    <title>The Dime</title>
    <description>Most cannabis companies won&apos;t survive the next three years. The ones that do will have better capital discipline, sharper regulatory reads, and operational frameworks built for compression, not growth. The Dime is where cannabis operators, executives, and investors hear directly from the CEOs and founders making those decisions right now: MSO strategy, state-by-state market dynamics, cultivation and extraction economics, brand positioning, and the financing structures keeping companies alive. Bryan Fields hosts weekly conversations built for operators, not observers.</description>

      <title>The Legal Market Was Never Built for Payments, Why Cannabis Still Breaks the Rules ft. Aubrey Amatelli</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The largest payment processor in the world handles cannabis in Canada. In the U.S., they will not touch it. That’s the gap.</p>
<p>Aubrey Amatelli left JP Morgan believing that if you followed the rules, aligned with card brand requirements, and structured things correctly, you could build a compliant, stable payment product. Then came Mastercard shutdowns, a failed tech partner that cost six figures, and a stretch where 5,000 dispensaries lost payment access in a matter of weeks. What came out of that was a different approach to building in cannabis. Redundancy is not a feature. It is the product.</p>
<p>This week we sit down with Aubrey Amatelli to discuss the following:<br>
 • JP Morgan to cannabis payments<br>
 • A failed partner and six figures lost<br>
 • Why moving from cash to card changes ticket size</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Chapters</p>
<p>00:00 Navigating the Cannabis Payment Landscape</p>
<p>02:55 Understanding Payment Processing Challenges</p>
<p>05:57 Building Redundancies in Payment Solutions</p>
<p>09:02 The Impact of Federal Legislation on Payments</p>
<p>12:08 Consumer Education and Payment Solutions</p>
<p>15:03 Product Development and Market Needs</p>
<p>18:02 The Evolving Nature of Cannabis Payments</p>
<p>21:28 Navigating Cannabis Payment Solutions</p>
<p>22:12 The Rise of Cryptocurrency in Alternative Medicine</p>
<p>26:36 The Future of Cannabis Banking and Federal Legalization</p>
<p>30:22 AI's Role in Payment Processing</p>

      <title>Gretchen Gailey: Cannabis Industry Has No Idea How DC Works, Why Rescheduling Is Delayed</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Politics is a dirty business. Sometimes being feared is the influence you need because access is not the problem.</p>
<p>Politicians say "we'll take care of this." Gretchen Gailey has a different approach: stab them in the back, push them down the stairs, and take credit for the fall. It's time to put fear behind cannabis.</p>
<p>She spent 20 years on Capitol Hill. She's watched cannabis show up once a year for fly-ins, throw money at the wrong politicians, and wonder why nothing changes. This episode breaks down why incrementalism is the only path, why banking matters more than you think, and why the industry needs to stop picking out curtains when it hasn't built a basement.</p>
<p><strong>This week we sit down with Gretchen Gailey:</strong></p>
<ul>
 <li>Stab them in the back politics</li>
 <li>Curtains before basement problem</li>
 <li>Project Champion playbook</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Timestamps:</strong></p>
<p>00:00 - The industry's fundamental misunderstanding about Washington politics</p>
<p>02:35 - Challenges with incrementalism versus desire for rapid change</p>
<p>04:47 - Supporting pro-cannabis politicians like Cynthia Loomis</p>
<p>06:45 - The role of education and public awareness campaigns</p>
<p>10:06 - Building a basic regulatory foundation: banking, safe products, and rescheduling</p>
<p>13:23 - The limitations of state-led models and the need for federal coordination</p>
<p>15:50 - The importance of transparency and federal standards for consumer safety</p>
<p>18:43 - The influence of political operatives and the importance of direct advocacy</p>
<p>22:51 - Using industry tools and data to inform policy and educate policymakers</p>
<p>26:15 - The significance of Congressional engagement and how to make cannabis an urgent issue</p>
<p>30:10 - The importance of political will and executive orders in advancing reform</p>
<p>34:40 - The disconnects within Washington and how industry can better influence policy</p>
<p>37:19 - Opportunities in leveraging symbolism like Veterans issues and Congressional events</p>
<p>41:14 - The disconnect between access and influence, and how to effectively make the case</p>
<p>44:40 - The necessity of creative strategies, public pressure, and celebrity involvement</p>
<p>50:21 - Successful stories: case of Cory Booker and the impact of direct constituent advocacy</p>
<p>52:16 - Final thoughts: how to stay engaged and educate the industry and policymakers</p>
<p><strong>Summary: </strong></p>
<p>In this episode, Gretchen Gailey shares over 20 years of experience navigating Washington's complex cannabis legislation. We explore how industry players can effectively engage with policymakers, the importance of foundational regulations, and strategies to accelerate federal progress on cannabis reform.</p>

      <itunes:summary>Politics is a dirty business. Sometimes being feared is the influence you need because access is not the problem. Politicians say &quot;we&apos;ll take care of this.&quot; Gretchen Gailey has a different approach: stab them in the back, push them down the stairs, and take credit for the fall. It&apos;s time to put fear behind cannabis. She spent 20 years on Capitol Hill. She&apos;s watched cannabis show up once a year for fly-ins, throw money at the wrong politicians, and wonder why nothing changes. This episode breaks down why incrementalism is the only path, why banking matters more than you think, and why the industry needs to stop picking out curtains when it hasn&apos;t built a basement.This week we sit down with Gretchen Gailey:

      <title>15 Years of Cannabis Trading . Why I&apos;ll Sell Early (Unless This Happens) ft. Dan McDermitt</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Investing in cannabis requires a split personality.</p>
<p>Everyone thinks they're early. Dan McDermitt has been trading the sector for 15 years — through the Canadian boom, the Biden promise, and the slow bleed that followed. His take: if you've been through multiple pump-and-dump cycles, you're not early anymore. You're just still here.</p>
<p>This is a masterclass in separating trader psychology from fundamental conviction. Dan explains why he keeps a small position just to stay seated, why he already knows he'll sell early on the next catalyst, and why the moment everybody's talking about cannabis on Wall Street Bets is the moment you size up — not before.</p>

<p>17:37 Market Footprint and Future Opportunities</p>
<p>18:35 Expanding into New Markets and Countries</p>
<p>20:25 Product Launch Timing and Market Readiness</p>
<p>21:59 Exclusivity and Distribution Agreements</p>
<p>22:40 Managing State-Specific Regulations</p>

      <title>Hidden Growth Unmasked: Rescheduling, the Farm Bill &amp; What Comes Next ft Trent Woloveck</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>For the last 18–24 months, reported cannabis growth told an incomplete story.</p><p>Demand did not plateau.<br />It was fragmented — between hemp channels, illicit markets, and regulated operators.</p><p>Now, with the Farm Bill loophole closing, Virginia coming online, and rescheduling potentially closer to execution, the numbers begin to look different. And feel different.</p><p>This week we sit down with Trent Woloveck to discuss:</p><p>• Why leading with retail first changes everything<br />• The strategic tradeoffs of vertical integration<br />• What true cannabinoid demand actually looks like once distortion fades</p><p>Chapters</p><p>00:00 The Value of Vertical Integration in Cannabis</p><p>04:52 Market Dynamics and Capital Allocation</p><p>09:34 Virginia's Cannabis Market Evolution</p><p>19:04 Impact of Federal Rescheduling on Cannabis</p><p>24:38 M&A Challenges in the Cannabis Industry</p><p>31:34 Navigating Regulatory Complexities</p><p>39:39 The Future of the Cannabis Market</p><p>47:27 Looking Ahead: Jushi's Future and Industry Changes</p><p><strong>Summary</strong></p><p>In this conversation, Bryan Fields and Trent Woloveck discuss the complexities of the cannabis industry, focusing on vertical integration, market dynamics, and the impact of federal rescheduling.

      <itunes:summary>Exceptional extraction has long been treated as an art.What separates the best teams is not creativity.It is the ability to repeat quality, consistently.

And it is not SOP alone.

It is judgment applied consistently under real constraints. Constraints that define what is technically possible, operationally realistic, and economically viable.

Those constraints tart with understanding your system and tracking the right operational parameters at a level of detail most teams never reach.

That depth of understanding is what allows teams to produce a consistent, high-quality end product instead of relying on feel or memory.

This week we sit down with Brian Adams to discuss

How to balance SOPs with operator flexibility
How to think clearly about your extraction system and its limits
Whether rolling back adult use in Massachusetts is real or noise



Chapters

00:00 The Complexity of Extraction Processes

03:06 Adapting SOPs for Optimal Results

06:04 Understanding Cost Structures in Extraction

09:12 The Importance of Hardware in Product Quality

12:07 Navigating Consumer Expectations and Feedback

15:10 Quality Control and Brand Reputation

18:11 Expanding Product Categories and Maintaining Standards

21:07 Educating Consumers on Concentrate Differences

23:56 The Future of the Cannabis Industry in Massachusetts

30:32 The Current State of Cannabis in Massachusetts

34:27 The Threat of Opposition and Industry Response

39:55 Navigating Negative Perceptions and Future Outlook

41:14 The Importance of Industry Unity and Consumer Education

      <itunes:subtitle>Most cannabis automation fails for a simple reason.It optimizes motion instead of understanding.

