Episode 186 is the 49th episode of Season 3.

Our guest today is Colin Fraser, founder and CEO of Upling, the first Black-owned delivery-focused cannabis app. Colin’s journey from survivor and returning citizen to entrepreneur and health equity advocate has shaped a mission rooted in accessibility and empowerment. What began as a personal response to his mother’s struggle with healthcare has grown into a platform reimagining how patients connect with cannabis.

Upling recently introduced Bud-E, an AI-powered tool that uses patient health data to make personalized cannabis recommendations. The feature brings precision medicine to the cannabis experience, helping patients find the right strains for their specific needs. With service across Washington, D.C. and Maryland, Colin’s vision blends technology, compassion and lived experience to bridge gaps in care and equity.

We talk about second chances, tech for social impact and the future of personalized cannabis.
