    - Bernardo Carreira   Connect with Bernardo: 8000kicks website LinkedIn  Instagram   How to Get Involved: Mohammed Abdalla is the Founder &amp; CEO of Good Faith Energy and its subsidiary companies.

EP 8: Bernardo Carreira - Walking Into A World Of Green

In episode 96 of the Disruptors for GOOD podcast, I speak with Bernardo Carreira, Founder of 8000 Kicks, on creating a new category of functional sustainable footwear using cannabis hemp fibers.Bernardo, the co-founder, moved back to Portugal in 2017 to start a new project, but he didn’t know exactly what it would be. One night, after a few beers and joints with the boys, someone came up with the idea of making a shoe for smoking. It was probably an awful idea, or maybe not.Bernardo decided to give it a shot since he had seen some bags and wallets made of cannabis fibers before. He asked the most unlikely person for help: Otilia, his grandmother, with over 50 years’ experience in textiles.Together, they spent over 1 year actively working with suppliers from around the world until what is now the World’s 1st waterproof hemp shoe, a whole new category into functional sustainable footwear.Hemp is the “sober cousin” of marijuana. It has a minimal amount of psychoactive components, and for that reason it is legal everywhere in the world.Features of the sneakers: Made of Super Strong Cannabis Hemp Fibers Ecological Soles Made of Algal Blooms The World's First Natural Hemp Insoles Breathable Waterproof Sneakers 100% Vegan and Eco-friendly Shoes Designed for Those With an Active Lifestyle Listen to more Causeartist podcasts here.We are powered by:ImpactInvestor - Discover Impact Investors from around the world.Podcast Made with TransistorPodcast cover design Made with CanvaBuild amazing web platforms with Webflow
