My name is Nicole Schmidt.

Sometimes.

Yeah, but I can’t remember what they are.

They tend to be a little scary.

Yeah, I think everybody does. Yeah.

Sure. Just to be successful, be happy in business and just, you know, not to be paycheck to paycheck and life. Just have security.

Is this like a psychology project?

Probably be like, related to like, freedom. So, you have the freedom to be able to go on vacation on a Tuesday afternoon if you want to. You don’t have to save up for a year or two. You don’t have to plan for too long. You can just pick up and go.

I’ve always wanted to go to Australia.

just so incredibly different.

The beaches, the weather, the people. Just a big culture difference.

I’m helping my husband with his CBD business.

The fact that we can help people, help their pets feel better.

Trying to get brand awareness.

Golden Pet Life.

Online we have goldenpetlife.com.

Instagram and Facebook are the golden pet life.

We started a month before the pandemic, so we’ve been there since February of 2020.

We have five different flavors of CBD treats, three sizes of CBD oils. And just a week or so ago, we came out with a CBD topical. So, it’s like a cream. It can help with hot spots and cracks, paws and such.

It can work for any sort of dogs, cats, horses, the whole works. It’s just the dosing can be different. So, we typically say one or two milligrams CBD per every £10 of body weight.

We have a little beagle. Yeah.

She gets some treats about an hour before we trim her nails. Helps her relax.

it’s always different every time you come downtown. That’s the fun part about coming to Santa Cruz is you meet all kinds of different people and everybody’s welcome. At least how I felt is just it’s very diverse in every way possible, really.

Dreams? I always remember my dreams. I was just having a glorious dream about sardines. Silver flashes everywhere.

I’ve always dreamed of starting my own circus. You know, make some people juggle jellyfish. The seals would love it.

My most important work right now is standing up on my front fins. They say we evolved from bears but I say we’ve barely evolved. Just kidding. We can walk and swim! Amazing if you ask me, and like you did.

My current opinion of Santa Cruz is that the otters are getting way too much attention. Have you seen a baby seal?
