Here we GROW! - Road Trip from Colorado to New Mexico with Glenn, Cindy & Emmett having fun while sharing Regenrus all along the way.
We've begun our journey to developing a mindfully sourced and impact-driven ecosystem of products that regenerate the body and give back to the world. Affiliates and allies are coming to the table with enthusiasm and an appreciation for product and purpose. We are working to source the best ingredients, pushing to develop transparent models for impact, and striving to grow our family of values, with aligned affiliates and product sources.
All of this magic kicked off, like a lot of magic does, with a road trip! Meet Cindy, our CEO, and Emmett, our President. For the past two weeks, they've been criss crossing across the country on a heart-led mission to align the right people, organizations, production facilities, and community holders to finalize the first product launches and affiliate kick-offs for Regenrus.
We are excited to share snippets of their story as they worked on building the business and relationships across the country. But moreso, we look forward to sharing the stories and passions of our Leaders and blossoming network of affiliates. The kind of people that have gathered together to participate in our mission and community are good hearted, fascinating, shining individuals...such as Founding Leaders Glenn Head and Donna Koontz, two incredible people that have been instrumental guides for the launch of this good work.
In Boulder, the team met with a congregation of longtime collaborators and new allies at our first leaders’ meeting. Glenn Head, one of our treasured and inspirational Founding Leaders, made this meeting possible. The whole team got a chance to discuss the tech behind our first products, and how the combination of Acemannan and CBD (as well as other ethically sourced ingredients) can contribute to the promotion of homeostasis in the Immune, Cardiovascular, Metabolic, and Endocannabinoid Systems.
There was certainly excitement for the science, but the team was also happy to report that our impact strategy was inspiring and saw great feedback! Among the crowd were doctors, chiropractors, and people with health concerns that had been helped in the past by Acemannan and cannabinoids. We are so grateful to have good-hearted people who want to contribute to the health of people and the planet on board!
Cindy and Emmett were honored to have visited with the Wumaniti Earth Native Sanctuary. These beautiful people are working to build living-wage employment for the Taos Pueblo tribe. Cindy and Emmett were blessed to be inducted as members of Wumaniti, where they participated in a sacred ceremony and were smudged with sage and eagle feathers and sat on a drum journey with Gemma Ra’Star. This experience was truly moving and such an inspiration by these wonderful people.
Empirical-Labs maintains a standard of excellence that has kept them in business for 28 years. The team got a chance to tour their facilities and their manufacturing practices, and we were amazed by their quality control standards and attention to detail. Cindy and Emmett got to “talk shop” about tweaking formulas in order to meet our rigorous standards for products. We are so excited to be moving forward with this world class team.
Since 2015 they have been working with Dr. Kenneth Proefrock NMD, a well-known educator, leading edge clinician and biochemist. His experience with liposomes predates theirs. Empirical sold their first vitamin C liposomal in 2009. Dr. Proefrock was producing injectable and oral liposomes back in 2006. Dr Proefrock has helped them create the next generation of liposomes, which we refer to as the Qualisome™ line. Qualisome™ technology is 100% owned by Empirical Labs and is not licensed from any other company.
Social Capital Markets is a conference held every year in San Francisco that represents the nexus of impact investing and social entrepreneurship. This event allows investors who want to empower people who are trying to help the world make money doing it, and the entrepreneurs who have the ideas, skills, passions, and dreams to make a difference, can come together to make a positive impact on the world together. Cindy and Emmett had a chance to go and experience a wealth of content about B Corporations, cutting edge agricultural practices, mindful entrepreneurship, and so much more. Here’s Emmett reunited with Hunter Loving, after having the opportunity to spend time with her at an earlier meeting held near her office in Colorado. Hunter was a SOCAP Key Note speaker and has been a champion of sustainable development for 40+ years!
Jamaica Stevens has worked in community design and forward thinking intentional community engagement for a decade. Cindy and Emmett had the great pleasure of meeting with her back in Portland. Community design is one of the core works that we are currently engaged in while bringing this heart-centered project to life. They discussed process and organizational design to nurture the mutual support network we are building. It was an inspiring and affirming conversation.
Diversity is a key goal of Regenrus’ long-term plan, so Emmett and Cindy sourced advice in Portland from an expert named Christo Vu. Mr. Vu has pioneered diversity initiatives in the tech industry to great impact and success. He’s sat on diversity councils at Google, and facilitated diversity-focused hackathons in an effort to change the tech community. The team got a chance to talk about how to intentionally develop a platform for more diversity and to make an impact in underserved communities.