Automation executes. Robotics adapts.That distinction matters in an industry where variability is unavoidable and capital is limited.

This episode breaks down why feedback loops matter more than machines, why fully automated facilities are still far off, and how teams should think about constraints before investing.

This week, we sit down with Nohtal Partansky to cover:

Why automation breaks under variability
Automation vs robotics, clearly defined
How to avoid expensive missteps



Chapters

00:00 Understanding Automation in Cannabis Manufacturing

03:02 The Role of Robotics vs. Automation

05:45 Consultative Approach to Automation

08:54 Challenges in Cultivation Automation

11:59 Designing for Variability in Automation

15:01 Iterative Development and Customer Feedback

18:08 Identifying Design vs. Customer Issues

21:06 Adapting to Environmental Nuances

23:55 Conveying Value in Automation Solutions

27:09 Strategic Approaches to Automation in Supply Chain

30:10 Optimizing Pre-Roll Production Processes

33:44 Understanding Tolerance Levels in Manufacturing

36:39 Intellectual Property in the Cannabis Industry

42:26 Innovations in Cannabis Manufacturing

45:32 Challenges in Automation and Scaling

50:51 Improving Processes and Training in Cannabis Operations

Summary

In this conversation, Bryan Fields and Nohtal Partansky delve into the intricacies of automation and robotics within the cannabis manufacturing industry. They discuss the differences between fully automated and automated processes, the consultative approach to implementing automation, and the challenges faced in cultivation. The conversation highlights the importance of feedback loops in robotics, the iterative design process, and the need for a deep understanding of customer needs. They also touch on the significance of protecting intellectual property while fostering innovation in a rapidly evolving industry.

      <itunes:summary>Before CBD was discussed by a President in the Oval Office, it was a medical necessity.

The Charlotte Figi story is well documented — and powerful.Not because it was emotional, but because it forced a serious medical conversation.

Stories like Charlotte’s change how physicians, regulators, and institutions think about where cannabinoid therapy belongs — not as a last resort, but as a legitimate option.

Charlotte’s Web was built around that reality. By recognizing that cannabis does have medicinal properties — and that patients should have access to a plant-based option when it can materially improve quality of life — the company focused on trust, standards, and medical credibility first.

This week, we sit down with Bill Morachnick to break down:

Why CBD earned acceptance through medical trust, not consumer marketing
How physician comfort, reimbursement pathways, and standards changed the conversation
CBD in the Oval Office — and what that signals for the future of cannabis

      <itunes:summary>Everyone in cannabis talks about effects-based products — almost no one can deliver them consistently.

Repeatable experiences require precision and formulation discipline that looks a lot more like pharma than cannabis.

And here’s why: most operators don’t treat in-house analytics as essential. But that’s the mistake.

Process control isn’t optional — it’s the foundation for delivering the same experience every single time.

This week we sit down with Chris Emerson, Founder of LEVEL, to break down:• How true effects-based products are actually built• The analytics and standardization required for repeatability• Why most teams can’t achieve consistency — and what it takes to fix it

      <itunes:subtitle>Everyone in cannabis talks about effects-based products — almost no one can deliver them consistently.

Repeatable experiences require precision and formulation discipline that looks a lot more like pharma than cannabis.

And here’s why: most operators don’t treat in-house analytics as essential. But that’s the mistake.

Process control isn’t optional — it’s the foundation for delivering the same experience every single time.

This week we sit down with Chris Emerson, Founder of LEVEL, to break down:• How true effects-based products are actually built• The analytics and standardization required for repeatability• Why most teams can’t achieve consistency — and what it takes to fix it

Supply chains look a lot different when you can lean on national infrastructure, logistics, and distribution that already exist.

Through Edibles.com, the company is using that foundation to build access — curating top brands and letting customers shop the way they understand best: by experience.

Could this platform and distribution model become the Amazon of cannabinoids?

This week we sit down with Thomas Winstanley to discuss:

• The strategy and roadmap behind Edibles.com

• Balancing risk and regulation in an uncertain market

• How infrastructure and logistics unlock national access

      <itunes:summary>Building something that lasts takes more than money — it takes self-belief, grit, and the willingness to keep pushing forward when easier options present themselves.

Putting your name on it only adds to the weight — and the responsibility — to make it work.

As with anything worth doing, there are difficult moments along the journey that demand a leap of faith.

If you want to be different, you have to be willing to swim against the current — to stand out long enough for customers to find their fit.

Daniel LaRusso was that choice for Chris Ball. A nod to his movie-buff personality, the name sent a subtle but direct message to his audience about grit, discipline, and staying true to the craft.

These decisions are easy to reflect on now, but the journey was anything but simple.

This week we sit down with Chris Ball, Founder of Ball Family Farms, to discuss:

The journey from origin to now — and the critical decisions that shaped it
How he’s constantly tinkering forward to stay ahead
The Rare Breed mentorship program and its impact on the next generation of growers

Summary

In this episode, Chris Ball, CEO of Ball Family Farms, shares his journey from the legacy cannabis market to establishing a successful legal cannabis business. He discusses the importance of family in building his brand, the challenges of navigating the cannabis industry, and the significance of quality over quantity in product development. Chris also highlights the role of mentorship through his Rare Breed program, which aims to nurture new talent in the cannabis space. He emphasizes the need for innovation while maintaining a connection to the community and culture of cannabis. The conversation concludes with insights into the realities of being a CEO in the cannabis industry and the importance of resilience and adaptability.

If fully embraced, its impact on patients and medicine could be transformative. As science continues to unfold, sometimes it takes skeptics to dive deep and uncover what’s truly there, even when powerful interests push back.</p><p>This week we sit down with <strong>Ryan Castle</strong>, Research Director at Whole Health Oncology Institute, to discuss:</p><ul><li>Medical cannabis: efficacy, placebo, and why it matters less than you think</li><li>How this study is being used in rescheduling efforts</li><li>How vested interests fuel anti-cannabis research</li></ul><p><strong>Chapters</strong></p><p>00:00 Introduction to Medical Cannabis Research</p><p>03:06 Ryan Castle's Journey into Cannabis Research</p><p>05:58 The Meta-Analysis Process Explained</p><p>09:00 Understanding the Data and Its Implications</p><p>11:54 Skepticism and the Shift in Perspective</p><p>15:01 Consensus in Medical Cannabis Research</p><p>18:04 Nuances in Cancer Treatment and Cannabis</p><p>20:55 Biomarkers and Inflammatory Responses</p><p>22:56 Exploring Cannabis and Cancer Outcomes</p><p>29:37 Bridging the Gap: Patient-Reported Outcomes</p><p>35:32 The Future of Medical Cannabis Research</p><p>45:34 The Cancer Playbook: Empowering Patients</p><p> </p><p>Summary</p><p>In this episode, Bryan Fields and Kellan Finney engage with Ryan Castle, Research Director at Whole Health Oncology Institute, to explore the evolving landscape of medical cannabis research.

      <itunes:subtitle>Cannabis is chaotic by design. Vertical integration forces operators to run six or seven businesses at once — then replicate that model across states with different regulations, all without economies of scale. It’s no wonder the industry feels messy.

The bigger problem? Too many companies are chasing the wrong metrics and ignoring the lessons other industries already learned.

This week we sit down with Mitchell Osak — a veteran strategist across pharma, CPG, financial services, and cannabis — to unpack the hard truths and strategy lessons MSOs can’t afford to miss.

In this episode we cover:• The wrong metrics driving cannabis off course — and which ones Mitch would track instead• Why TAM slides are the biggest lie in cannabis strategy•  Which playbooks cannabis should borrow from pharma, wine, and tech

Summary:

In this episode, Bryan Fields and Kellan Finney engage with Mitch Osak, a seasoned consultant in the cannabis industry. They explore Mitch&apos;s journey into cannabis consulting, the importance of strategic planning, and the challenges of standardization in the market. The conversation delves into the differences between large operators and middle market firms, the significance of understanding metrics, and the need for innovation. Mitch emphasizes the importance of learning from other industries, the role of AI, and the necessity for scenario planning in navigating the evolving landscape of cannabis. The episode concludes with insights on the future of the industry and the importance of external consultation.

      <itunes:summary>Most cannabis facilities fail before the first wall goes up.Most assume it’s because of money — but they’re wrong.It’s because no one asked the right questions.

In this episode, we cover:• The most common and costly mistakes operators make when building cannabis facilities• Where smart investments need to be made now — including AI, technology, and automation• What separates successful projects from the ones that go sideways

      <itunes:subtitle>Most cannabis facilities fail before the first wall goes up.Most assume it’s because of money — but they’re wrong.It’s because no one asked the right questions.

