Taste Like a Treat: How Good Feels Optimized Flavor and Potency
from Kaya Cast · host Kaya Cast
On this Kaya Cast episode, host Tommy Truong chats with Jason Reposa, founder of Good Feels, the team behind the Good Vibes fast-acting tinctures and hemp beverages. Jason shares his founder journey—from selling a media business to embracing a mission-driven cannabis tech company—and how a focus on liquid formats delivers fast, precise dosing across high- and low-dose customers. Learn how Good Feels evolved from early beverage experiments to a syrup-based, drink-friendly delivery that can be dosed from 5 mg to 1000 mg per one-ounce bottle, with onset in roughly 10–15 minutes. The discussion covers product iteration, taste optimization, and the balance between consumer education and regulatory realities in Massachusetts, including hemp versus cannabis rules and COA transparency. Jason offers candid perspectives on marketing versus sales, in-store partnerships, sampling strategies, and the need for strong branding to stand out in a crowded market. If you’re a dispensary owner, buyer, or brand founder, you’ll gain actionable insights on product development, category positioning, retailer partnerships, and building a brand that makes people feel good—and empowers them to do more good.
