00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: fla Days because I got tired of seeing people getting

31
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: screwed over after twenty years of Wall Street.

32
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: You know what I want to do is I want

33
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: to empower you, guys.

34
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: I want to tap you into what's here in my

35
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: brain after twenty years of being on the crazy thing

36
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: that they call Wall Street. And I want to tap

37
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: you into some of the special guests that I'm bringing

38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: onto the show and tap you into the years of

39
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: wisdom that some of these special guests brings on the show. Now,

40
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: you guys know that one of my favorite things about

41
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: talking about money is that these taxes thing that everybody

42
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: hates about. It should not just be an April problem.

43
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: The misconceptions people think about their taxes during April. Guys,

44
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: taxes should be something that if you're a sole proprietor

45
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: or a business owner, an entrepreneur, you should be kind of

46
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: conscious of that every month, guys. And that doesn't mean

47
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: you got to pull out shit or look at your

48
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: receipts and make it complicated. You should just have a

49
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: competent accounting team. That's a strategist. That's why I love

50
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: my friends over at Easier Accounting.

51
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: You guys.

52
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: Easier Accounting makes it easy. By definition, they're called Easier Accounting.

53
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: I've worked with these fellows for several years now. They

54
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: got a powerful organization. It's not just online. They got

Speaker 2: You can find them at easier Accounting dot com.

60
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: Now, you, guys, I got a little tongue tied again

61
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: because not only am I surrounded by a couple of

62
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: beautiful ladies, but these ladies have really empowered my mind.

63
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: We've had several hours of conversation here in the studio

64
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: and this was a very quite frankly unorganized, unplanned show,

65
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: but I got inspired to invite them on on a

66
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: special edition of Financial Fridays here today because it's very

67
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: rare that you meet two ladies from completely different walks

68
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: of life that not only are they giving back to

69
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: their respective communities, they're giving back to humanity, but they're

70
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: doing things that are really inspiring and promoting people. And

71
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: right before the show, I was honored to be a

72
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: guest host on the flagship show Cannabis Talk one on one.

73
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: We're Blue and Joe Grande, the number one source for

74
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: everything cannabis, asked me to host. And these ladies had

75
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: their four or five their their graduating class of Cookies

76
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: You on the show and we got to meet some

77
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: of these students have been inspired. They're from all of

78
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: the United States, from Buffalo to Texas to a couple

79
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: other cities that I can't remember right off the bat,

80
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: but these guys were inspired, they've graduated. We brought them

81
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: on the show to kind of celebrate their graduation and

82
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: it was really inspiring to then talk to the ladies

83
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: kind of behind the scenes. So today, without further ado,

84
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna introduce two ladies here to my left, I

85
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: got Amanda Friedman, the director of social Impact at Cookies You,

86
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: and by the way, hold your plus, hold your plus.

87
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: I got a couple more.

88
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: I know, I know you can't, you can't hold your excitement,

00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: but listen up. Amanda Freedom. And she is the director

90
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: of Social Impact at Cookies You. This gal has literally

91
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: from the ground up, built this organization and has inspired

92
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: now three generations or three graduating classes of graduates that

93
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: are gonna go out into the world, go back to

94
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: their communities to inspire their colleagues and their friends and

95
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: their family. And then of course we got miss Lindsay

96
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: Lindsay rant Renner. She is the owner of Native Humble,

97

Speaker 1: She's the CEO of Sovereign Agency. She's also an instructor

98
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: at Cookies You. And she probably has twenty other companies

99
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: that she didn't tell me about because she's scared of

100
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: how much shit. I'm going to give her an advice.

101
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give her because I love how receptive these

102
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: ladies arets advice. But without further ado, please welcome these ladies.

103

Speaker 2: To the show. Now you can clap, well, welcome.

104
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 5: You know.

105
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: I'm going to start with the one that's the most prepared,

106
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: the one that's not nervous to be on the show. Amanda,

107
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: how are you. She's doing great. You guys, Amanda, please,

108
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, give her some graes. This was our first

109
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: time of the show, but she's a natural abb of feeling.

110
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: She's going to be a guest house on many other podcasts.

111
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: In fact, Joe Rogan just called me. He asked me

112
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: to let you know that he wants you on the

113
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: show already.

114
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: You okay with that?

115
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's talk about some aliens.

