We made our way down to my old college stomping grounds in Santa Cruz CA, to sit down with @aaron_newsom , one of the founding partners behind @s.c.veteransalliance . This former Marine Veteran has taken his life long mission of serving his community and applied that mission to serving fellow Veterans in his local community since 2010.
*
Along with his partner Jason, they have been serving free cannabis to local veterans every month since 2011, without fail. Their mission is grounded in the idea of safe access, and that no man/woman is left behind. Tirelessly working to take care of one another in helping veterans replace pharmaceutical consumption with natural plant based medicines.
*
This conversation was a little bit of cannabis, and a whole lot about life. Learning acceptance of the world around you, even when it seems out of control. We discussed the idea of silence and how it can truly be revolutionary in self-discovery and healing. There is a constant underlying theme of being present in the moment, to be exactly where your feet are.
*
“Life is a game. If you do not like what level you are currently on, then you better get up and play the game.” “If you love life, Don’t waste time!” Aaron is on a crusade to steer local veterans toward Preventative Maintenance for Health through plant based medicines rather that prescription mediation.
*
I’m grateful to call this man a friend and an inspiration for always keeping his word to the people he serves so selflessly. Continuing on his fight for safe access, Aaron has a relentless attitude of, “one unit, one fight.”
*
The easy way in life, always leads to the hard way. The hard way in life, always leads to the easy way. Find your Art and never let go. Life is a game, and no one is going to play your position for you.
*
Join us for a deep conversation about cannabis, philosophy, human trauma and the spirit to overcome all obstacles that stand in front of you.

The Emerald Kid
Episode 28 Now Available!
In this episode we traveled west on Hwy 299 to the notorious Humboldt community of Willow Creek to sit down with Luke @the_emerald_kid. Luke is the CEO and business mind behind the growing team at @dragon_w_matches.
This young phenom at 26 years old is a husband, father of three, holds a Bachelors in Economics / Masters in Strategic Sustainability and is a leader who is embarking on the relentless journey of cannabis entrepreneurship in the California regulated market.
We sit down to discuss his journey from once almost becoming a culinary chef to now becoming one of the lead minds behind this vibrant and committed team, all while juggling a young and growing family.
During our talks, Luke said something to me that has still stood out in my mind even today. “Knowledge without application is a waist.” Taking that idea, fueled by a deep passion for cost analysis and directly applying all his schooling into building a profitable and sustainable business in the most difficult cannabis markets in the country.
This young man faced a wall of adversity and road blocks during the permitting process. County officials would constantly modify laws/regulations, all while Luke and his team were in the middle of their permit process. Continually learning from this sequence of events he developed an aggressive and relentless relationship with local county officials.
Luke views this cannabis journey as building a project that has no end. Constantly trying to move upstream against the current on a river that has no end.
The best part of this always changing cannabis journey for Luke has been the ability to take all his closest friends and put them all on a substantial salary. “Put the right person, in the right position and learn to stay in your lane,” says Luke. “I have two ears, two eyes and one mouth, I intend to use them in that order.”
Join us for a spirited conversation about his personal journey, building a cannabis business and the joys of being a family man with great personal and professional responsibility.
Two Ears, Two Eyes, One Mouth.

In this episode we travel to the great state of Oklahoma, to sit down with Matt from @arlosytems. One of the leading voices behind permaculture and regenerative cannabis, Matt is an all American ganja man pioneer.
From once being a troubled kid heading down the wrong path, to making a shift in perspective and passion, cannabis saved his life.
Matt has built his career within the application of permaculture design around cannabis cultivation. He calls this journey “a pathway of trial and error through passion.” A constant attempt to build community through soil.
This man’s journey into cultivation through organic living soils, always has been, and still to this day, all about helping to heal the people he loves the most. Family has been at the center of his career and life’s work.
Making a conscience decision to make a shift in health many years ago, he has based his focus and attention on quality cannabis and patient health. Chasing the idea of being one with ganja. Constantly in pursuit of becoming one entity with cannabis, instead of two.
From Massachusetts to California and everywhere between, Matt has traveled all around this country both in cannabis and hemp. He has been self taught through application of research and development. Many years of failures, setbacks and falls have built this man into one of the strongest humans I know. To say his experience and spirit is refreshing and humbling, would be an understatement.
Join us as we talk about embracing the mysteries of life and cannabis, while constantly striving to be a better person than you were the day before.

In this episode we travel to the Sierra Nevada Foothills to sit down with Eric Brandstad from @light_dep_greenhouse and Greenhouse Advisory Group.
.
We discuss his journey through cannabis from the time he was a young man in the early 1990's in Southern Humboldt to traveling around the globe representing grassroots cannabis culture.
.
This story reflects the tenacity and ambition you must have to survive this industry. Do the right thing regardless of the consequences. Choose what is right, no matter how it may effect you personally.
.
Go the Extra Mile!
.
He put in the extra hours of work and go above and beyond what was expected of him. Eric practiced aggressive patients and never stop pushing forward. Constantly putting himself in uncomfortable situations that forced him to level up.
.
Be willing to start over from zero and be humbled by the experience. Your name and your integrity are you ultimate lifeline. Like Eric, you must stand up for what you believe in, even if that means you are standing alone.
.
Eric has been a close friend, confidant and someone I look up to for many years. I'm very proud to announce that Eric has also accepted the invitation to sit on the Board of Directors for The Coalition. Excited to add this mans passion and experience to this growing movement.

Episode 25
.
Join us as we travel down to Southern California to sit down with notorious brothers, Bill and Jeff from @beardbros_pharms.
.
We discuss the journey of them heading the call of cannabis and traveling across the country in pursuit of a dream built on determination and grit.
.
Their strategic decision making has been based on a long-term. big picture vision with the idea that "outlaws always find a way." Its hard to find two men more laser focused on achieving their goal at any cost.
.
Bill reminds us that there is no Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for Cannabis Culture. This culture is not learned inside a master-mind or keynote speech. This grassroots culture is learned through pain, sacrifice and failure.
.
We sit down and discuss the current medical system, big-pharma, lobbying, taxes, policies and the systemic issue of battling corporations who are pushing profits.
.
The Beard Bro's lay out a powerful message of understanding the power of branding in today's market, as well as properly relaying that same passion and ethos to patients/consumer. Bill and Jeff also give us their prediction for what the future holds with federal legalization across the country.
.
This is an absolute must listen for anyone inside the cannabis space. I couldn't be more proud to call these men some of my closest friends, and it has been an absolute honor to watch their journey over the years.
.
As you listen to this captivating episode, I believe you will be hearing who will become two of the most influential voices in cannabis over the next decade.
