In this segment of the Cannabis Capitalist Radio show, Karen Rands is joined again by Kristen Yoder to discuss a fast path to losing money in the cannabis industry.  We like to believe that people have the best intentions and want to do no harm that would hurt the momentum of the movement to legalize cannabis across America.  Where one person sees the opportunity to invest time and money into industry in its infancy with all the potential to be as big than any other sector and to help society with an alternative to opiod addiction and alchohol related illnesses; another person, it seems, will seek ways to manipulate the hopes and dreams of entrepreneurs and investors by providing misleading information and half-truthes for the sole pupose of making a quick buck by enticing the unsuspecting into fraudulant opportunities.   Kristen will talk about real life examples she has seen of fraud being perpetrated and how in some ways the regulatory environment provides fertile ground. 

Karen Rands, as host of the Compassionate Capitalist Radio Podcast, sees the legal Cannabis Industry as a micro-economy within a whole new rapidly developing industry.  As an influencer to investors and entrepreneurs, Karen has created the Cannabis Capitalist Radio series to educate the market on all the aspects of this industry before they invest time and money starting or investing in a business in the Cannabis Industry.

Karen Rands, as host of the Compassionate Capitalist Radio Podcast, recognizes the micro-economy of a whole new industry that is rapidly developing -- the legal Cannabis Industry.  As an influencer to investors and entrepreneurs, Karen has created a new series, Cannabis Capitalist Radio,  to shed light on all the aspects of this industry and educate her audience before they invest time and money starting or investing in a business in the Cannabis Industry.

There is a fallacy that permeates the industry. Cannabis is marketed with cute names with claims of euporia, or relaxation, or pain relief, and although that may be true in many cases, due to the nature of how the cannabinoids interact with the human CB1 & CB2 receptors, it is not always the case.  Each person's biochemistry is different and therefore the actual effect is unpredictable.  However, there is a way that many experienced in the industry are able to use to help a consumer predict for him or herself how a particular type of flower will effect them -- the Smell. 

In this podcast Karen and Kristen will dig into this fascinating world of the three T's of Horticulture: Trichome, Terpenes & Terpenoids and how they influence the effect of Cannabis on an individual.

Karen Rands is joined by Neil Howe, Best Selling Author and Entrepreneur, to discuss his latest book:  The Trust Factor.

The Trust Factor is the science of creating authority positioning in the subconscious. This technology is based on a model whereby the major thinking part of human activity (over 90%), including emotion, takes place in the subconscious area that is below the levels of controlled awareness. Neil uses case studies to back up his findings. He also provides applications of it for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and professionals. 

Traditional marketing methods used by entrepreneurs, small business owners, and professionals won’t trigger decisions at a subconscious level. They just use whatever the “shiny button” is at the moment and hope that it will work.  Instead, they should use the scientific approach of The Trust Factor to capture insights that predict why prospects will choose to follow, respect, and eventually buy from one person over another. 

Listen to this podcast to discover the powerful methods in Neil's book that will increase your Authority, Credibility, and Trust, change how you market your business.  When you can take the guess work out of your marketing strategy and streamline conversions based on your potential customer's trusting your authority, you will be on the fast tract to new levels of success.
