Last week, I finally had the chance to visit our co-owned business, RJS CBD, in Spain — a moment that’s been nearly a year in the making.

Since launching RJS together, my business partner and I have worked relentlessly from our respective countries to build a brand that stands for quality, trust, and innovation in the CBD space. But until now, we hadn’t actually met together on location. That changed with a surprise visit to our bustling stall at Zoco Market – and I didn’t arrive empty-handed.

I brought with me two incredible awards we’ve won this year: Best CBD Product Spain and Best CBD Product Supplier 2025. Presenting these trophies in person, right where the heart of our customer community beats each week, was an incredible moment.

The look on my partner’s face said it all — surprise, pride, and a genuine sense of achievement. We built this together, across borders, united by a shared commitment to setting the gold standard in CBD.

This visit wasn’t just about celebration; it was about connection. It reinforced just how far we’ve come, and just how much more we’re capable of achieving. Here’s to many more milestones, shared moments, and gold-standard goals ahead.
