Brian Sekandi on Kids of Cannabis and Ending Cannabis Stigma


Listen Later

Did you know that the world’s first piece of paper was made from cannabis? Before cannabis became largely known as a smokable herb, it was revered for its versatility, and used to make all sorts of inventions and everyday items, even cars!

In this episode, we’re speaking with startup founder and cannabis children’s book author, Brian Sekandi, about his book newly published book, Kids of Cannabis. We explore the importance of ending cannabis stigma in order to spark innovation and help prepare children for the job market that they’ll meet in the near future.

Kid of Cannabis is a story about three kids whose parents work in the fast-growing cannabis CBD industry. Because of the widespread cannabis stigma, the characters haven’t told any of their friends what their parents do for work until today.

In addition to the book, we discuss Brian’s own relationship with cannabis as a child, his creative process when writing the book, the danger of leaving cannabis out of conventional agriculture and horticulture education, the benefit of doing what’s right in life even when you’re nervous—and what's it's like running the industry-leading cannabis job search engine company in North America.
