This is a repost of an episode I recorded almost 4 years ago- I just wanted to repost here as I relaunch the podcast so we can have a good back ground starting point. 

John Vale is a local South Texas entrepreneur involved in founding and operating multiple food businesses and more in San Antonio area. 

We go into some of Johns start up stories, lessons learned in early ventures, and how to find the right employees and partners. 

Quick episode we recorded spur of the moment when my man Dice came through the studio to learn more about preroll production and what we do at Emjayze Hemp. He mentioned he could freestyle so we had to go HOT on the mics! 

Here a lil tase of the San Antonio native spitting some FIRE! 

The Emjayze team talks updates in our personal lives and projects and shares some stories about our Psychedelic Experiences. 

"Your mind makes decisions. Feelings ask, Really? you sure about that?

Your mind tells you to get to the gym. Feelings say, Stay in bed.  One day won't matter.

Your mind deals with pain by finding ways to stop hurting. Feelings thrive on being hurt.
 
Your mind counters the disappointment of failure with the knowledge that its possible to try again. Feelings cling to regret for everything you never tried.

Your mind manages pressure. Feelings turn pressure into stress, and mange none of it.

Your mind can let go of the past, forgive grudges, and look to the future. Feelings hold on to every last bit of trash, forever.

Weakness, laziness, frustration, negativity, anxiety.
Every single morning you get to decide whether to give those things a vote."
-Tim Grover, W1NNING (pg 82)

This one is not for the faint of heart. If you're ready for this real talk give this a listen. If not, this might just hurt your feelings... and I love you, but fuck your feelings you need to hear this. It could save your life.

“Until the 1880s in America (and until the 20th century in most of the rest of the world), 80 percent of all textiles and fabrics used for clothing, tents, bed sheets and linens, rugs, drapes, quilts, towels, diapers, etc., and even our flag, 'Old Glory,' were principally made from fibers of cannabis.” - Jack Herer, The Emperor Wears No Clothes

Not all hemp apparel is created equal! This episode you will learn about the differences between mechanical and chemical processed apparel and get some insights into the industrial hemp textile supply chain.

With this information you can support hemp apparel companies that are steering the hemp industry in a truly sustainable direction as opposed to putting on the track of toxic fast fashion.

As the textile side of the industry continues to unfold I will post more podcasts on the details of the supply chain which is fairly robust and detailed. 

For now, spark a joint, listen up and if you feel inspired to "wear your weed" head over to our webstore to buy one of our 100% Hemp hats or Mechanically process hemp hoodies.

Introducing our man DeLaStoner! We talk about Luis' cannabis story, favorite cannabis methods, and cannabis culture. Not much to say here except listen up and get to the man behind the brand!

What does it mean to be "From the cannabis community"?
Whats it like to have grown cannabis illegally and distribute cannabis on the black market?

As we transition to a legal industry, the community is expanding to include those who were never part of the industry to begin with. Theres not a problem with that, unless they are setting up an industry to exclude those of us who have been building the industry before there was an industry.

This episode highlights some stories that only those FROM THE CULTURE will understand and relate to. 

This gives context to the meaning of From the community, For the culture. We've already had a few partnerships fall through in our journey due to dealing with people who are not from the community and culture and don't operate with the same values, code, and vision.

As this sessions comes to an end I give a quick recap of the bills that are likely to be signed by the Governor regarding cannabis and hemp reform. Listen in to see why although progress was made I am (along with many) very frustrated at the outcome of this session.
