Breaking Budz Podcast

Six months later… Breaking Budz is back. 

Episode 4 is just me — no guest, no forced comeback, just everything that happened while I wasn’t recording. 

I talk about going from the retail side of NY cannabis into wholesale, what I’ve learned seeing the business from a completely different angle, Revelry, the Mike Tyson story, Dark Heart’s Sugar Kushions, OCM, what really happens behind dispensary shelves, and why my return to Hall of Flowers is going to feel completely different this time around. 

Somewhere along the way I realized Breaking Budz never really stopped. I just wasn’t recording. 

The whole time, I was collecting stories. Now I got stories.

Where the Smoke Meets the Story.

We sit down with Chef Marq of Brown Budda for a raw conversation about his journey from the Bronx, to the kitchen, to building one of New York’s most unique cannabis spaces.

From incarceration to entrepreneurship, this episode dives into culture, resilience, cannabis, and what it really takes to create your own lane.

More than smoke… it’s the story behind it.
