Today, I welcome Juan, co-founder and CEO of Waykana, an Ecuadorian startup with the mission to boost the world with the healthiest morning energy: the guayusa superleaf. In his youth, Juan found himself looking for the best version of himself: healthier, purposeful, focused...This path led Juan to the depths of the Amazon rainforest, where he discovered an amazing treasure to share with the world, and do it ethically and sustainably with indigenous kichwa communities. Waykana's story has just begun, and there is so much more for everyone to discover… In today’s episode, we touch on: How and why Waykana was started. The benefits of the Guayusa leaf and why they use this super leaf in their products. How they source the Guayusa leaf and the 1500 year old tradition of the indigenous people that originally discovered Guayusa. What the indigenous people of the amazon rainforest eat to stay healthy and happy The importance of a morning ritual or healthy habit What’s coming next for Waykana And honestly a ton more… We’d love to hear what resonated with you over on Instagram, so share a screenshot of you listening to this episode and write out something you found interesting or something that you learned and tag myself, @simplyhann_ and Waykana at @waykana.energy.