116
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're big on the conservative shit I heard. No,

117
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: we've had some enlightening conversations. But before we get into

118
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: too much fun, Amanda, first of all, I want to

119
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: thank you for creating a platform that you were able

120
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: to bring, you know, four students. One unfortunately I had

121
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: a death in family. And the four students that you

122
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: brought were inspired. They were people that otherwise you know,

123
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 1: they put in their heart and soul into their applications,

124
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: and you've created a curriculum for people to come in

125
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: from all over the United States to really get a

126
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: university style education there in Humboldt County, which is your hometown.

127
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: And first of all, thank you.

128
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: I think there's there's nothing negative anything anybody could say

129
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: or should say out something like that because you've You've

130
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: really changed four people's lives that I saw here today.

131
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 6: Thank you.

132
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, what inspired you to kind of go down that

133
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: path or what? What what makes you want to be

134
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: so giving in a world that's so taking.

135
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 7: Woo, okay with the deep stuff right off the bat,

136
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 7: I mean, I think I'm just an empathetic person. So

137
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 7: if I see other people hurting, it hurts me. And

138
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 7: I don't know, like, what is the point of even

139
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 7: being on the planet if you're not helping other people.

140
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 7: So my goal has always been for my life, whether

141
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 7: that be my work or my personal life, is that

142
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 7: I'm elevating others and leaving the world better than I

143
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 7: found it. So that just as a kind of my ethos.

144
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 7: But I Humble is actually not my hometown. I grew

145
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 7: up in Washington State, and I kind of ran away

146
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 7: to Humble. I just like ran away to go live

147
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 7: in the woods after a lot of my own trauma

148
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 7: and just needing to like have time to be and

149
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 7: to develop without kind of all the pressures of the world.

150
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 7: And humbold County really like opened up their arms and

151
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 7: welcomed me there. And I never intended on working in cannabis,

152
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 7: but I just found such a peaceful, wonderful home there

153
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 7: that where the whole world kind of revolved around cannabis,

154
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 7: and so I kind of came into it accidentally, but

155
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 7: I've been in cannabis ever since, and that was seventeen

156
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 7: years ago.

157
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: Wow.

158
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, this program kind of just came out of that

159
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 7: of like weed gave me my ability to kind of

160
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 7: like make a paycheck and have a balanced, healthy life.

161
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 6: And this is paying it forward.

162
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: And you know, you and I briefly talked before the show,

163
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: and both you and I have not come from means.

164
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 1: You know, we weren't born with silver spudents in our mouth,

165
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: and it takes really a lot for somebody that they

166
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: came from. You know, we bought We very honestly spoke

167
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: about we both grew up poor and poor as releive, right,

168
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: and we didn't have all the options given to us.

169
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: And for you to come from that world and now

170
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: your mission now is to really inspire help others.

171
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: It's just a testament.

172
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: Usually you see a lot of people that come from

173
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: a lot, right, and all of a sudden they're very charitable.

174
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: They're trying to be charitable and they're trying to get

175
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: those accolades and what I've found from you, and I

176
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: think that's one of the reasons both myself everybody here

177
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: at C two one one has really embraced you.

178
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: Guys.

179
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: It's because you're coming from such a pew heart, and

180
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: I commend you for that.

181
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: And I know I've been beating you up.

182
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: Because I'm like, come on, man, we can't keep giving

183
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: this shit away for free. But you're kind of selling

184
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: me and you're swinging me your way because I do

185
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: file find that maybe over the years I've become a

186
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: little bit jaded and I find and we've been talking

187
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: about this and I can't wait to dive into this

188
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more.

189
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: But I think the more.

190
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: People communicate, the more they meet in the middle. And

191
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: maybe I needed somebody like you in my life to

192
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: kind of bring me back towards that center, to understand that, man,

193
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: I can't just be so cynical and brutal and cut

194
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: and hurt that I got to be so this way,

195
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: that it's always got to be about monetization and this

196
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: at and I think there's truthfully and honest middle.

197
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: So thank you for being on the show.

198
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,400

Speaker 1: you are one of the instructors at at Cookies. You

208
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: and you have a very deep tie to the Indian

209
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: tribal whatever vernacular we got to use, that's that's that's

210
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: socially correct, but essentially you you were tied into the

211
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: tribal nation, right and you have found also a similar

212
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: calling into inspiring you know, your people.

Speaker 1: And really taking this message of cannabis education, cannabis empowerment,

215
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: woman empowerment, and entrepre spreneurship into a different vertical that

216
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,080

233
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: Ok.

