Every cannabis entrepreneur has a different exit strategy, and Debra Borchardt is a story for anyone who is looking to make the exit in cannabis. Although Debra is still working in her business, she is no longer an equity owner.

In this episode, I get to dive deep into Debra's journey with selling her company Green Market Report.

About Debra:
Debra has covered the cannabis industry since its earliest stages when she recognized that the legalization story was the biggest business news story of the decade. As a senior producer and reporter at TheStreet.com, Debra was awarded an ASPBE.org (American Society of Business Publication Editors) in 2014 for Best Video - News, “Guess Where People Want To Buy Pot.” Debra is also a Co-Founder of the women’s cannabis executives networking group Industry Power Women and serves on the board of the cannabis newswire Axiswire.

She began her career in the securities industry where she was a Vice President at Bear Stearns holding three securities licenses. She left Wall Street to earn her Masters's Degree in Business and Economic Reporting from New York University. At that point, she embarked on a career as a financial journalist and spent eight years at TheStreet.com working daily with Jim Cramer. She is also a frequent panel moderator and guest at cannabis conferences. Looking ahead to 2019, Debra has big plans for GMR, which include the launch of additional websites. Following the successful Green Market Summit in  2018, she is planning her next Green Market Summit event in Chicago on May 7.
