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

Hi Chris, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
When I first started thinking about taking the leap to become an entrepreneur, I couldn’t help but ask myself: If not now, then when? The daily grind of the 9-5 is just not cutting it for me anymore, I was feeling an intense craving for something …more, and I wanted to be able to make a positive impact and leave a legacy then I would have to start soon! I’ve always dreamed of being my own boss, having complete control over my decisions, and doing something that I completely enjoy, My passion is part of the process. It truly is amazing to take a raw, unedited idea, a thought, and transform it into a thriving, tangible business and to create generational wealth for my family.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Arrow Wellness is a socially responsible cannabis courier service that is dedicated to elevating equity and diversity in the cannabis industry. We strive to go beyond delivering convenience and accessibility we want to bridge the gap by offering a compassionate delivery service by addressing the needs of individuals with disabilities, transportation limitations, or health conditions that may find it difficult to visit dispensaries in person, – the convenience factor is always there but we want to make sure no one is left without a safe and reliable option.

In a world where “ There is no reward without risk, I have embraced this wholeheartedly. As I embark on the journey of starting my own business I often find myself confronted with risks. However, I refuse to let them impede or cause me to become stagnant. If anything I find myself being more cautious, thoughtful, and resilient. I truly believe that one must be willing to take chances, to willingly venture into the unknown,

Our service also helps to mitigate the risk of driving under the influence by bringing cannabis to the customer’s doorstep, We are eliminating the need for individuals to venture out after consumption, this reduces the temptation to drive while impaired ensuring safer roads for everyone. Arrow Wellness takes pride in promoting responsible cannabis safety,

Staying true to our mission, showcasing our authenticity, empowering collaboration and creating dynamic partnerships and just putting in the work has really led to the success of Arrow Wellness. It may not be much but sometimes that’s all it takes

Throughout this journey of entrepreneurship, I have had the incredible privilege of sharing this adventure with my children. Who are 17,15, and 13. I believe the most significant impact I have had on them is by inspiring them to embrace their passions, overcome challenges, cultivate resilience, and trust the process. In a world where the cannabis industry can still be viewed as a touchy subject, even considered taboo by some. Our household is built on open dialogue and transparency, allowing for those meaningful and sometimes hard discussions, But by providing education and accurate information and even sharing my own encounters and experiences it created an environment where they can express their own thoughts and I am to empower them to do all the time.

I understand the importance of creating a level playing field and empowering communities that have historically been marginalized and disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs. Our mantra is simple “ Your wellness being delivered” – a testament to providing hassle-free and pressure-free access to premium cannabis products to your doorstep As a social equity licensed company we will always stay committed to collaborating and partnering with local dispensaries, cultivators, and other socially concise stakeholders who share our values and mission