234
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, but I've worked with some of the team

235
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 6: members there, that's fair to that.

236
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:55,000

Speaker 5: Yeah, so you've been working for them, and I you know,

00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 6: I need to do a podcasts.

247
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: You're so gracious, right, Really.

248
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 5: It's leading into kind of like the relationship that we've

249
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 5: built and what we're working on within tribal nations. Right.

250
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 9: So I'm Native American, I'm why Lackey.

251
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 5: I'm from the Round Valley Indian tribes out of Mendocino County,

252
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 5: so northern California. I'm actually the only female that's an

253
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 5: enrold member of a federally recognized tribe to hold a

254
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 5: license in California.

255
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: Elaborate on that. You mean you're the only female tribal.

256
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, the tribal member that has one, right.

257
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: So that has a cannabis cultivation.

258
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 5: Just any license, any like a female female, legend female.

259
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: Now is that because of the restricted nation of the

260
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: tribe or just.

261
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 9: The way California? Yeah?

262
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, so yeah, cannabis within tribal nations is just like

263
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 5: just fascinating, right and yeah good and bad. But so

264
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 5: some states allow for tribes to integrate and some states don't.

265
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 5: In California didn't so up until now, and they've actually

266
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 5: just started to initiate the conversations, but they didn't allow

267
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 5: for tribal nations, for tribes to actually integrate into the

268
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 5: California wreck market, and so no one really tried to.

269
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 5: So you can't grow on tribal land and kind of integrate.

270
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 5: So yeah, I think there's I'm I think there's one

271
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:57,119
Speaker 5: other man that holds a license, but I'm the only female.

272
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 5: There's only a couple of us in California that have

273
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 5: California Wreck licenses.

274
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 9: And then Nevada.

275
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 5: You know, they allow tribes to integrate, so that's called compacting.

276
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 5: Washington allows compacting some states to do some tribes. Even

277
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 5: if it's allowed, they choose not to. But yeah, so

278
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 5: I'm also the owner one of a million.

279
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we could say you're one of millions. Yeah,

280
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: well you heard it here on Financial Fridays.

Speaker 2: Guys, we've got one of a million's in the house.

282
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: Right when we come back, I want to hear a

283
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: little bit more about what the tribes are doing to

284
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: get back to their people, how their encroachment is into cannabis,

285
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: and how they are kind of really utilize the fact

286
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: that they got packed free.

287
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 2: Ability to sell product domination.

288
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,760

306
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: one on one iHeartRadio.

307
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: Listen up. We were just talking to you and you were.

308
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: Telling me about all the opportunities not necessarily opportunity, but

309
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: how the tribes are getting into cannabis right and recently

310
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: had an experience that I won't name names, but I

311
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: learned for the first time that these tribes when they

312
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: are having dispensaries on the tribe, they don't have to

313
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: charge all their regious taxes. Now, just speaking about California directly,

314
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: that shaves thirty percent right off the top, right, So boom,

315
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: they're competitive. I mean, you can charge thirty percent last

316
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: for announce or a gram or a joint. Is that

317
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: accurate or am I reading too much into this?

318
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 9: Yeah? No, that's completely accurate.

319
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: Question number two is how can I invest in you

320
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: and every other dispenser?

321
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: So are we locked out?

322
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: Do we do? We have to have a bloodline? Talk

323
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: to me about the economics of that. Yeah.

324
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 5: So, I mean there's a lot of people working in

325
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 5: Indian country right now when it comes to cannabis.

326
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 9: It's relatively new.

327
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 5: We've seen a lot of progress over the last six months,

328
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 5: and so there's a few consultants in the space.

329
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 9: I'm one of them.

330
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 5: I'm the owner of the sovereign agency, So you know,

331
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 5: I actually encourage tribes to own one hundred percent and

332
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 5: do like licensing deals or something like that. So you know,

333
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 5: a company can come in from the California rec mark

334
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 5: it like cookies or something, and do a licensing deal, right,

335
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 5: but the tribe still owns it. I think it's important

336
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 5: for tribes to retain that control for multiple reasons, but

337
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 5: one of which is that I've visited a lot of

338
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 5: tribal nations and you know, I mean sometimes you get

339
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 5: some pretty sketchy investors, right, like, you know, it's kind

340
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 5: of predatory situations. I think, you know, that's to be expected.

