In this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shemaiah Reed sits down with entrepreneur and commercial real estate powerhouse Chuck Cuda, founder of OPES Commercial Real Estate and CEO of Elevation Cannabis.
As CEO of Elevation Cannabis, he expanded operations from five to 22 licenses across three states, proving his ability to grow and disrupt industries.
But Chuck’s success doesn’t stop at business. In 2018, he founded the OPES Charitable Foundation, which has raised more than $3 million for causes like cancer research and autism awareness. He also serves on local boards — including the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society — and mentors young athletes through youth baseball, helping shape the next generation of leaders.
This conversation dives deep into leadership, innovation, giving back, and what it really takes to build something that lasts.
