After a decade as a champion boxer, Mike Lee was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that almost ended his career. Fed up with countless hospital visits and years on prescription medication, he immersed himself in the wellness world, learning everything he could about nutrition, mindset, and most importantly, CBD. With the help of the latter, Mike defied every doctor’s prognosis, and went on to win eight more fights, becoming the #3 ranked fighter in the world. Today, Mike is the CEO and co-founder of Soul, a CBD wellness brand, with his sister Angie Lee. With his company, Mike continues to deliver on his mission by helping people find natural relief from pain, anxiety, and more.
