In this episode of the Kratom Stories Podcast, Madalyn Sklar sits down with Jeremy Steding, founder of 1836 Kratom, to share his powerful journey from touring musician to full-time Kratom advocate and business owner. Jeremy opens up about his personal struggles with alcohol during his years on the road and how a chance encounter at a local shop introduced him to Kratom. That moment sparked a transformation—not just in his focus and well-being, but in his purpose. What started as a curiosity quickly became a life-changing discovery, leading Jeremy to build a trusted Kratom brand rooted in education, ethics, and advocacy.
Jeremy shares how Kratom helped him reduce alcohol consumption, shift careers, and commit to helping others find a safer path to wellness. He also dives into the dangers of mislabeled products like synthetic 7-OH, the importance of regulation, and why responsible consumer education is more vital than ever. With over a decade of personal experience and a deep commitment to transparency, Jeremy’s story is a reminder of the life-changing potential of this plant—and why it’s worth protecting.