The question you need to ask now is:Where should we be looking to set ourselves up for long-term success?

Asking the right questions is critical — because decisions made for today can become death warrants tomorrow. Knowing where to look (and what to avoid) can be a game-changer.

In this episode, we cover:• The most common and costly mistakes operators make when building cannabis facilities• Where smart investments need to be made now — including AI, technology, and automation• What separates successful projects from the ones that go sideways

Automation feels risky—until you run the numbers.

It doesn’t kill craftsmanship—it scales it.

Growing your pre-roll category usually means balancing sales growth with hand-filling teams to maintain quality.

But what if you could do both?

What if you could leverage best-in-class automation to hit your numbers faster, cleaner, cheaper—without sacrificing quality?

The truth?

You don’t need 30 people rolling joints when 3 people and a machine can do it better.

This week, we sit down with Shahar Yamay, CEO of Hefestus Technologies, to break it down.

The ROI of Automation—and how to know if it actually makes sense
Balancing scale, quality, and consistency in cannabis manufacturing
Why automation doesn’t replace jobs—it removes bottlenecks

This week, we sit down again with Socrates Rosenfeld, CEO of Jane Technologies, to explore:

The real process behind AI rollouts at Jane
Why “radical transparency” is Jane’s most important product
What retailers can expect from Jane Premium’s early launch

Now, the idea of seeds in the ground to thriving plants is a tangible experience—one that finally captures the real narrative. Because in cannabis, the financials don’t always tell the full story.

Inside the Glasshouse x LEEF MSA and what it means for scale
How LEEF is building for long-term growth with a focused extraction-first strategy
Why the industry needs to pause, reflect, and reset expectations
Why the recent exit of analysts and media might be a bullish contrarian signal for cannabis

      <itunes:subtitle>What if the most powerful investor pitch wasn’t a deck or a breakdown of earnings—but a story?

Now, the idea of seeds in the ground to thriving plants is a tangible experience—one that finally captures the real narrative. Because in cannabis, the financials don’t always tell the full story.

This week, we sit down with Jesse Redmond, Head of Investor Relations and Business Development at LEEF Brands, to explore:

Inside the Glasshouse x LEEF MSA and what it means for scale
How LEEF is building for long-term growth with a focused extraction-first strategy
Why the industry needs to pause, reflect, and reset expectations
Why the recent exit of analysts and media might be a bullish contrarian signal for cannabis

      <itunes:summary>What if we told you the future of cannabis looks less like dispensaries... and more like the milk aisle?

Everyone’s chasing growth, market share, and the next hot product — but few are asking the deeper question:

What will the cannabis industry actually become?

While cannabis is certainly disruptive, its future likely follows a few predictable paths — built on established infrastructure where companies must choose: go big, go niche, or get squeezed out.

This week we sit down with Brett Puffenbarger, founder of Good Highdeas, for an unfiltered look into where cannabis is heading — and why most operators aren’t ready for what’s coming.

Why small brands need to niche down fast
The “hourglass” market effect no one is talking about
What the &quot;milk aisle model&quot; means for the future of weed

      <itunes:subtitle>What if we told you the future of cannabis looks less like dispensaries... and more like the milk aisle?

Everyone’s chasing growth, market share, and the next hot product — but few are asking the deeper question:

What will the cannabis industry actually become?

While cannabis is certainly disruptive, its future likely follows a few predictable paths — built on established infrastructure where companies must choose: go big, go niche, or get squeezed out.

This week we sit down with Brett Puffenbarger, founder of Good Highdeas, for an unfiltered look into where cannabis is heading — and why most operators aren’t ready for what’s coming.

Why small brands need to niche down fast
The “hourglass” market effect no one is talking about
What the &quot;milk aisle model&quot; means for the future of weed

Without disciplined forecasting and visibility into true costs, growth is meaningless. Most companies aren’t failing from bad ideas — they’re failing in execution. That’s where cash leaks into missed forecasts, bloated inventory, and lost opportunity.

Cash flow isn’t a quarterly metric — it has to be a daily focus.

The ones with visibility are growing profitably and setting themselves up to survive now and thrive later.

      <itunes:duration>00:48:42</itunes:duration>
      <itunes:summary>Big Tobacco knows cigarettes are dead.They’re sitting on cash, looking for growth — and cannabis is the obvious move.

They’re no longer silently watching from the sidelines. They’re investing, expanding — some through public acquisitions, others through quieter plays. But one thing is clear: it’s no secret anymore. Big Tobacco is here, leveraging its resources to capture market share quickly, while cannabis companies continue to struggle.

And on the other side of the coin? The global unlock continues.With U.S. operators mostly stuck within national borders, Canadian companies are finally getting the green light to activate dormant facilities and feed growing EU demand. Companies like Curaleaf are thriving in the international arena — and it’s just getting started.

Tobacco’s positioning — and what they’re likely eyeing next
Which U.S. companies Deepak expects to head overseas
Which international markets are heating up next

Extraction isn’t simple. And in a world of margin compression, “this is how we’ve always done it” won’t cut it.

Micah shares how applying best-in-class manufacturing principles has helped LEEF reach elite levels of efficiency — and how just a 1–2% gain in yield can unlock millions in  value. He also shares how they’re continuing to push the envelope to stay ahead.

Expansion plans in NY and what’s next for “the farm”

      <title>If You’re Chasing Invoices in Cannabis, Listen to This ft. Brett Gelfand</title>

In cannabis, collections are brutally difficult. With limited banking and tight cash flow, cash is king. So how do you know who’s trustworthy? Who’s a repeat offender? And where do you even go to collect?

Sadly, this scenario is far too common — and it’s crushing the industry.

This week we sit down with Brett Gelfand, founder of CannaBIZ Collects and the Cannabis Credit Association, to explore:

How to protect your business before extending net terms
What to do when customers ghost you on payment
How big of an issue is this, really?

      <title>Why Cannabis Companies Must Face Reality, Make Hard Choices, and Follow the Data ft. AnnaRae Grabstein</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>While it feels like progress isn’t happening — and that may be true at the federal level — inside the industry, it’s a completely different story.</strong><br />The financial model you built, the regulatory category you operate in, the market dynamics, the consumer behavior — every one of those variables is in motion.

      <itunes:summary>Can cannabis be the key to lowering healthcare costs and improving patient outcomes?

Impossible, right?

Think again.

Leafwell has analyzed millions of data points and uncovered staggering, undeniable results—cannabis patients experience fewer ER visits, reduced prescription drug use, and better health outcomes compared to non-users. These findings aren’t just groundbreaking—they’re a wake-up call.

This is just the beginning of unlocking the true potential of plant medicine, and with further research, education, and access, millions more could benefit.

This week, we sit down with Emily Fisher &amp; Dr. June Chin of Leafwell to discuss:

The shocking data proving cannabis&apos; impact on healthcare
How employers are integrating cannabis into their benefits
How insurance coverage could change the future of medical cannabis

      <title>The Hard Thing About Hard Things: A Melody of Grit &amp; Fortitude ft. Christina Betancourt Johnson</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><i>“It’s this crazy melody of things constantly happening, and you need an incredible degree of grit and fortitude.

      <itunes:summary>Consumer buy brands. And in cannabis, California brands reign supreme because they uphold the most sacred element in any relationship—trust.

Trust isn’t just about marketing—it’s about consistency, quality, and experience. The moment a brand breaks that trust, it loses everything. But expanding a highly trusted California brand into new markets isn’t just about slapping a logo on a jar—it’s about ensuring the same elite quality, cultivation standards, and consumer experience across state lines.

So how do you scale a collective of powerhouse cannabis brands while maintaining the trust that made them successful in the first place?

This week, we sit down with Nate D, co-founder of Turn, Made, and Project Packs, to break down:

·Why Trust Is Cannabis’ Most Valuable Asset

·How a Collective Model Helps Cannabis Brands Scale

· The Cultivation &amp; Quality Challenges of Scaling Cannabis

Chapters:

00:00 Introduction to Nate D and His Ventures

02:48 The Ecosystem of Cannabis Businesses

06:07 Quality Control in Cannabis Cultivation

09:08 Scaling Challenges in Cannabis

11:56 The Importance of Team and Trust

15:07 Navigating Market Trends and Consumer Preferences

17:55 R&amp;D in Cannabis: The Long Game

20:50 Collaboration and Community in the Cannabis Industry

23:58 Future Trends and Predictions

27:10 Lessons Learned and Final Thoughts

Nowhere is that more evident than in cannabis, where local governments resist change, operators scramble for clarity, and policies shift overnight. The biggest mistake cannabis operators make? Waiting too long to ask for help.

Navigating cannabis regulations isn’t just about compliance—it’s a high-stakes game of politics, timing, and strategy. This week, we sit down with Jeff Guillot, Managing Partner of MAD Global Strategy, to expose the backroom battles.