Colorado-based Chae Organics is a toxic free organic manufacturer that works primarily in cosmetics. Their values, processes, deep attention to quality, and caliber of product all bring them right in line with the kinds of organizations we want to build lasting relationships with. Cindy and Emmett got to sample products, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to work with them to develop proprietary skin care formulas.
Cindy is excited to support and partner with woman-owned businesses - Linda Chae's life work represents forty three years of research, development, dedication and vision, as one of the nation’s most innovative aroma-therapist and skincare formulators. Many products carry the USDA Certified BioBased Seal, making them safe for our fragile environment.
Summary
Emmett and Cindy had a great time on the road gathering community and pushing forward our product design, impact models, and community development. These special moments are just a little taste of their road trip. We are grateful for all of the inspiring people and organizations that our team had the honor of meeting on the road. Keep up with our blog for content covering every aspect of the Regenrus project, from the science behind the products to the measurable impact we seek to create in the world, from our progress in developing the business to inspirational and uplifting stories and moments from our family of passionate entrepreneurs.
Look out for more memories and adventures from this trip in future posts!

Our Regenrus Journey continues to expand and evolve with all the infinite possibilities that make up our mission, vision and purpose. As the founder of Regenrus and Chief Culture Officer, I’m all about authenticity, transparency, integrity and building trust with all those who choose to join our evolution. Therefore, I felt it important for you to fully understand the story behind the birth of Regenrus and our mission and purpose.
Regenrus was founded in August of 2017 and in less than 2 years we have experienced many joyful blessings as our products are significantly improving quality of life all while making a profound social impact that we can all be proud of. We’ve also experienced challenges and lessons learned that we must also embrace and be thankful. We want to share what worked, didn’t work and what was missing along the way hoping to help other entrepreneurs succeed through our experiences. As you know, learning experiences are most important to building a strong foundation for which Regenrus can successfully grow from.
So, what’s the 411 and the scoop? I was 59 in late 2016 and the first half of 2017 when a business venture I was embarking on didn’t transpire. In June of 2017, I learned that I was going to be a grandmother in Jan 2018 for the first time at the age of 60. I realized then and there that life would never be the same. I want only the very best for my new grandchild Rowen and began wondering what the future would be like for him and all my future grandchildren.
So, In August 2017, I was privileged enough to attend a Harvard Business Class; Leading Emerging High Growth Businesses with my BFF Becky Pfundheller. We’re both Women Entrepreneurs, Becky as the owner of a multi-million dollar leading Analytical 3rd Party QA Lab of 25 years; and I as the owner of an award winning multi-million dollar Marketing & Technology company founded with my sons in 2008. We were discussing the future of business during one of the classes and my mind drifted off. I made the conscious decision not to proceed with the exercise the class was doing, feeling instead compelled to draw the vision of what I believed a future business should look like based on my 43 years of business experience. That vision became Regenrus and it was then that my passion and dream was born to bring an Integrated Health and Wellness, Social Impact Business to the world, a business that was truly Good for the World. I am blessed to be surrounded by an inspiring creative tribe of heart centered people who all felt called to make a difference in our world together. I call them my angels as their knowledge and background experience is phenomenal, perfect for Regenrus. They have loved and are supporting me and my vision unconditionally. They continue to encourage me to follow the dream that I was called to do, for which I will be forever grateful for. Without their love and support from the very beginning Regenrus would not have ever been possible. Below are my initial Angels some of which are investors in Regenrus, among others who will remain anonymous raising over 350K in our first round of funding:
While brainstorming company strategy, we focused on our collective vision as to WHY a company that I was called to lead should exist in this world. Together we mindfully began to choose a name that embodies that vision. A name to reflect what we wanted people to feel when they experience our brand. During this process much was discussed however two powerful words resonated with all and we knew from the beginning they were designed to be synergistic in everything we stood for.
Regenrus’ culture promises to care for the Good of the Whole, our Ohana, our global family. To be inclusive, collaborative, authentic and transparent in all that we do. Each of us being personally accountable and responsible to ensure everything we do is fully aligned with living our most vibrant lives yet while fully embodied in our values, mission and purpose.
Now that you know some of our brief history through January 2018 what’s next? We will talk about successes and challenges that got us to where we are. We embody four company pillars to include Synergy, Fearlessness, Balance and Awareness. For the next blog post we will focus on “Synergy” first as it plays such a vital and critical role in all that we do to fully manifest and integrate our Social Business Model to include Products, Education, Community and our Mindful Marketplace.
