?? Founder Friday Spotlight: Eli Stoloff & Alice Stone of Soft Landing ?? Today, UCS is excited to introduce the minds behind Soft Landing LLC, the revolutionary product that brings the first reversible edible to the cannabis market. Meet the founders who are transforming the way we think about THC. Eli Stoloff - Co-founder/CEO As a young entrepreneur, Eli Stoloff’s journey began with a single innovative idea—Soft Landing. “Until now, there was no way to counteract the psychoactive effects of THC. Our product is a game changer for the cannabis industry." After brainstorming the concept during his senior year of college, Eli realized the potential for this breakthrough product and took the leap to become an entrepreneur instead of entering the corporate world. His business mindset was shaped by Good to Great by Jim Collins, and he lives by the mantra: "The best way to predict the future is to create it." — Peter Drucker ?? Advice to His Younger Self: “As a young founder, I still am my younger self. Being aware of this is important because acknowledging my inexperience drives me to always be eager to learn as much as possible about entrepreneurship and the professional world.” Alice Stone - Co-founder Alice’s journey to entrepreneurship has always been driven by her passion for creativity and innovation. Initially pursuing a career in filmmaking, Alice has seamlessly transitioned into the wellness space with the same creative spirit, helping launch innovative products like Soft Landing. Her favorite book, The Blessings of a Skinned Knee, offers lessons on competition and failure, helping her navigate the entrepreneurial world. Alice’s philosophy can be summed up in her favorite quote: "Everything is figureoutable." — Marie Forleo With Soft Landing, Eli and Alice are bringing a fresh, much-needed solution to the cannabis space, allowing users to reverse the effects of THC—making it a true industry game changer. Keep your eyes on these two entrepreneurs as they disrupt and innovate with this breakthrough product.