341
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 5: So to prevent that, I encourage tribes to own a

342
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 5: hundred percent. But that doesn't mean they can't, you know,

343
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 5: have partnerships and relationships with other, you know, companies. So

344
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 5: there's kind of two options I talked about, like states

345
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 5: allowing compacting, so they can either compact into like a

346
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 5: state market or.

347
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: Then you mean, by compact for the audience that doesn't

348
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: know what that working.

349
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, so compacting would be if you decided to integrate,

350
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 5: like if California allowed for tribal nations to integrate into

351
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 5: the California wreck market, you would as a government. Because

352
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 5: so there's five hundred and seventy four tribes and the

353
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 5: United States, and each one has their own government and

354
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 5: it's almost ran like a corporation, so it has an

355
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 5: exec board and it also has a tribal council. And

356
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 5: so there are these many nations right within states, and

357
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 5: there's five hundred and seventy four of them, which is

358
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 5: so crazy, all you know, dispersed throughout the nation. So

359
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 5: if a tribal nation wanted to create a situation where

360
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 5: they could integrate into the California reck market, they could

361
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 5: talk to you know, state officials of California.

362
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: If they could cultivate on their property and then put that.

363
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 9: Supply into the California wreck market.

364
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 5: Absolutely yeah, and they would be able to, you know,

365
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 5: work with any of the anyone licensed in California, the retailers,

366
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 5: the manufacturers or anything like that. It wasn't allowed for

367
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 5: California tribes initially, and now that it is being allowed,

368
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 5: you know, I don't think we've been pushing for a

369
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 5: sovereign market, right, So you have like open state markets

370
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 5: and then we have what we're trying to build out,

371
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 5: which is the sovereign cannabis market. So it's a completely

372
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 5: separate market. That means we don't compact, meaning we don't

373
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 5: pay taxes. So if we compact, we're going to have

374
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 5: to pay the state taxes.

375
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: Understood. But if we don't, you've got to create a

376
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: little micro economy within that community. And then as I

377
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: understand it, certain tribes can band together and then create

378
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: a little micro economy.

379
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 2: Kind of simplify that. Again, a big conversation, right, absolutely, No.

380
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question because again pure just

381
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 1: just curiosity. When you look at what happened with the casinos,

382
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: and you know Haris sees there's all of a sudden,

383
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: there's a hairs on a tribal land.

384
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, did they give up a lot?

385
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: Did they sell their souls when you if you could,

386
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: and if it's a completely different context, than tell me

387
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm crazy. But and again I did no background or

388
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: research because we literally met three hours ago and here

389
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: we are. But when I look at what happened to

390
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: the casinos, they lost so much control, they lost so

391
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: much probably revenue because they are the casinos. Know, you

392
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: got here at Temecula, we got Haras Rain con Sea

393
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: like they all seem to dominate these these real markets,

394
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: and then you got your own tertiary markets where you

395
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: get the little boat dunked casinos. But in hindsight, would

396
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: those tribes have kept it in house? And is there

397
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: correlation to the cannabis industry.

398
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 9: Oh my gosh, that's like the best question ever.

399
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 5: And thank you for asking it. I don't believe you

400
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 5: that you didn't do research either. I'm just going to

401
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 5: tell you that right now. But yeah, no, best question ever.

402
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 5: And that's what's really exciting. So gaming was crazy, so

403
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 5: like in the eighties, right, so, stage don't have jurisdiction

404
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 5: over tribal nations. And in nineteen eighty seven, California tried

405
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 5: to intervene on gaming and it went to the Supreme

406
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 5: Court and they lost. And at that point in time,

407
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 5: and it's happened with tobacco as well, so it's like

408
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 5: tobacco and then gaming. The federal government will use the

409
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 5: Commerce Clause to come in and basically they gave authority

410
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 5: two states to regulate. So it was taken from us.

411
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 5: And so I've actually met with like we've spoken with

412
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 5: me and my partner Joe Montoya for the Sovereign Agency.

413
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 5: We've spoken really in depth with about twenty one tribes

414
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 5: throughout the United States. Right now, We've you know got

415
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 5: you know, we've talked a little bit with about fifty

416
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 5: we've gotten about one hundred tribes together at one point

417
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 5: in time, and the conversation is based around this question, right,

418
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 5: So it's like, if you guys, seeing what has happened

419
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 5: with gaming and how that was taken away from you,

420
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 5: would you have you know, fought for your sovereignty if

421
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 5: given the option now? And the answer is always absolutely yes.

