Today I talk with my friend Ross Bradshaw, co founder of New Dia, a new Rec dispensary in Worcester, MA opening soon! 

We talk about the beginning of the industry here in CO, what's happening now in MA and the need for social justice programs in the industry. It was good to get his thoughts on how cannabis can benefit highly impacted communities from the war on drugs and some ideas of making sure everyone has a place at the starting line.

Ross has been an active entrepreneur and activist in the industry and it was good to get some insight into the MA legalization path and where we should be headed nationwide.

 

This week I sit down with Genifer Murray. Genifer was president and founder of one of the first cannabis testing labs in the US, and was a founding member of the Women's CannaBusiness Network - the organization that served as the foundation for Women Grow.

Genfier was named by Hemp Connoisseur Magazine as one of the "Top 100 People to Know" in the cannabis industry. She is a leading advocate for legalization and responsible regulation, highlighting the need for product safety and quality assurance, and has become a trusted resource for legislators, industry organizations, and media. 

This episode I catch up with Ryan Tatum of Cultivated Synergy. Cultivated Synergy is a pioneer for coworking, events and networking in the cannabis industry. While none of those services are new, they didn't have a place in the cannabis industry in Denver, CO before Cultivated Synergy.

Cultivated Synergy has been a great resource and platform for the cannabis industry here in Denver, CO and everyone in the industry should look forward to their expansion in the future.
