Some individuals are born leaders like Sebastian Gutherywho at an early age knew instinctively how to get ahead. From the moment he experienced the thrill of how to turn a profit at age 10, the thirst for new adventures and greater business opportunities grew inside him.
By the time he was in his early 20s, Guthery invested in a tanning lotion distribution/full service salon chain which he called The Tanning Shack. He was able to take this business from Augusta in Kansas and expand it around the Midwest and although he divested in 2011, the business still flourishes up to today which is a testament to his business acumen and instinct.
True to his word, Guthery continued to learn the intricacies of the business world. By 2004, he was able to start an ethno-botanical importation/retail, Edens Ethnos, a digital ad agency, Eleven Eleven Advertising, and co-founded Hemplogica to help children afflicted with epilepsy.
Edens Ethnos exclusively distributes Kratom products. Kratom is an evergreen plant found in Southeast Asia used to treat chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. Edens Ethnos continues to receive impressive reviews for its superior kratom products however the success of this company was not the only business Guthery was working on. At the same time Guthery was building his kratom distribution business, he was also actively involved in protecting consumer rights by rallying against proposals to restrict or completely ban any kratom product. Guthery personally put together United Kratom Association and worked with fellow advocates to fight these proposals. In October 2016, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) formally withdrew its intent to ban this substance and Kratom-based products and launch a public open forum to solicit comments from consumers, scientists, and businesses regarding Kratom use and effects.
Not content with relaxing on the laurels of his successful business ventures, Guthery created another company. Guthery Investments, LLC focusing this time in affordable real estate. His first project was in partnership with Lead Equity for the conversion of the old Martison school building into apartment units in Wichita. Guthery is planning other real estate projects in the area on top of two other business ventures he is currently engaged in.
As a man of action , Sebastian Gutherybelieves passionately in having the right attitude, an ethical business style, intent focus, and always displaying the generosity to listen to others.