422
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 5: And you know, we didn't feel like we were in

423
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 5: a position we wanted, you know, a relationship, a good

424
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 5: relationship between state and government, and so we just didn't

425
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 5: fight for it. So cannabis brings up this new opportunity

426
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 5: for tribes to fight for for sovereignty, and it's cannabis

427
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 5: is a catalyst we can fight for sovereignty.

428
00:20:58,880 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 6: Tea.

429
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 9: I've been having this conversation with.

430
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 5: Multiple tribes throughout the United States, trying to get everyone

431
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 5: on board on the same page and to use cannabis

432
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 5: to actually fight for sovereignty this time and not let

433
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 5: what happened with gaming happen.

434
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: You know, you know, this is one of the reasons

435
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: I there's many reasons, but I really love what I

436
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: do because I love learning new things. And this was

437
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: a completely different vertical that I didn't understand. I suspected it,

438
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: and I kind of have been monitoring it from a

439
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: distance just because of pure sick fascination I have over money.

440
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: But it's enlightening to hear somebody, especially somebody so intrenched

441
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: to you, like you are literally a consultant for these nations.

442
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: Now you're fighting for not just a cause, but to

443
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: really help. And what makes me the statst there's a

444
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: there's a casino. I think I cashed my financial aid

445
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: check at when they had a gambling problem down at

446
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: San Manuel, and I would I would drive through there,

447
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: and I drive through the reservation and I would just

448
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: see these trailer parks and shit. And I'd go to

449
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: the you know, casino and it just people dumping millions

450
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: of dollars. And then I'd see like fifteen houses up

451
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: on the hill. But then I'd see the shitty reservation

452
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: and I'm like, dude, like where does it not? Is

453
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: this not trickle down economics? Or like where did this

454
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: go wrong? And it would it would be really sad

455
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 1: if they followed that same business model. And I think

456
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: your voice needs to be heard, and hopefully somebody can

457
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: take this content and run with it, because I don't

458
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: think most people know this, that right now all these

459
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: tribes are about to fall into these same pitfalls as they.

460
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 5: Do witham Yeah, and I think you know, but but

461
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 5: there's hope in it more than gaming.

462
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 6: Right.

463
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 5: So when you look at gaming, I'm always like, you know,

464
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 5: I have a very deep connection with the plant. You know,

465
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 5: I've been a cultivator for seventeen years. I have, like

466
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 5: I would call it a very spiritual connection.

467
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 2: With blackjack and poker.

468
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 9: But you know what I'm saying.

469
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 5: So it's like gaming or it's like, you know, this

470
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 5: amazing like plant medicine that comes from And then also,

471
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 5: you know, I'll talk to tribal nations and you know,

472
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 5: have like a community meeting where some of them have

473
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 5: never even talked about cannabis at all, right, and you know,

474
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 5: you know, you can see the fear initially and they're

475
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 5: kind of like, I don't know, and then you start

476
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 5: to talk about it, they get more comfortable, and within

477
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 5: thirty minutes it goes from cannabis to regenerative food agriculture.

478
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 5: Well why don't we, man, we have these thousands of acres,

479
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 5: you know, why don't we do orchards. Why don't we

480
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 5: do you know, all this kind of stuff. So cannabis

481
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 5: is not gaming. Cannabis is this magical, amazing you know

482
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 5: plant that is a teacher and a freaking advocate and

483
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 5: it just you know, you can watch it trickle down,

484
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 5: and I think for that reason, it will it will

485
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 5: change history. It will change you know, the game, the

486
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 5: entire everything for tribal nations right now.

487
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're going to.

488
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 1: Play a big part of that. And if anything we

489
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: could do, I can do, I'd love to help support that.

Speaker 1: she's got a media team that had to clear this

528
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: song with Now I've just teasing her. Guys. No, of course, Look, Amanda,

529
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: I appreciate you coming on. I know this was not

530
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: an easy task for you. How has it been so far?

531
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: Are you enjoying your time?

532
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 6: Pretty? Painless?

533
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? Painless? Well that's what I strive for. Painless. Maybe

534
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: that's why I'm single. Daniel, Hey, how was our at eight?

535
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: It was painless? But I'll joke and aside. You know, again,

536
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: meeting those students today, it was really inspiring for me. Again,

537
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: it kind of made me kind of take a second

538
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: look about what I'm doing with.

539
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 2: My life and paying it forward.