The biggest misconceptions about how cannabis laws are actually made
Why local governments resist cannabis businesses (and how to change their minds)
How lobbying really works—and who actually needs it in cannabis

      <itunes:duration>00:48:08</itunes:duration>
      <itunes:summary>Are you considering expanding to Germany? The answer should be yes.

As a brand or retailer, deciding where to grow is critical. California is the ultimate proving ground—fiercely competitive and filled with industry leaders. If you want to be a national player, is this where you make your mark?

But what about Germany? A high-potential market, still in its early stages, with adult-use legalization on the horizon. The demand for U.S. brands is clear, but how will regulations unfold, and what hurdles lie ahead?

This week, we sit down with Jamie Pearson to break it all down:

Which companies should be thinking about Germany now
Opportunities, risks, and how Germany compares to the U.S.
How to get started and navigate regulations
The sleeper market no one is talking about

Key Topics Discussed:

⏱ [00:00 - 03:00] Introduction &amp; Jamie Pearson’s Background

Jamie’s journey into cannabis
Why cannabis is harder than any other industry

⏱ [03:01 - 10:30] The Challenges of Running a Cannabis Business

The legal vs. illegal market dilemma
Why cannabis operators face unique financial struggles

⏱ [10:31 - 18:45] Raising Money in Cannabis: A Losing Battle?

How funding works without traditional banking
The risk investors take in the cannabis space

⏱ [18:46 - 25:30] Cannabis Brand Loyalty &amp; Why It’s Different

What makes a cannabis brand succeed
The fine line between success &amp; failure in branding

⏱ [25:31 - 32:15] Why the Next 5 Years Will Decide Everything

The future of cannabis legalization &amp; federal reform
Who will survive, and who won’t in this industry

⏱ [32:16 - 38:50] Final Thoughts &amp; Advice for Cannabis Operators

What Jamie wishes more people knew about cannabis
The one thing every entrepreneur in this space needs to prepare for

      <itunes:summary>F1 hybrid seeds are the cornerstone of modern agriculture, offering the least expensive and most reliable way to grow uniform plants with predictable traits.

In the cannabis industry, however, growing from clones has long been the standard because true F1 hybrid seeds were unavailable—until now.

Today, F1 hybrid seeds have arrived in cannabis cultivation, delivering the same consumer and agronomic traits that make large-scale production in traditional agriculture so successful. 

These seeds are not only transforming the economics of cannabis cultivation but also turning pain points into competitive advantages for forward-thinking growers.

By applying techniques borrowed from big agriculture, the cannabis industry can now achieve massive payoffs through uniform plants with predictable traits, shifting the narrative from inefficiency to profitability.

This week we sit down with Ralph Risch to discuss:

Seeds vs. clones: key benefits, costs, and trade-offs.
How F1 hybrid seeds are transforming cannabis cultivation.
The economic impact of big-ag innovations in cannabis.

      <itunes:subtitle>F1 hybrid seeds are the cornerstone of modern agriculture, offering the least expensive and most reliable way to grow uniform plants with predictable traits.

In the cannabis industry, however, growing from clones has long been the standard because true F1 hybrid seeds were unavailable—until now.

Today, F1 hybrid seeds have arrived in cannabis cultivation, delivering the same consumer and agronomic traits that make large-scale production in traditional agriculture so successful. 

These seeds are not only transforming the economics of cannabis cultivation but also turning pain points into competitive advantages for forward-thinking growers.

By applying techniques borrowed from big agriculture, the cannabis industry can now achieve massive payoffs through uniform plants with predictable traits, shifting the narrative from inefficiency to profitability.

This week we sit down with Ralph Risch to discuss:

Seeds vs. clones: key benefits, costs, and trade-offs.
How F1 hybrid seeds are transforming cannabis cultivation.
The economic impact of big-ag innovations in cannabis.

Ralph&apos;s Entrepreneurial Journey (00:01:11)
Background in emerging markets
Transition into the cannabis industry
Scientific Approach to Cannabis Breeding (00:02:37)
First company taking a scientific approach to breeding
Genomics-driven breeding methodology
F1 Hybrid Seeds Explained (00:11:52)
Difference between traditional and F1 hybrid seeds
Uniformity and predictability in plant genetics
Genetic Markers and Breeding Innovations (00:28:44)

Potential for expanding to 40 markers in future
Rare Cannabinoid Research (00:37:07)
Exploring CBG, CBC, and other minor cannabinoids
Potential therapeutic applications
Future of Personalized Cannabis (00:45:53)
Discussion on personalized medicine and cannabis

      <itunes:summary>Partnerships are more critical in cannabis than in many other industries. 

The line between success and failure is razor-thin, and most companies don’t have the resources to recover from a failed “marriage.”

One of the unique and beautiful challenges of the cannabis industry is the emotional connection founders have with their businesses. Much like a parent’s love for a child, founders tend to see only the good, often downplaying potential downsides.

The ability to stay grounded, ask the hard questions, and—most importantly—be culturally and mentally prepared to discuss a “marriage” with another group is daunting.

When conversations about capital or potential acquisitions arise, it’s easy to overvalue a business internally. Founders know the countless hours and effort that went into building it, which can cloud judgment about its true market value.

This week we sit down with Tony Schor to discuss:

Where partnerships fail.
Creative ways cannabis companies are securing capital.
Where people are investing in the cannabis industry.

Episode Highlights

Cannabis Industry Insights (00:01:25)

Discussion of cannabis industry legacy
Importance of partnerships in industry growth
East Coast vs. West Coast cannabis market dynamics

Mergers &amp; Acquisitions Deep Dive (00:02:53)

Challenges of cannabis M&amp;A transactions
Importance of cultural fit in partnerships
Strategies for finding the right manufacturing and brand partnerships

Capital and Technology in Cannabis (00:37:47)

Technology as the hottest investment area in cannabis
Challenges of raising capital in the industry
Cross-industry interest in cannabis opportunities

Cannabis Hall of Fame (00:47:33)

Tony&apos;s role as chairman
Plans for a 13,000 sq. ft. immersive exhibit at Planet 13 in Las Vegas
Goal of destigmatizing cannabis through education and recognition

      <itunes:title>Chris Violas Breaks Down Blaze’s Software Infrastructure</itunes:title>
      <itunes:author>Chris Violas, Bryan Fields, Kellan Finney</itunes:author>
      <itunes:duration>00:52:02</itunes:duration>
      <itunes:summary>Software is unique: when it works as it should, no one thinks twice about it. But the moment there’s a hiccup or delay, it becomes an issue.

Building software that consistently runs seamlessly, while integrating additional features to create an “all-in-one” solution that’s easy to use? That’s nearly impossible.

Kudos to Chris Violas and the Blaze team for achieving just that. Leveraging his AWS background, Chris has created a software environment that boasts an impressive 99.1% customer satisfaction score.

The infrastructure may not be the sexiest part of software, but it’s the foundation everything else is built on. Much like adding a second level to a house, it can either be a smooth process or a massive headache, depending on the strength of the foundation.

This week, we sit down with Chris Violas to discuss:

What most people don’t know about software in cannabis.
Infrastructure and the connection to customer success.
Acquisitions, ecosystems, and the evolution of “all-in-one” solutions.

About Blaze:

A complete cannabis software suite designed to streamline and scale dispensary operations. BLAZE powers every aspect of your retail business with an intuitive point-of-sale, advanced inventory management, built-in loyalty, native e-commerce, and integrated cashless payments. Our goal is to provide a cohesive ecosystem that allows dispensaries to offer an exceptional shopping experience for customers.

when we talk mission critical infrastructure, like our system, like it&apos;s not okay just to have a lag. We have someone in front of the point of sale, like literally pushing buttons and wanting to check out. And so there&apos;s just no space for issues.

it&apos;s nice to have a storefront, but the reality is it is like 80% more efficient on so many levels to fulfill an online order than to have someone walk around with someone in store and hold their hand.

It’s a testament to how far the cannabis industry has come and the progress being made. 

But, as with anything in the cannabis space, there are complexities, caveats, and unique challenges.

For instance, in some markets, consumers can access products directly through D2C channels or dispensaries. While these channels can complement each other and drive brand loyalty, the rise of D2C may also create tension with retailers, who were once the sole point of purchase.

      <itunes:summary>Sometimes, you need to go the extra mile to make a point—like buying every medicine at CVS to show regulators that medicine can, and often does, have flavor.

 Sensible regulations should be rooted in logic, not outdated prohibition fears or baseless stigmas.

 If cannabis is legalized, it should be treated like any other industry, not one plagued by fear of being a shadowy boogeyman.

This week, we sit down with Wendy Bronfein to dive into:

Key Differences Between Maryland and Missouri’s Cannabis Markets
Emerging Marketing Trends and Customer-Focused Strategies
Innovative Crohn’s Disease Research and Product Development
...and so much more.

Are we underestimating the role cannabis could play in shaping global influence? 

U.S. brands have historically had global appeal, but could cannabis open the door to new trade opportunities and strategic value on an international scale? 

Who will lead these global negotiations when the U.S. is still struggling with a state-by-state approach?

