We had the good fortune of connecting with Rene Shapiro and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rene, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
We saw an opportunity to build something new in the space. Coming from a retail background we found that the products that were out there were not consumer friendly, sexy or informative. We knew that there were so many canna-curious people out there that were not being reached. Our passion for feeling good and putting more attention on our personal wellness inspired us and drives us to create and share this with everyone. Choosing your Mindset means making a conscious decision everyday to choose how you want to feel. Mindset Wellness gives you the choice. It’s not just a brand its a community.

What should our readers know about your business?
Mindset Wellness is a wellness company. We have a different perspective, bringing CBD to the yoga enthusiast, the fitness communities, the stressed out Moms and the Grandparent who can’t sleep. Mindset is accessible and friendly to people who may or may not have heard about CBD, but are curious to learn more. We created 5 unique formulas by using full spectrum CBD and adding different terpenes is how we achieve the different outcomes- Happy, Focus, Recovery, Calm and Rest. Giving the consumer the choice to choose one, two, or maybe all 5 of the Mindsets is an essential part of our mission. We are having a lot of fun, creating and building this business, but it has had its challenges. Executing this during a pandemic took a lot of courage and commitment. Just showing up everyday is a win in unimaginable times. It”s easier to think about what can go wrong, but to be successful you have to believe a little bit more than you doubt. And thats what we did! We chose our Mindset….a growth Mindset.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Oh so many fabulous things in Miami!! One of my favorite things to do is stroll on the beachwalk and take in the amazing views of the ocean. Wynwood Walls, outdoor gallery of graffiti murals is a must do. We love spending time in Miami’s design district full of incredible shopping, art galleries, and restaurants. Mila restaurant and rooftop lounge and mixology bar, for MediterrAsian food and ambience and mesmerizing entertainment. Joia Beach for the perfect Sunday funday…cocktails and sunsets. And of course you cannot visit Miami without eating at Joe’s Stone Crab!!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
To our three children Kaitlin, Dylan and Ryan Shapiro you are our inspiration.
