- From The Closet To The Greenhouse Part 1 Of 2 With Matt Gillard
Cannabis is an industry most people ignore, and therefore they miss all the fun and benefits it has to offer. Matt Gillard saw the opportunity to grow commercial cannabis ever since he was young, though his dream did not start in the most legal way. As he sits down with Tony Frischknecht, he shares the interesting story of how he left his illegal smuggling ways in favor of starting a legal cannabis greenhouse to grow the plant for legal purposes in the form of Jamaco, LLC. He details how he has surpassed his brother in terms of business growth, how the people around him gave him the best pieces of advice, and his plans for his company's future.