Can state-level influence accelerate global change, and what would the timeline for such a shift look like?

This week, we sit down with Hirsh Jain to explore these critical questions and more.

Gone are the days of unicorns, but we’re now in a phase where challenges persist, and change could come quickly. Optimist Bryan is still holding on.

How do you balance emotional attachment with a clear perspective on the investment thesis, recognizing these businesses are moving in the right direction and poised to explode?

This week, we sat down with Jesse Redmond to revisit this thesis and explore exactly that.

The KANHA Story

Our founders embarked on a journey to seek greater balance in their lives that took them from the Amazon rainforest, to the jungles of West Africa, to the ancient cultures of Asia, including transformational lessons from a respected spiritual guide in India. 

This spiritual journey profoundly impacted them and taught them how people from different cultures have learned to live in harmony with the world and how plant based medicine like cannabis can lead to a life of optimal wellness. 

KANHA reflects the way we see cannabis and its role in connecting the world around us, serving as a metaphor that expresses how cannabis offers a better life and a stronger community through your own personal journey to happiness. KANHA strives to lead you on a joyful journey with delicious, reliable edibles. As a leading edible brand in the nation, KANHA delivers delectable gummies in an incredible variety of dosages, effects and flavors — so that consumers can taste the bliss at every step of their journey.

      <title>Keef Brands&apos; Strategy for Navigating Hemp vs Regulated Cannabis Beverages ft. Erik Knutson</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hemp beverages have exploded over the last 24 months, and they are likely the tip of the spear for broader cannabis reform, helping to normalize cannabis through a familiar form factor.</p><p>The opportunity to produce hemp-based products in a single facility and distribute them across state lines offers benefits throughout the supply chain, providing consumers with more cost-effective products—much like how global giants like Coca-Cola operate. However, the rules governing this are still very grey.</p><p>In contrast, regulated markets require brands like Keef to establish individual operations in each state, leading to massive capital expenditures and challenging returns, especially when confined to a single state's population. Now, Keef sometimes finds itself competing with others—or even itself—as those who can distribute more broadly enjoy better unit economics without the burden of regulatory headaches and infrastructure costs.</p><p>Balancing these two models—considering the investments, the state of the market, and the opportunities at hand—is far from simple. Especially when you consider that Keef has been pioneering cannabis beverages for the past 14 years.</p><p>This week, we sit down with Erik Knutson to discuss:</p><ul><li>Building a beverage brand in 2010</li><li>The differences between the regulated cannabis market and the hemp-derived market</li><li>Key manufacturing and strategy decisions</li><li>And much more</li></ul><p><strong>Chapters:</strong></p><ol><li>Introduction and Background (00:00:00) - The hosts introduce their guest, Eric Knutson, co-founder of Keef Brands, and discuss his early introduction to the cannabis industry in Colorado.</li><li>Keef Brands Origin Story (00:01:28) - Eric shares the story of how Keef Brands was founded, starting with their initial focus on cannabis-infused beverages and the challenges they faced in developing the manufacturing process.</li><li>Navigating Expansion and Licensing (00:07:46) - Eric discusses Keef Brands' expansion efforts, the challenges of licensing their brand in different states, and the importance of vetting partnerships.</li><li>Regulated vs. Hemp-Derived Markets (00:27:26) - Eric explains the differences between the regulated cannabis market and the hemp-derived market, including the regulatory landscape, supply chain considerations, and Keef Brands' approach to each.</li><li>Planning and Forecasting in a Rapidly Changing Industry (00:42:32) - Eric shares insights on the challenges of planning and forecasting in the cannabis industry, emphasizing the need for flexibility and caution when it comes to investments and production.</li><li>Advice and Closing (00:46:01) - Eric provides advice for first-time cannabis beverage consumers and shares where listeners can find more information about Keef Brands.</li></ol><p><strong>Guest Links:</strong></p><ul><li>https://keefbrands.com/</li><li>https://x.com/keefbrands</li></ul><p><strong>About Keef Brands:</strong></p><p>Born in Boulder, Colorado in 2010, Keef Brands is a leader in the cannabis beverage space with a suite of products that offer a new generation of consumers an alternative to alcohol and an innovative new way to celebrate, have fun and enjoy life.</p><p><strong>Our Links</strong></p><p><a href="https://x.com/BryanFields24">Bryan Fields on Twitter </a></p><p><a href="https://x.com/Kellan_Finney">Kellan Finney on Twitter </a></p><p><a href="https://x.com/TheDime_8th">The Dime on Twitter </a></p><p><a href="https://www.eighthrevolution.com/the-dime/"><strong>At Eighth Revolution (8th Rev)</strong></a>, we provide services from capital to cannabinoid and everything in between in the cannabinoid industry.</p><p>8th Revolution <a href="https://www.eighthrevolution.com/monthly-report/"><strong>Cannabinoid Playbook</strong></a> is an Industry-leading report covering the entire cannabis supply chain </p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/BryanFields24/status/1597975425321410560/photo/2"><strong>The Dime is a top 5% most shared  global podcast </strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.eighthrevolution.com/the-dime/"><strong>The Dime is a top 50 Cannabis Podcast </strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.8threv.com/monthly-report/">Sign up for our playbook here:</a></p><p>🎥 YouTube:  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcck3tzBNXrJ1WJ8EtIVq1w">The Dime</a></p><p>📸 Instagram:  <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thedime_8th">The Dime</a></p><p> </p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

      <itunes:title>Keef Brands&apos; Strategy for Navigating Hemp vs Regulated Cannabis Beverages ft. Erik Knutson</itunes:title>
      <itunes:author>Erik Knutson, Kellan Finney, Bryan Fields</itunes:author>
      <itunes:duration>00:46:07</itunes:duration>
      <itunes:summary>Hemp beverages have exploded over the last 24 months, and they are likely the tip of the spear for broader cannabis reform, helping to normalize cannabis through a familiar form factor.

The opportunity to produce hemp-based products in a single facility and distribute them across state lines offers benefits throughout the supply chain, providing consumers with more cost-effective products—much like how global giants like Coca-Cola operate. However, the rules governing this are still very grey.

In contrast, regulated markets require brands like Keef to establish individual operations in each state, leading to massive capital expenditures and challenging returns, especially when confined to a single state&apos;s population. Now, Keef sometimes finds itself competing with others—or even itself—as those who can distribute more broadly enjoy better unit economics without the burden of regulatory headaches and infrastructure costs.

Balancing these two models—considering the investments, the state of the market, and the opportunities at hand—is far from simple. Especially when you consider that Keef has been pioneering cannabis beverages for the past 14 years.

This week, we sit down with Erik Knutson to discuss:

Building a beverage brand in 2010
The differences between the regulated cannabis market and the hemp-derived market
Key manufacturing and strategy decisions
And much more

Chapters:

Introduction and Background (00:00:00) - The hosts introduce their guest, Eric Knutson, co-founder of Keef Brands, and discuss his early introduction to the cannabis industry in Colorado.
Keef Brands Origin Story (00:01:28) - Eric shares the story of how Keef Brands was founded, starting with their initial focus on cannabis-infused beverages and the challenges they faced in developing the manufacturing process.
Navigating Expansion and Licensing (00:07:46) - Eric discusses Keef Brands&apos; expansion efforts, the challenges of licensing their brand in different states, and the importance of vetting partnerships.
Regulated vs. Hemp-Derived Markets (00:27:26) - Eric explains the differences between the regulated cannabis market and the hemp-derived market, including the regulatory landscape, supply chain considerations, and Keef Brands&apos; approach to each.
Planning and Forecasting in a Rapidly Changing Industry (00:42:32) - Eric shares insights on the challenges of planning and forecasting in the cannabis industry, emphasizing the need for flexibility and caution when it comes to investments and production.
Advice and Closing (00:46:01) - Eric provides advice for first-time cannabis beverage consumers and shares where listeners can find more information about Keef Brands.

About Sundie Seefried:

Safe Harbor Financial is the brainchild of Sundie Seefried. A 35-year veteran of the credit union industry, in 2014, she saw that CRBs needed financial services and that Colorado communities would be safer if the new industry had access to banking solutions.

A 39-year credit union industry veteran, Seefried was the former CEO of Partner Colorado Credit Union (PCCU). Established in 2015 by PCCU, Safe Harbor was formed to provide an unmet need – compliant banking and financial services to the rapidly growing U.S. cannabis industry. Seefried designed a full scope Cannabis Banking Program for PCCU known as the Safe Harbor program, which has withstood the scrutiny of 16 federal and state exams to date. Now in its 8th year, Safe Harbor has grown to nearly 600 accounts spanning 20 states, and processed over $12 billion in cannabis-related transactions.

Seefried regularly provides cannabis banking education and expertise to legislators, regulators, attorneys generals, state officials, and financial institutions. She is on a mission to normalize banking for the cannabis industry, while assisting law enforcement and federal agencies to be more effective at combating illicit activities and protecting the financial system.

