Episode Details

Former professional cyclist Jake Sitler joins The Steve Gruber Show to share his remarkable story of survival and advocacy. After being T-boned by an SUV while riding, Jake credits hemp products with helping him recover and reclaim his life. But his story isn’t just about personal resilience; it’s also about policy. Jake dives into the latest government spending bill, which, while reopening funding, quietly includes a new hemp ban that could jeopardize a multibillion-dollar, job-creating industry. From personal triumph to political consequences, Jake explains why this issue matters for entrepreneurs, farmers, and anyone invested in America’s growing hemp economy.
