Bernardo first talked to me about starting a sneaker business in 2018 when I was 74. He came to me with the idea to make sneakers from cannabis or hemp, I told him, 'Not a chance! That's drugs, you're crazy!'

Then he explained the process to me, that it is not illegal and there would be no problem using this hemp to make sneakers. Bernardo told me the hemp would be used for the outside and the insoles of the sneakers, and that the sneakers would be waterproof.

I helped with all the details of the shoe, explaining to staff when the stitching was not well done or when the glue was coming up outside of the sole of the sneakers; aspects that Bernardo did not know about. But before we delivered a single shoe, we checked them all individually to make sure they were good quality. In the early days, the sneakers were heavy and I wasn't happy with that, because I have knee problems. So now, the shoe is lighter and very comfortable. I still wear one of those early heavier prototypes, but I mostly use the newer, lighter version now.

We currently have seven colors of both the men's and women's hemp sneakers, and I've told Bernardo I want us to make sandals for next summer, and to see more colors for the sneakers, but I understand that every time we want to launch a new product, it takes time. 8000Kicks is still a startup so everything we make is reinvested into the business.

This company is making AI robots to help farmers - CNN VideoUK start-up Small Robot Company is bringing autonomous farming to life with robots that can identify and precisely kill weeds in cropland. Oh, come on! Wow! I think this is a great invention, but for some reason I see all three of these weed robots as Boris. They say he's difficult. Amen With Europeans gone due to Brexit and labor shortages creating food shortages in Britain, it's high time for them to turn to the robots.