To share her knowledge, Seefried authored the book ‘Navigating Safe Harbor – Cannabis Banking in Uncertain Times’ in 2016, as well as contributed a chapter on cannabis banking in the university textbook ‘The Politics of Marijuana: A New Paradigm’ by Timothy McGettigan.

Safe Harbor Financial is the brainchild of Sundie Seefried. A 35-year veteran of the credit union industry, in 2014, she saw that CRBs needed financial services and that Colorado communities would be safer if the new industry had access to banking solutions.

A 39-year credit union industry veteran, Seefried was the former CEO of Partner Colorado Credit Union (PCCU). Established in 2015 by PCCU, Safe Harbor was formed to provide an unmet need – compliant banking and financial services to the rapidly growing U.S. cannabis industry. Seefried designed a full scope Cannabis Banking Program for PCCU known as the Safe Harbor program, which has withstood the scrutiny of 16 federal and state exams to date. Now in its 8th year, Safe Harbor has grown to nearly 600 accounts spanning 20 states, and processed over $12 billion in cannabis-related transactions.

Seefried regularly provides cannabis banking education and expertise to legislators, regulators, attorneys generals, state officials, and financial institutions. She is on a mission to normalize banking for the cannabis industry, while assisting law enforcement and federal agencies to be more effective at combating illicit activities and protecting the financial system.

To share her knowledge, Seefried authored the book ‘Navigating Safe Harbor – Cannabis Banking in Uncertain Times’ in 2016, as well as contributed a chapter on cannabis banking in the university textbook ‘The Politics of Marijuana: A New Paradigm’ by Timothy McGettigan.

      <itunes:summary>Growing cannabis is like navigating a path in many directions.

Are you cultivating for smokable flowers or extract?

How do you take a skill once passed down from person to person and translate that into high-end cultivation practices that can be standardized across employees or even scaled across companies?

These skills demand a unique blend of rigorous science and an intuitive &quot;feel&quot; that&apos;s hard to quantify.

This Week We Sit Down with Travis Higginbotham to Discuss the Following:

Maximizing Yield Through Light Accumulation
Why Harvest Timing Matters for Extracts vs. Flower
Defining Quality in Cannabis Cultivation
Challenges in Cannabis Cultivation

      <itunes:summary>&quot;Every time a company doubles in size, you need to redo all processes.&quot; – Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn.

The speed and development of the cannabis industry often conflict with the ability to take a step back and recognize the internal organizational changes that have occurred since the last time you aligned your structure.

Are your total compensation packages, timing, and organizational structure retaining and attracting employees?

Can slight improvements outside of just pay provide a massive boost to your team?

Enter Mike Siebold of FlowerHire. Having an experienced industry partner review your company structure to ensure alignment with incentives, titles, and compensation while building an ideal hierarchy might seem like a luxury, but it is a crucial asset.

This week, we sit down with Mike Siebold to discuss:

What is Growth Management?
Pros &amp; Cons of Unions in Cannabis
Leadership Summits

      <itunes:summary>Pricing and promotion in the retail business may seem closely linked but are fundamentally different. Understanding the intention behind a promotion across the organization is a critical yet often overlooked element in the cannabis industry. Using pricing as a tool to drive sales can have unintended consequences. 

For example, if a customer typically purchases one product every 30 days but buys two products when offered at a lower price, they might not return for 60 days.

 Did leveraging the price as a tool for additional sales work as intended?

This week, we dive into the intricacies of cannabis retail, exploring all components of the system to understand what is needed to achieve profitability.

Join us as Krista Raymer discusses how to put the pieces of the puzzle together for a successful retail strategy, covering topics such as:

The difference between pricing and promotion
Internal alignment on promotional strategies
The potential pitfalls of using price to drive sales
Strategy for long-term profitability in cannabis retail

      <itunes:summary>Synthesis, a process that may sound complex, is actually quite common in our daily lives. From the production of everyday items like Advil, organic milk, citric acid, to the creation of vitamins A and D, and multivitamins, synthesis is a key player.

Why does this realization often provoke a negative reaction? 

Perhaps it&apos;s because there&apos;s a desire for clean, safe, and consistent natural products, especially when they originate from plants.

Surprisingly, synthesis enhances our ability to deliver such products.

This week, we&apos;re joined by Shane Johnson to delve into the following topics: 

How minors are manufactured, synthetic vs. biosynthetic 
 Upcoming Minors to keep an eye on 
 Novel APIs &amp; Analogs

When executed perfectly, marketing becomes more than just a line item on a P&amp;L; it becomes a tool with unlimited potential. BRĒZ ability to connect with consumers on a personal level and address all hidden potential questions and concerns reflects textbook marketing prowess that would earn the approval of industry legends like Gary Albert or David Ogilvy.

The storytelling marketing strategy isn&apos;t an Ad but a friendly, informative guide. Educating consumers about an alternative to alcohol minimizes the intimidation factor and highlights the product&apos;s benefits, such as its quick onset and ability to eliminate brain fog. 

The true beauty of Bez&apos;s marketing lies in its authentic storytelling, a quality that is easy to identify yet extremely difficult to replicate.

Marketing Principles used
Hitting Milestone of a Million a Month

This week, we sit down with Paul F. Austin to explore:

The use of psychedelics among CEOs
Steps to prepare for a psychedelic retreat
The benefits of psychedelics across different age groups and considerations for use
And much more

      <itunes:summary>&quot;Great companies were never built by conservative leaders.

Great companies were built by risk-takers.&quot;

Deeply ingrained in Curaleaf&apos;s DNA is the ability to navigate the unknown ahead of opportunities.

Timing these events is nearly impossible, but having the foresight and strategic resources in place when the opportunity strikes can change the game.

For visionaries like Boris Jordan, being early in markets like Germany can be challenging for everyone to see until recent developments materialize.

The US and European cannabis markets operate very differently, and Curaleaf is in a prime position to secure an untapped market share twice the size of the US.

This week, we sit down with Boris Jordan to discuss the following:

Unique Market Differences: Europe vs US
Educating Institutional Investors: What does that conversation look like inside the room?
Breakdown of the German Market, Hint toward Asia
And so much more

      <itunes:summary>The cannabis industry is gearing up for a significant shift towards sensors and technology. These tools aren&apos;t new; they are mainstays in industries like agriculture and oil and gas, now applied directly to cultivation and extraction.

These technologies have been game-changers for the early adopters – playing a crucial role in boosting production and maintaining quality. Imagine having the power to prevent entire crops from failing or ensuring complete cannabinoid extraction, all thanks to sensor technology.

The benefits are substantial for businesses that are quick to adopt these changes. By adopting techniques from other industries, cannabis operators are now embracing best-in-class global practices.

This week, we sit down with Urban-Gro Bradley Nattrass to discuss the following:

Sensors, CEA &amp; AgTech
Turnkey Solutions
Diversification
and so much more

The potential solution: Microdosing cannabinoids.

Imagine a world where you don&apos;t reach for a pill bottle.

Instead, you opt for:

&apos;Bliss&apos; for happiness
&apos;Chill&apos; for relaxation.

The cannabis industry is evolving. Tailored formulations might just be our future, offering specific, targeted effects and reducing reliance on traditional pharmaceuticals.

Why Microdosing Cannabinoids?
The intricate science behind creating specific effects formulations.
Strain selection to targeted edibles the industry&apos;s future.

      <itunes:summary>&quot;People relate to people, and if your brand feels like people, they’ll relate to you, too.&quot; -Laura Busche

Brands ignite ethos. But how? Why do we gravitate towards certain names, bypassing others? It&apos;s that gut tug.

 That undeniable pull that captures your gaze when a product on a teeming shelf beckons you, compelling you to reach out. 

It&apos;s a visceral connection.

Join us this week as Oliver Higgins delves into the following:

• Lady Gaga, Harry Styles, and how he attracted them. 

• Cannabis Block parties, i.e., Buds on Rose. 

• Product Portfolio and staying true to his customer. 

• And so much more.

The challenge between the two groups usually circles the same issue...... money.

Without a clear insight into how &amp; why cultivation yields occur, this unknown can be a major sticking point between parties.

Data can alleviate this challenge and connect &amp; benefit both parties.

Cannabis as a hard reduction tool
Substitute Alcohol
THC tolerance break
Cannabis Risks

This doesn’t exist In this controlled substance space. “I think the cannabis movement is a failure… the whole cannabis movement is fractured — businesses are one page, criminal justice [reformers] on another page.” Matt Zorn 

This week we sit down with Matt Zorn to discuss the following:

How to Fix the Cannabis Industry, 280E
Rescheduling of Controlled Substances
How he’s pushing back on Government Red tape.
Aligning State and Federal Reform

About Matt Zorn:

He has significant expertise in federal jurisdiction and procedure. Matt is at home digging out case-changing evidence, crafting legal strategies under arcane statutes and procedures, eliciting critical deposition or trial testimony, and arguing on his feet to trial courts, appellate courts, and arbitrators.

