Manage episode 493872045 series 3561946
In this episode of the Kratom Stories Podcast, Madalyn Sklar sits down with Jeremy Steding, founder of 1836 Kratom, to share his powerful journey from touring musician to full-time Kratom advocate and business owner. Jeremy opens up about his personal struggles with alcohol during his years on the road and how a chance encounter at a local shop introduced him to Kratom. That moment sparked a transformation—not just in his focus and well-being, but in his purpose. What started as a curiosity quickly became a life-changing discovery, leading Jeremy to build a trusted Kratom brand rooted in education, ethics, and advocacy.
Jeremy shares how Kratom helped him reduce alcohol consumption, shift careers, and commit to helping others find a safer path to wellness. He also dives into the dangers of mislabeled products like synthetic 7-OH, the importance of regulation, and why responsible consumer education is more vital than ever. With over a decade of personal experience and a deep commitment to transparency, Jeremy’s story is a reminder of the life-changing potential of this plant—and why it’s worth protecting.
