Today we’d like to introduce you to Fate Fowler-Falco.
Hi Fate, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
The CoBoDo Buds odyssey started in 90’s when Chef and CLR (Chief Lab Rat) Fate Fowler worked as cookie inspector in a large commercial bakery in Denver. Not to name names, but at the time, some friends referred to her as the Elf.
Through years of catering, cheffing, bartending, party planning and occasionally adulting, the formulating was always going on behind the scenes. Starting with creating skincare with essential oils and CBD, it didn’t take long for the draw of endless Cannabis Edibles possibilities to catch her interest.
With CoBoDo CBD Party Services on indefinite hiatus, Fate turned to the kitchen to pivot her CBD, and now Delta8 THC, products to an amazing, artisan created confection now known as CoBoDo Buds, a delicious, fun-to-eat, Cannabinoid infused cannabis bud look-alike adult treat in six flavors and four sizes. Officially launched on 4-20-20 (naturally), Cobodo Buds are the end result of years of cheffing and cannabis culture combined. We think it was worth the wait. We’re sure you will agree.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Constantly changing regulations (when they are actually in place), law enforcement and regulatory entities not having a clue about those every changing issues, old school science-deniers that still think weed kills, questionable characters out for a quick buck with no regard for the industry or patients that rely on this medicine, I could go on for days about the challenges. Originally starting in an unregulated market and throwing caution to the wind isn’t what I would advise anyone else to do, but that’s exactly what I did. I decided I wasn’t going to live in the cannabis closet any longer and positioned myself to become part of this industry no matter what. I’ve made a lot of mistakes, learned volumes of great info and while the money isn’t exactly rolling in, the satisfaction of doing exactly what I love makes it all worth it. Being personally adaptable is probably my greatest personal gift in this space.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?

Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
Shoot for facts, not opinion, whenever possible. Read the rules, and regulations. Read them again. They are mind-numbingly boring but so is sitting in jail. Ask for professional help for things outside your wheelhouse. Like marketing, legal, bookkeeping, etc. Trust yourself.
Be open and transparent every second of the day. Walk away from those who have a problem with acting that way themselves. Don’t give anything away. Samples, sure, but proprietary info, your personal financial info, etc., people will use you if you let them. Be aware of motives. If you stop loving it, bail. Life is too short to do something for your ego or to fulfill someone’s else wishes.