540
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: And I loved how you've even inspired these kids to

541
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: have the verbision vernacular in them to say we're going

542
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: to leave here. And you know, they didn't say I

543
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: want to go home and make a billion dollars, I'm

544
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: going to do this. They said, we want to go

545
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: pour it back into our families, and we want to

546
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: go change other people's lives. A lot of them had

547
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: friends and family that have been incarcerated unjustly for a plant,

548
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: quite frankly, right, And so it was really cool to

549
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: see that you've not just inspired them, but you've instilled

550
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: his values to carry forward. What is your You know

551
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: we talked about on the previous show, but for people

552
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: that didn't listen to that, there's about what about fifteen

553
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: hundred people that apply to this and only about five

554
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: gets selected? Right, And I gave you a hard time

555
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: about a lot of the other little random things. But

556
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: one of the things that I love is whatever selection

557
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: criteria that you have is on point, because these guys

558
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: were winners. I heard the first group that I was

559
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: in here for when they came on about a year ago,

560
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: equally you know, equally qualified winners, perfect selection. How do

561
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: you select these people out of such a broad range

562
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: of people that you have applied?

563
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, it is a very in depth, long process, which

564
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 7: is tough on all the applicants because they all have

565
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 7: to wait months after applying and go through multiple rounds

566
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 7: of review and kind of have that anxiety of am

567
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 7: I going to get in or am I not going

568
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 7: to get in? But I can't even take credit for

569
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 7: like instilling those values in them because that truly is

570
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 7: like they all came in like that, and that is

571
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 7: part of our selection process because the cohorts have to

572
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 7: be so small because it is a resource intensive and

573
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 7: we want to give them like all the one on

574
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 7: one time that we can. So it's so important that

575
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 7: they are The return on investment for me is that

576
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 7: they're going to go and share that with other people, right,

577
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 7: So in that way we're able to like reach more

578
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 7: people then were capable of in this moment.

579
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 6: So that's a big part of it.

580
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: They're going So Lindsey point blank lied to me when

581
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: she said, you put all the names in a little

582
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: bingo jar just like five, because that's what she told me.

583
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 2: All I'm telling you that's not Its not the way

584
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: we're not I.

585
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 6: Would get months of my life. No, we do. We

586
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 6: do multiple rounds of review.

587
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 7: So initially there's an application and people hit us up

588
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 7: every day like when are they opening?

589
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 6: When are they opening? When are they opening?

590
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 7: That's kind of the most common question that I get,

591
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 7: which I think they're opening next month.

592
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: And you guys, you know, I give her such a

593
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: hard time, but I'm so again humbled by how much

594
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: of your soul heart that you put into this. You're

595
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: not nearly compensated what you should be for what you're doing.

596
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: But you guys, you know what they do for these kids,

597
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: and to summarize them, please correct me, but you know

598
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: that these kids fly out here, they get a two

599
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: month intense education, not just at any campus, but at

600
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: Cookies you campus where you got Burner. Also pouring into that,

601
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: you have other you know, influential people like ourselves, c

602
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: T one on one, Cannabis Talk one on one, Blue,

603
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: Joe Grande, like all these guys that now they have

604
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: access to and instantly they're Rolodex quadruples. Right then you're

605
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: giving them hands on education from grows and dispensary and

606
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: contacts and just community and really building that up and

607
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: and to provide all of that, and they give them housing,

608
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: they give them daily stypend. This is all done to

609
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: give back and it's not for But again me being

610
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: the asshole, money monetize this. My tax dollars paid for

611
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: the ship. They're like, no, no, calm, bunk down. So

612
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: so it's so humbling to see that you guys are

613
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: truly doing that from that standpoint, and I know you

614
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: tell me a little bit about you know, if there's

615
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: some little young lady at home right now that's being

616
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: inspired about just doing what you're doing, what advice would

617
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: you give them? And how did you just dive into

618
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: this world? I know you, I said, you moved down here,

619
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: But what was the inspiration for what was that moment?

620
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 6: Man, that's a tough question.

621
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 7: I think it's been so many moments that have all

622
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 7: kind of built upon each other to just be like, oh,

623
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 7: that's the vision. I was so fortunate that I've worked

624
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 7: with amazing people and humbled like amazing farmers getting to

625
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 7: live out in the woods, and I was really planning

626
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 7: on transitioning out of the industry. I was thinking once

627
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 7: recreation hit, I was, you know, going to go to

628
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 7: college at thirty, get my degree.

629
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 2: In sociology psychology.

630
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 6: I did it.

