Amy Simpson and BigMike Straumietis talk about Humanity Heroes, a charity that is providing essential living supplies to the homeless community living on the streets and in shelters across America. BigMike, who you likely know as the CEO of Advanced Nutrients, founded Humanity Heroes with the idea that “if a company has the financial resources, then it has a social responsibility to help humanity as a whole.” Amy is the Fundraising Manager at Humanity Heroes, organizing all the events the team puts on each year,
We discuss:
- The origins of Humanity Heroes
- The growing homeless population in the United States and Los Angeles specifically
- How cannabis medicine and the cannabis industry can potentially help the homeless population
- How Humanity Heroes has expanded to help the cannabis community, especially those affected by natural disasters
- Future goals for the organization
- and more
