From Anti-Drug Crusader to CBD Pioneer: Nick Verster’s Unlikely Journey to Healing

Loading player...
What happens when a former financial crime investigator—passionate about fighting drug trafficking—discovers the life-saving potential of CBD? Meet Nick Verster, founder of NVJ Quality Products, a South African wellness brand backed by celebrities like Mike Tyson and Wiz Khalifa.

In this raw and revealing conversation, Nick shares:
🔥 His dramatic pivot from nearly arresting a hemp oil supplier to becoming a leading voice in CBD wellness.
💡 The breakthrough moment: How a stage-three cancer patient’s recovery changed his mind—and his mission.
⚖️ The tightrope walk of blending science, ethics, and South Africa’s complex regulations.
🌱 NVJ’s revolutionary products—from "Botox without Botox" beauty creams to pet oils that gave a dying bulldog an extra year of life.
💥 The hard truth about CBD myths, industry greed, and why "anti-greed, pro-people" isn’t just a slogan—it’s the core of his business.

"If people trust you, you will make money. You don’t have to sell like a door-to-door salesman—just prove your products work."