631
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: Inside Joe guys, well, the audience that knows this.

632
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to cuts you off, but you know, we

633
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: always talk about on the show, at least my show

634
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: of I feel like the current system of college as

635
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: a scam. You know that they're giving you this fake

636
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: facade that you're going to leave with a degree and

637
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: you're going to be able to get a great job,

638
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: and most of these kids could have gone to a

639
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: trade school plumbers, technicians or low supply. Not that everyone

640
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: needs that. If you want to be a sign scentist

641
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: or astronaut cool, you need college. But a lot of

642
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: these degrees that they're filling these kids with, you know,

643
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: they don't need. And I love that you've provided that alternative.

644
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: So to your point, it's like when you if this

645
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: had not transpired, your alternative was to kind of go

646
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: back to school.

647
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, well I did go back to school, and I

648
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 7: would spend summer and fall working out in the hills

649
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 7: and Humble, and then in the winter I somehow got

650
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 7: into Penn and so that's where I did my undergrad

651
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,239
Speaker 7: That's State No U Penn. So I didn't know it

652
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 7: was an IVY League until after I got in and

653
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 7: I looked it up on Wikipedia.

654
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 6: But I got in.

655
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: Through like a she so literally humbled I got.

656
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 7: I got in through like a side door program for

657
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 7: non traditional students. That's awesome, but it really opened my

658
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 7: eyes because I had never truly seen wealth before, and

659
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 7: I'd never seen such a huge wealth gap of like

660
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 7: the students that were in my classes, of like Donald

661
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 7: Trump's daughter and Joe Biden's granddaughter were all in like

662
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 7: my class, and then I would go outside and just

663
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 7: like there's so much poverty, just slip that out.

664
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 6: I'm much older than them, but they were in my class.

665
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 6: I was. I was like ten years older than everybody else.

666
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 6: So I really didn't like click with people there. It

667
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 6: was like it was very strange.

668
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 7: Just literally coming out of the woods and Humboldt to

669
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 7: go anywhere is a big culture shock, but coming out

670
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 7: of the woods and going to Penn was like wild

671
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 7: And I was working so hard on the weekends. It

672
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 7: just had all my pot money saved up and just

673
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,719
Speaker 7: trying to like I was living in terrible places, just

674
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 7: trying to.

675
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: Like make it work living in the woods. You've used

676
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: that expression a few times. What does that mean?

677
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 7: Like you ask, like you would need to drive like

678
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 7: twenty minutes, Like Lindsay knows all about this.

679
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 6: This is the humble thing.

680
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: You know.

681
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 7: You got to drive out dirt roads for a very

682
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,719
Speaker 7: long time, no cell service, multiple locked gates, like if

683
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 7: people find you out there, you're not supposed to be there.

684
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 6: There's going to be a problem some situation.

685
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 7: So you know, we've spent a lot of our life

686
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 7: like deep out there and it's.

687
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: Beautiful, and that's living in the woods.

688
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's truly living. You know.

689
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 7: I've definitely worked in situations where it's like, if you

690
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 7: need to go to bathroom, you need to go dig

691
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 7: a hole somewhere. Like I've truly put in the time,

692
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 7: I've pulled tarps, done it all. So going from there

693
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 7: to going to pen it's quite strange. It's so strange

694
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 7: juxtaposition of worlds. But that that stress that I felt

695
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 7: trying to pay for school and just seeing people that

696
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 7: had it so easy was part of this whole reason

697
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 7: of like, Okay, who can leave their life for two

698
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 7: months to just go focus on learning?

699
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 6: And it's not very many people.

700
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 7: So we just wanted to take that out of the

701
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 7: equation of just like if you can make it over

702
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 7: you know, fifteen hundred other people to be one of

703
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 7: the five that gets to come here, Like we don't

704
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 7: want you to have to worry about bills at home, like,

705
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 7: because a lot of people would not be able to

706
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 7: come if they still had to like pay their rent,

707
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 7: pay their you know whatever they've got going on at

708
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 7: home without being employed for those two months. So there's

709
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 7: lots of little moments in my life that have contributed

710
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 7: to why the program is set up the way it is,

711
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 7: and it comes from lived experience and just seeing like

712
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 7: what the need is in the industry. There's not plant

713
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 7: touching education, Like where can you go and actually like

714
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 7: go get your hands in the dirt, learn how to

715
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 7: grow like from wonderful accepting people who aren't like gatekeeping

716
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 7: the knowledge.