It is important to remember to celebrate. We are 2 years young in August 2019. Regenrus is now like a toddler, taking risks yet being cautious to protect the brand as we are settling in for the long term. We look to embrace change by being agile and flexible knowing it truly takes a village of caring people to raise Regenrus to be extremely successful. We have new angels who have joined or our joining our evolution and social community every day who have incredible work life experience to help us grow. We all share in common energetics, innovation and servants’ heart for a better world. We are proud to be able to introduce them to you in our upcoming blog posts under work.life.purpose. It is all about synergy, we know we may not attract everyone however we will attract the right people who all love rising together. We invite you to learn more about Regenrus to align your work, life and purpose in all that you do. We are proud to share Love Lives Here and invite you to Join our Evolution!

What began as a challenging childhood with a life-threatening illness in my first years gave me the courage to persevere against all odds personally and professionally for over 6 decades. I made a conscious choice in my early days to seek out all the possibilities. To educate myself on what is best for my health, becoming an advocate for my own health and my family’s health. Not to be a victim being limited by the labels of what the experts were telling me was going to happen. I know now every experience good or difficult that IS my life was preparing me for where I am now at his very moment IN my life.
When my heart called me to start Regenrus at the age of 60, crazy as it may sound, I knew this was something I had to do. I reached out to my immediate family first, whose love has supported me through the years, and it is because of them I am able to do this now. Through their belief and trust in me and my purpose, along with my sister Brenda Raley (who embraced my mission) as my Co-Founder, Regenrus was born. Regenrus dream was only possible through the support of my amazing family and incredible lifelong friends who chose to walk this journey with me, and you will get to know better in future blog posts. In the beginning our family and friends reached out to their family and friends and only through their love, emotional and financial support are we manifesting a company that is going to “Be the Change” our World needs so desperately. As a human race we are suffering in many areas, and we must all put aside our differences and pull together to make our world better together. After all, we owe it to current and future generations.
I am an “ordinary” person on an “extraordinary” journey. There are so many people in my life and in this world, who are much smarter, more spiritual, wealthier, more connected than me and yet I know I was chosen to start Regenrus and fulfill this quest. I continue to learn how the series of events in my life led me to my heightened sense of awareness and even more recently my openness and willingness to listen and learn from others. I now realize this was my destiny all along.
It is my hope that you will take the time to learn more about Regenrus, our culture, mission, purpose, products and unique social impact business model. That it will resonate with your heart allowing you to commit to Joining our Evolution to help us bring Regenrus to the world. Through practicing self-love, by being an advocate and taking care of your own health, you can begin integrating work, life and purpose. Then you are better able to care of everyone your love and even greater through Regenrus all people, our planet and the animals we share it with.
Regenrus “We Rise Together” blog series of which I will be personally overseeing is the beginning of something very beautiful and special. A documentary in the making of the Regenrus Journey as we embody a heart-centered regenerative life built on the power of four pillars or concepts “Synergy”, “Fearlessness” “Balance” and “Awareness”
Synergy – Bringing people together to collaborate and join forces so we may use our collective gifts to energize the causes we believe in, knowing True Care is “Care in Action”. Formulating product blends and business strategies that are designed around synergy where the sum of the whole is greater than the individual parts.
Fearlessness – Is not the absence of fear or having no fears at all, it is having the courage to not let our fears stop us from what we know we are called to do. So much of our suffering and worry is what holds us back so at Regenrus we must Face Everything and RISE (FEAR) together. Balance – To integrate work, life and purpose to live our most vibrant lives yet. We must be advocates for our own self-care and teach others to do the same. We can then align our purpose with our work and life to create a WELL world. A WELL world is both physical and financial allowing for greater freedom by integrating Work.Life.Purpose. Regenrus believes “True Care” is “Care in Action” for those that depend on us the most people, animals and our planet.
Balance -- cultivating balance is when we consider all aspects of our life to include selfcare, family, friends and business relationships, work, exercise, sleep, health and your emotional well being. It is our responsibility to strive toward a place of wholeness of the body, mind and soul. Start with the food your eat, stretch and move more, embrace nature, give yourself time to rest, meditate and disconnect from technology.
Awareness – To be open to all the possibilities, an awakening from what you perceive is your reality to make space to allow for what your new reality can be. Sadly, we unconsciously resist change which holds us back from reaching our full potential.
“We Rise Together” blogs will focus and highlight our story, our culture, our commitment to diversity, honoring one another and embracing collaboration while giving back for the greater good of the whole to make a profound social impact in all we do. We accomplish this through our social sharing business of high-quality products and education. Integrating an authentic and transparent community of our Customers, Affiliates, Practitioners, Partners, Suppliers and Corporate Home Team members. This is OUR tribe - OUR global Ohana we call family and we invite you to Join Us.
