The scene was buzzing with celebrities catching up with friends, cuddling puppies, and enjoying music from DJ Adam of ADM Entertainment on the roof. ROOT Brands co-founder Clayton Thomas commented on the experience: “This past week at the Critics Choice Awards Rahm Roast Coffee was brewing for celebrities to help introduce them to mytotoxin-free coffee and a nice pick-up with Zero-In to focus on the rest of their days. It was a perfect blend of introduction to the celebrities' ability to use The ROOT Brand's patented biohacking products.”