717
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 6: They're just you know, like lindsay, just.

718
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 7: Like let me teach you about all my mistakes and

719
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 7: everything that I've like have been wins for me.

720
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 6: So you can go out there and like actually succeed.

721
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'm going to share something with you

722
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: guys because we've had some in depth conversations and I

723
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: have a feeling we're going to have some more. And

724
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 1: I do feel, like Joe said, there's a higher power

725
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: at calling when when it brings good people together that

726
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: are like minded, that can share values and opinions. I

727
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: love what you guys are doing, you know, with Master

728
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: Mentors Live, which is obviously a platform that we are

729
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: doing on the Kennick's Education, but it's truly we're running

730
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: it as a college. It's a pay to play, you know,

731
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: there's a free meum model when they come in. But

732
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: if they're truly dedicated to get in their education, they're

733
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,959
Speaker 1: paying and our knockoff rate, I would say about twenty

734
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: percent of them rives to the top, and then we

735
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: get that five or ten that become those elite dispensary owners,

736
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: brand owners, et cetera, et cetera. I'm really excited about

737
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: tapping into your graduating class and I would love to

738
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,439
Speaker 1: support you, know, seeing how this freemium model works right

739
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: where we're literally giving them away and paying for them

740
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: a daily step and to be there, which is a

741
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: great model if it works our model. Also again, if

742
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: their attrition rate is eighty percent, if this is less

743
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: or more, then we can actually, like to me, there

744
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: is no right answer, right, but I love the fact

745
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: that you guys are ever and I can already tell you,

746
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: no matter what anybody says, the people that I met today,

747
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: you've changed their lives. You've impacted our lives. They shattered

748
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: you guys here from stage. They love their instruction, they

749
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: love the mentorship. It's not just what they've retained, but

750
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: it's already I could tell in their vocabulary. You know,

751
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: it's very empowerment. Going again going back home and wanting

752
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: to kind of share these with others. One of the

753
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: young ladies had, you know, a death in their family,

754
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 1: but yet she still sucked it up, came on the show.

755
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: We even said, look, it's okay, you know, we've got

756
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 1: enough guests to fill on and she said, no, I

757
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: you know, I owe it to my instructors and to

758
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: my people to kind of do this. So there's so

759
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: many different ways of a path to an end. And

760
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: I think you the work that you've put into doing

761
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: what's done. You know, I've done education models and masterminds.

762
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: It's it's blood, sweat, tears, you know, And you are

763
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: definitely somebody that's that's just put your heart and soul

764
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: into it.

765
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: So I think karma is a bitch, but it's also

766
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 2: a good thing.

767
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: And I think you've got a world of karma coming

768
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,720
Speaker 1: back to you for what you've already, the lives you've changed.

769
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: And I can't wait to hopefully collab with you guys,

770
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: and partner up with you guys and really build this

771
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: thing into something even bigger, because I think we're only

772
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: at the ground flour and I think as much as

773
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: we being isolated here in California, think like, oh, we're

774
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: twenty years in. You know, when I spoke in Cleveland,

775
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, we're getting WEAD or Texas. You know,

776
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, we got CBDTC zero point one percent.

777
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: They're excited about that, you know. And then you really think,

778
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: like and then there's parts of the world like Idaho

779
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: they're like, you know, you can't even bring it out

780
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: of OPM.

781
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 5: Well, and then there's tribal nations, right, so that's like

782
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 5: a whole different thing. And it's been so crazy too,

783
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 5: because so with tribal nations, they have the ability to

784
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 5: shape their own regulatory structure to kind of like shape

785
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 5: what it looks like nationally.

786
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 9: But they can't do that without education.

787
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: They with you though, So yeah, so I need to

788
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: lead lead that charge. You know. Uh, it's a male

789
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 1: dominated industry, both cannabis, gaming, even tribal nations, right, the tribe.

790
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: It's never the chairwoman, it's the chairman. Yeah, perfectly right, right.

791
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 9: A couple more standing rock spirit Like.

792
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about.

793
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: But you know, like like I think ladies like you

00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: just stand up, grab the mic say fuck it, you know,

795
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: like just what you did today, Like this was not

796
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 1: you broke through your comfort zone. She's already broke through

797
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: her zone years ago, but I could already tell, like,

798
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for her today, you're going to do

799
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: it for another lady down the line. And this has

800
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: got to be a domino effect that we keep building

801
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: up on this, and you guys can really shape people,

802
