Budz Radio

On this episode of WeedBudz Radio Ry sits down with Dana Shoched, a veteran of the U.S. Navy,  who has dominated vape hardware in the cannabis industry with her company O2 Vapes. For those that do not know, the cannabis industry is facing a problem that will result in a potential death knell to many vape product companies. The US government modified the 1949 Jenkins Act during the rollout of the stimulus in December, and it categorizes all components and elements used in ANY vaporizing device as a nicotine delivery device and forces shippers to comply with stringent rules, including registering with the U.S. Attorney General and maintaining and reporting addresses of delivery and quantities of products. Join us and Tune in to see how this will effect everyone in a BIG way.

WeedBudz host, Ry, sits down with networking genius, Chelsey Moter to discuss how networking has changed during lockdown and the solutions to those changes. During lockdown all in person networking events were either postponed or cancelled. As a result it became much more difficult for individuals to network and connect with others in their industry. Understanding that people were missing and needing that face-to-face interaction, without the small talk, Chelsey and her team created a virtual speed networking event, called Lit & Loaded. Geared towards professionals in the Cannabis industry, it is a 3-minute introduction and that is it! If you and the other professional both hit the connect button at the bottom of the screen, you will be sent each other’s contact info and it will move on to the next person.  If you are looking to expand your network, generate leads, and close more deals than this is the event for you!

Time: March 25th 2021 @ 2pm EDT to 7pm EDT

First meeting on Clubhouse, Ry speaks to Scott, a community builder, networker, and Founder of Bloom Mary Jane. The cannabis industry is new and fast-growing, so of course are seeing news stories, products, and even new artists flooding the scene. With not many websites or platforms promoting what is going on in the cannabis world, Scott and his team at Bloom Mary Jane aim to fix the problem by shining a spotlight on these areas of the industry. This along with creating luxury CBD bath bombs, makes this site worth the visit. Join us!

Ry introduces us to Melissa of MJ Hybrid Solutions, Melissa has been working with cannabis for about six years and during that time she realized one glaring problem within the marijuana retail industry, lack of education. Budtenders do not always receive the training they need, especially when the community starts to evolve and create new strains as well as new products. In a world where consumers, especially new ones, need to feel safe, Melissa provides training for wellness, as well as product knowledge for dispensaries so that they may advise their customers accordingly. Let’s find out what goes into to knowing your smoke.

Grab your budz and join Ry as he sits down with Lauren Mundell, the founder of Hi-Curious. As much as we do knot like to admit it, there is still a stigma regarding marijuana use. During the magical time of 420, we go through the journey that started with Lauren coming all the way from New York, or as she calls it, “the corporate world”, to creating a social platform where users in the cannabis industry can openly discuss questions about marijuana use, and network openly without the fear of judgement from others that are not in the cannabis space. Thanks to Lauren and Hi-Curious we are one step closer to normalizing cannabis. Join us and don’t forget to download the Hi-Curious app!

Ry sits down with Tino, Brand Ambassador for Design Kush, to discuss the new, upcoming apps, such as Clubhouse. For those that do not know, this is an app that not  only lets you take part in conversations, but listen to leaders of the industry. Tino also takes time to discuss his personal journey that led him to the cannabis community, along with some important projects Design Kush has done, such as the awareness video they created for The Last Prisoners Project, specifically, Michael Thompson. The powerful video, “Let’s Win Together”, was created in hopes of bringing awareness to the still lingering issue of incarcerations for cannabis related crimes. Join us!

Ry and Ishqa first met when he appeared on the CannaBoss Babes Podcast. Last year these folks happened to release over 420 episodes, which is amazing considering some news anchors refuse to record that many! Now our two podcasters sit down and discuss, in a time where everyone needs an ally, why it is more important to understand than to be understood.
Realizing that all people need empathy and acceptance,The CannaBoss Babes have created a space where anyone can not only tell their story, and explain their journey but also learn how to help others create that safe space as well. Join Us!

It not only helps us as entrepreneurs know more about the plant, but more importantly it helps us protect our customers. We touch base with Christina regarding the difficulties of not only what Ry likes to call purging the past, but also what steps we as individuals can take to help us become better versions of ourselves. Join Us!