Matt is also recognized as an authority on issues relating to the federal Controlled Substance Act and relating to cannabis regulation, even being named to the Law360 2020 Cannabis Editorial Advisory Board. Matt routinely speaks and publishes on issues relating to legal issues relating to controlled substances.

Matt has received national recognition for his work in IP and controlled substances litigation. The American Lawyer recently named Matt a finalist for Young Lawyer of the Year (Litigation), and the American Inns of Court named him a 2020 Pegasus Scholar. Best Lawyers in America named Matt “One to Watch,” and Thomson Reuters’ Super Lawyers recognized him as a “Texas Rising Star” in IP Litigation, Cannabis Law, and Administrative Law.

Before joining the firm, Matt was a judicial clerk to the Hon. Rodney Gilstrap, U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Texas, spending hundreds of hours in court helping manage one of the busiest trial dockets in the country. Before then he was a litigator with Paul, Weiss in New York City.

      <itunes:summary>A house of brands is a strategy where each brand has its own identity, representing a different customer profile, need, and messaging. Implementing this strategy requires a deep understanding of positioning &amp; resources.

When a company delivers on this, it allows consumers to quickly grab another product In the family, expanding the adoption of the consumer base and widening its reach.

This is crucial with edibles as the category continues to widen as consumers look for alternatives to smoking and a consistent dialed-in dose.

This week we sit down with Kristi Palmer, Co-Founder of Kiva Confections, to discuss the following:

Targeting Consumers via Brands and Unique Profiles
State-by-State Expansion
Edible Challenges &amp; Opportunities



About Kiva Confections:

In 2010, a young cannabis-loving couple set out on a mission to create a better edible experience for legal consumers. Scott Palmer and Kristi Palmer were inspired by a visit to a local chocolatier and soon started crafting the first Kiva Bars in their home kitchen. They didn’t realize it at the time, but they weren’t just creating a premium edible product, they were setting the gold standard for the entire legal cannabis industry.

      <itunes:summary>Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) is a commonly used term in the cannabis industry, encompassing brands and dispensaries. When it comes to luxury purchases, the entire experience and the emotions it evokes play a crucial role in evaluating customer satisfaction. Luxury brands can command premium prices due to their positioning and the inherent value associated with their products. While the cannabis industry is gradually moving towards establishing such premium price points, it requires a deep understanding of exceeding expectations at every customer touch point.

Implementing and refining these strategic principles is a valuable endeavor. However, it presents significant challenges, including current marketing restrictions, limited capital resources, and the complex nature of establishing a consistent national brand identity in a market that operates on a localized basis.

Applying and developing these strategic principles is a valuable undertaking but comes as a steep uphill challenge.

This week we sit down with David Goubert, CEO of Ayr Wellness, to discuss the following:

How AYR  is applying  luxury retail principles
Implementing realignment strategy and why certain assets didn’t fit
Key touchpoints in the customer journey
Where Opportunities are in cannabis via marketing

      <itunes:summary>An enormous victory for the US Cannabis Vaping sector happened, and most completely missed it.

The recent “definitive victory” by AVD was a critical win for the cannabis industry.

A monopoly would have jeopardized the entire category and potentially put a stranglehold on crucial hardware. This ruling ensures that competition continues and allows brands and consumers to not suffer at what could have been.

The bigger question remains, is this IP battle the first of many?

We sat down with Alex Kwon, Founder and CEO of AVD, to discuss the following:

USITC cannabis vaping dispute
Wartime CEO strategies
Building a Diversified supply chain
Forward-thinking disruption tactics

About AVD:

In our former lives, we were extractors and processors. And, probably like you, we were looking for vape hardware equal to our oils. Except we couldn’t find consistently reliable cartridges. That were correctly designed. Didn’t burn our oil. And were priced for the market.So we said to ourselves,

About Luke Scarmazzo

In 2006, Luke Scarmazzo was running a state-legal medical cannabis dispensary in Modesto, California, when he was arrested by U.S. federal agents following a DEA raid of the business. Scarmazzo was prosecuted in federal court and received a 22-year jail sentence. He and his family have turned to The Weldon Project for support.

Though Scarmazzo’s dispensary was legal through California’s Proposition 215 – which legalized medical cultivation, sales, and consumption in the state – he and his business partner were charged under the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute. The CCE Statute, also known as the Kingpin Statute, is a federal law designed to target large-scale drug traffickers and cartels who are responsible for long-term and elaborate drug conspiracies. It carries a mandatory minimum jail sentence of 20 years.

In 2017, after serving nearly a decade in jail, Scarmazzo petitioned the Obama administration for commutation. His business partner, Ricardo Montes, received clemency, but Luke’s request was denied. In 2020, advocates with the nonprofit The Weldon Project included Luke&apos;s name on a list of 25 marijuana offenders sent to the Trump White House as part of a clemency campaign supported by Republicans, Democrats, law enforcement and various celebrities. Although President Trump granted nine of the requested pardons, Luke’s request was not granted.

Nestled in the Mid-Atlantic and surrounded by states that have legalized cannabis, Maryland&apos;s burgeoning cannabis market has a strategic location that is poised for explosive growth. With the country&apos;s highest concentration of government employees, its potential federal impact on the industry is not to be overlooked.

Remedy is a key player in the limited licenses market. This week we sit down with Brandon Barksdale Co CEO of Remedy Maryland to discuss the following:  

The future of the Maryland market and its potential growth due to its location and consumer demand
The potential influence of the tri-state area on banking reform and full-blown legalization and the government&apos;s role in driving change in the industry.
Unique partnerships with big cannabis brands like Cookies and Holistic in creating the &quot;store within a store&quot; feel in dispensaries.
Adhering to quality standards during the transition from medical to recreational cannabis

      <title>Raj Grover: The Visionary Behind the Costco of Cannabis and Its Thriving Ecosystem</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The Costco of Cannabis, what does that mean, and how does the ecosystem feed opportunities during the most challenging time?</p><p>This week on <i>The Dime,</i> we host Raj Grover, CEO at High Tide, to discuss the following: </p><ul><li>How does the ecosystem business model work</li><li>Exclusive Paid Membership "Cabana Elite"</li><li>Diversified Revenue Streams</li><li>And so much more</li></ul><p><strong>About High Tide:</strong></p><p>Founded in 2009, High Tide Inc. has become the largest revenue-generating cannabis company in Canada¹ with over 400 million dollars in annual revenue run rate. High Tide’s subsidiary, Canna Cabana, is the largest non-franchised cannabis retail chain with over 150 retail locations operating across Canada, including the largest bricks-and-mortar loyalty plan in the country with nearly 1 million Cabana Club members. Our company’s portfolio is also comprised of global e-commerce assets, including the two most popular consumption accessory e-commerce platforms in the world², as well as three of the top international CBD brands serving  the U.S and the U.K. Combined, our online platforms saw over 155 million page views throughout 2022³.</p><p><strong>About: RAJ GROVER</strong></p><p>Since starting his first company at the age of 22, Raj has established himself as one of Canada’s foremost business strategists and deal-makers. He is the founder of High Tide and its subsidiary companies Valiant Distribution and Canna Cabana and is the co-founder of High Tide’s subsidiary, Famous Brandz.</p><p>Through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, Raj has grown High Tide from one small shop of 2 employees in 2009 into Canada’s largest non-franchised cannabis retailer with over 1,450 amazing team members and business interests spanning North America and Europe.</p><p>While committed to building a strong, profitable, and sustainable business, Raj also believes passionately that those who enjoy success hold a particular responsibility to give back. That is why he has spearheaded High Tide’s support of World Vision, which has seen the company sponsor a growing number of children from developing countries. This support has grown substantially since its inception, from the initial sponsorships of 3 children in 2006 to over 300 sponsorships in 2022. Under Raj’s leadership, this number will continue to grow.</p><p>On a personal level, Raj has also been a long-time supporter of Operation Smile, an organization that works to deliver free, safe cleft surgery to children in need saving them from a lifetime of pain and isolation.</p><p><strong>Guest Links </strong></p><p>https://hightideinc.com/</p><p>https://twitter.com/RajGrover_HITI</p><p>https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/TSXV</p><p>https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/NASDAQ-HITI/</p><p>https://twitter.com/HighTide_HITI</p><p>https://www.linkedin.com/company/hightideinc/</p><p><strong>Follow us: Our Links</strong>.</p><p><a href="https://www.eighthrevolution.com/the-dime/"><strong>At Eighth Revolution (8th Rev)</strong></a>, we provide services from capital to cannabinoid and everything in between in the cannabinoid industry.</p><p>8th Revolution <a href="https://www.eighthrevolution.com/monthly-report/"><strong>Cannabinoid Playbook</strong></a> is an Industry-leading report covering the entire cannabis supply chain </p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/BryanFields24/status/1597975425321410560/photo/2"><strong>The Dime is a top 5% most shared  global podcast </strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.eighthrevolution.com/the-dime/"><strong>The Dime is a top 50 Cannabis Podcast </strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.8threv.com/monthly-report/">Sign up for our playbook here:</a></p><p>🎥 YouTube:  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcck3tzBNXrJ1WJ8EtIVq1w">The Dime</a></p><p>📸 Instagram:  <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thedime_8th">The Dime</a></p><p>🐣 Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/BryanFields24">Bryan Fields</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/Kellan_Finney">Kellan Finney</a></p><p><a href="https://the-dime-177afd40.simplecast.com/">🎙 The Dime Podcast: </a></p><p><a href="https://dashboard.simplecast.com/accounts/7f94701d-6578-4fa3-a95a-1a02e33a9619/shows/583052dc-8161-4a60-8c68-f486c33c8be9/episodes/5cf9553c-a1da-4943-9025-df67b7735977/#">Show Less</a></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

