Show Summary:

“If you think the vape industry is dead, you are right. And if you think the industry and your business will survive, you are right as well. It’s all a matter of mindset and attitude.”

That sets to the tone as we move forward and where survival of the fittest- and those willing to change- will live.

Arnuad Dumas de Rauly, president of GaiaTrend, one of the largest liquid manufacturers in Europe, is our guest today, talking about a movie called “A Billion Lives.”

We encourage all of you to pay attention since this movie is by non-vapers for non-vapers and is a powerful story that may help our cause.

Coming up soon; VAPE U III: Vape Summit. 4 days, 20 hours with some of the most amazing thought leaders in the vape space to educate and empower you.

We interviewed tens of thousands of vape professionals and asked: What keeps you up at night? What worries you the most? With hundreds of responses we drilled it down to just a few areas and then found the best people in the industry to address them. It’s June 23-26 and it will be FREE.
