Friends, this is a special episode that will leave you hanging from a cannabis cliff of customer experience designer Laura Hand of Laura Loo Experience Design. What the heck is “customer experience design”? I wanted to know too! But unfortunately the universe had other plans for us and only allowed us to share HALF of the story…. Stay tuned for part 2 with Laura Loo ;) 

In the meantime, we get right into her unique customer experience background that she brings into cannabis, and why she really loves working with other female entrepreneurs. We also talk about the super embarrassing way we met OMG I’m still mortified! You’ll gain a lot from this quick episode, with a special slideshow of our night on the dancefloor at the Budtender awards on the feminized podcast Weedtube and Youtube!

Ladies & gents, I’m SO THRILLED to announce that today’s guest is none other than JOYA G, aka THE JOYA RIDE, a trailblazer cannabis content creator and ½ of the hit podcast 2 Girls 1 Bong! I’ve been a fan of Joya’s for years and have been waiting to sit down and talk with her about her meteoric rise to the top of YouTube cannabis creator mountain with over 120k subscribers, and then move her content to the safety of The WeedTube where you’ll find her spreading Joy through hilariously high moments with her bestie MacDizzle420. 

In this episode you’ll learn about Joya’s backstory and how she stumbled into cannabis content creation and made it her beeyotch. But you’ll also see a different side of Joya - the Joya who loves life behind the camera and event production, and how being in the spotlight gives her a lil’ more anxiety than she makes it look on camera. Joya opens up fearlessly and as a result, so do I…there will be tears y’all, be prepared!! I couldn’t be more grateful for the time I spent with Joya, and you’ll be grateful too.

As President of The Sales Joint, seasoned sales shark Francesca Vavala has learned the most effective, most exclusive, and most economical way to sell cannabis to dispensaries, and works with growers across the country to make their dreams of seeing their flower on shelves of some of the top dispensaries in the world, a reality. Her “No one grows alone” mantra resonates with not only growers but cannabis business owners of all kinds, and as a result, she’s built a robust network and has insane insight into the cannabis industry as a whole.

Midwest sweetie Cari Carmona wrote a paper about why cannabis should be legal in the 7th grade and she’s never stopped working on behalf of the plant ever since. As the Chief Marketing Officer of Kosmik Brands, one of the leading edibles brands in the country and the first Oklahoma brand to go national, Cari is proud of the brand she has helped build and the award-winning products they create. In fact, watch or listen to this episode after eating because hearing about the next level flavors and ingredients Kosmik is known for will have your mouth watering.  

In this episode you’ll hear about her destined path to work in cannabis, starting at DOPE Magazine and then moving to High Times, and why she moved her family from California, the epicenter of weed, to completely uncharted cannabis territory, Oklahoma. Her story will inspire you to honor the voice in your head even though you may be afraid, because the Universe has got your back and is guiding you even on the darkest days.

Love this episode so much for so many reasons and no, it’s not because we had hella technical difficulties and always found a way to overcome them. It’s because there’s just so much goodness shared between 2 friends who are working hard to educate their conservative communities about the power of the plant. AND of course we smoke a lotta ganja in the process!

It’s our 30th episode I’m so proud to have Nancy Whiteman, the founder and CEO of Wana Brands, on to share her secrets to success… spoiler alert: 12 years of hard work and laser focus on being #1 edibles company in the WORLD! With Wana gummies in almost every major market and an acquisition by Canopy Growth pending, we talk about the products she’s most excited about at the moment, her origin story and path to success, and why the number of women executives in the cannabis industry are dwindling.  

Nancy Whiteman is a role model to every woman and man who wants to leave their mark in the industry and we can all learn from her experience. If you’re in a legal market, find out if Wana edibles are near here: https://www.wanabrands.com/collections/shop-all/
