Dave Daly, founder of Grav Labs, shares his 20-year journey from creating the original Gravitron in his parents' garage to building an iconic cannabis accessories brand that's now expanding into THC beverages.

• Building a differentiated product with the original all-glass gravity bong in 2004
• Growing through innovation when a simple taster product helped save the company from debt
• Navigating the evolution from a single-product company to a full accessories line
• Making the transition from founder-CEO to bringing on a 50-50 partner
• Creating legal agreements that discourage litigation through requiring neutral arbitration
• Expanding into new categories with a glass-bottled THC beverage that "tastes and feels like you smoked weed"
• Developing distribution strategies through existing smoke shop channels while exploring liquor store opportunities
• Bringing valuable product expertise to the board of a public cannabis company
• Dealing with supply chain challenges from the recent US-China tariff increases