About High Tide:

Founded in 2009, High Tide Inc. has become the largest revenue-generating cannabis company in Canada¹ with over 400 million dollars in annual revenue run rate. High Tide’s subsidiary, Canna Cabana, is the largest non-franchised cannabis retail chain with over 150 retail locations operating across Canada, including the largest bricks-and-mortar loyalty plan in the country with nearly 1 million Cabana Club members. Our company’s portfolio is also comprised of global e-commerce assets, including the two most popular consumption accessory e-commerce platforms in the world², as well as three of the top international CBD brands serving  the U.S and the U.K. Combined, our online platforms saw over 155 million page views throughout 2022³.

About: RAJ GROVER

Since starting his first company at the age of 22, Raj has established himself as one of Canada’s foremost business strategists and deal-makers. He is the founder of High Tide and its subsidiary companies Valiant Distribution and Canna Cabana and is the co-founder of High Tide’s subsidiary, Famous Brandz.

Through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, Raj has grown High Tide from one small shop of 2 employees in 2009 into Canada’s largest non-franchised cannabis retailer with over 1,450 amazing team members and business interests spanning North America and Europe.

While committed to building a strong, profitable, and sustainable business, Raj also believes passionately that those who enjoy success hold a particular responsibility to give back. That is why he has spearheaded High Tide’s support of World Vision, which has seen the company sponsor a growing number of children from developing countries. This support has grown substantially since its inception, from the initial sponsorships of 3 children in 2006 to over 300 sponsorships in 2022. Under Raj’s leadership, this number will continue to grow.

On a personal level, Raj has also been a long-time supporter of Operation Smile, an organization that works to deliver free, safe cleft surgery to children in need saving them from a lifetime of pain and isolation.

      <itunes:summary>Today&apos;s cannabis industry is not how it will operate in the future.

Trulieve dominance in Florida is well known, but most fail to realize the critical importance of optionality and flexibility in their strategy, specifically the hub and spoke model.

With new markets such as Pennsylvania, Maryland, Georgia and Connecticut set to come online and footholds in key markets Arizona and Florida, Trulieve is positioned to grow &amp; navigate the unknowns, which is Cannabis.

This week on The Dime, we interview Kim Rivers, Ceo of Trulieve, to discuss

How Kim is studying the rollback of alcohol of prohibition to set up Trulive for future scenarios
What is Cannabis 2.0
The Integration of the largest M&amp;A in Cannabis
Florida Adult Use, Social Equity, and Home grow update.
And so much more

Part 2: Will be released, the following day

      <title>The First Cannabis Consumption Hotel ft. Chris Chiari</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This week we are joined by Chris Chiari, Co-Founder of 420 Hotels to discuss</p><ul><li>Cannabis Consumption Hotel</li><li>Alcohol vs Cannabis Regulations</li><li>Public Enemy #1</li><li>Haunted Experience & Cannabis hospitality</li></ul><p><strong>The 420 Hotels</strong> will be amongst the nation’s first hotel chains where guests will be able to consume cannabis onsite in legally licensed lounges. The idea is to convert intimate boutique hotels into high-end, members-only cannabis consumption clubs merged with luxury overnight accommodations.  Chris Chiari is a driven entrepreneur and award-winning film producer with a wealth of experience in corporate strategy and regional politics. Skilled in marketing and messaging, he has engaged exclusively with the cannabis industry since 2011 and is a tireless advocate for cannabis policy reform and fostering industry growth. </p><p>Chris owns and operates Denver’s historic Patterson Inn, the keystone of The 420 Hotels portfolio. As CEO, he uses his expertise in hospitality, operations and community outreach to address the stigmas and ignorance that still exist around cannabis use while creating a unique and upscale environment for cannabis consumption. </p><p>With a deep appreciation for the power of collaboration, Chris has built a wide-ranging network throughout his career spanning corporate boardrooms and the entertainment industry. <i>Public Enemy Number One</i>, a film by Chris Chiari, is a feature documentary about the War on Drugs, and counts entertainer Ice-T as one of its executive producers. The film won awards for Best Producer and Best Storyteller at its world premiere at DOC LA 2019 and Best Documentary at the 2020 Seattle Film Festival. It is currently available for rent on Amazon Prime and streaming on Pluto TV and Tubi. Chris is a former Deputy Director of Colorado NORML, serving for over eight years.. When not working on The 420 Hotels portfolio, Chris likes to stay involved with grassroots advocacy and advancing social reform; he was one of the five members of the petitioners committee of Denver’s successful 2019 psilocybin ballot initiative. In his free time Chris can be found on the rail at a Twiddle show. </p><p>#Cannabis #CannabisCommunity #CannabisHotel</p><p><a href="https://republic.com/420-hotels">Invest in the 420 Hotels on Republic </a></p><p>Websites: The Patterson Inn | The 420 Hotels | Republic Crowdfunding<br />Facebook: @ThePattersonInn | @The420Hotels<br />Instagram: @12spiritstavern | @thepattersoninn | @the420hotels<br />Twitter: @PattersonInn</p><p><a href="https://www.eighthrevolution.com/the-dime/">At Eighth Revolution (8th Rev)</a> we provide services from capital to cannabinoid and everything in between in the cannabinoid industry.</p><p>8th Revolution <a href="https://www.eighthrevolution.com/monthly-report/">Cannabinoid Playbook</a> is an Industry-leading report covering the entire cannabis supply chain </p><p><a href="https://www.eighthrevolution.com/the-dime/">The Dime is a top 50 Cannabis Podcast </a></p><p> Contact us directly at info@8threv.com Bryan Fields: @bryanfields24 Kellan Finney: @Kellan_Finney </p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As CEO, he uses his expertise in hospitality, operations and community outreach to address the stigmas and ignorance that still exist around cannabis use while creating a unique and upscale environment for cannabis consumption. </p><p>With a deep appreciation for the power of collaboration, Chris has built a wide-ranging network throughout his career spanning corporate boardrooms and the entertainment industry. <i>Public Enemy Number One</i>, a film by Chris Chiari, is a feature documentary about the War on Drugs, and counts entertainer Ice-T as one of its executive producers. The film won awards for Best Producer and Best Storyteller at its world premiere at DOC LA 2019 and Best Documentary at the 2020 Seattle Film Festival. It is currently available for rent on Amazon Prime and streaming on Pluto TV and Tubi. Chris is a former Deputy Director of Colorado NORML, serving for over eight years.. When not working on The 420 Hotels portfolio, Chris likes to stay involved with grassroots advocacy and advancing social reform; he was one of the five members of the petitioners committee of Denver’s successful 2019 psilocybin ballot initiative. In his free time Chris can be found on the rail at a Twiddle show. </p><p>#Cannabis #CannabisCommunity #CannabisHotel</p><p><a href="https://republic.com/420-hotels">Invest in the 420 Hotels on Republic </a></p><p>Websites: The Patterson Inn | The 420 Hotels | Republic Crowdfunding<br />Facebook: @ThePattersonInn | @The420Hotels<br />Instagram: @12spiritstavern | @thepattersoninn | @the420hotels<br />Twitter: @PattersonInn</p><p><a href="https://www.eighthrevolution.com/the-dime/">At Eighth Revolution (8th Rev)</a> we provide services from capital to cannabinoid and everything in between in the cannabinoid industry.</p><p>8th Revolution <a href="https://www.eighthrevolution.com/monthly-report/">Cannabinoid Playbook</a> is an Industry-leading report covering the entire cannabis supply chain </p><p><a href="https://www.eighthrevolution.com/the-dime/">The Dime is a top 50 Cannabis Podcast </a></p><p> Contact us directly at info@8threv.com Bryan Fields: @bryanfields24 Kellan Finney: @Kellan_Finney </p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“Bringing Levia into the Ayr family represents a key addition to our portfolio of high-quality, branded offerings,” said Jonathan Sandelman, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Ayr. “We look forward to expanding the presence of Levia’s seltzers and water-soluble tinctures across our multi-state footprint, while bringing new, innovative form factors to life, like beverage enhancers. With a fast-acting formula and great taste, we believe Levia will be a crucial component in expanding our reach to new and existing consumers who seek a predictable and familiar cannabis experience.”
