Whether we’re talking couches, alcohol, or cannabis, a digital direct-to-consumer model requires flexibility and strategy. Jarod Duggins talked to Meredith Mahoney, President of Lantern, a cannabis delivery company. Prior to finding her Career in Cannabis, Meredith worked for Wayfair helping found and run a few of their in-house brands before leaving to become a part of an East Coast alcohol delivery company named Drizly. After very successfully navigating the tumultuous terrain surrounding the alcohol industry in their home state, one of the founders of Drizly then decided to branch out in order to start a partner delivery, servicing the cannabis consumer.
