Listen Later

Join us on Higher Exchanges for an insightful conversation with Aaron Miles, Chief Investment Officer of Verano Holdings Corp., as we dive into the evolving landscape of the cannabis industry. With over 20 years of financial expertise, he shares how Verano continues to navigate challenges and seize opportunities.

 Q2 2025 Financial Highlights
We break down Verano’s latest performance: a 9% year-over-year revenue dip to $202M, with a projected 7% decline for 2025. With 157 dispensaries nationwide, $403M in debt, $69M in cash, and a 28% drop in operating cash flow, Aaron unpacks the strategies behind these numbers and how Verano is positioned to resume growth as key new states flip to adult use. 

Answering Top Listener Questions
Aaron tackles your burning questions: Will Verano bring back wholesale by state reporting? What’s the latest on the Vireo lawsuit? And how is Verano positioning itself for the future of interstate commerce in cannabis?

Managing the Chaos
Beyond the numbers, we explore how Aaron stays grounded in the high-pressure world of cannabis. From psychedelics and meditation to creative outlets like Music for Mushrooms, discover the tools that help us manage the chaos of cannabis investing.
