Speaker 3: Khan is a fucking industry staple.

95
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 4: It's been all around the country for that matter. But

96
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 4: you said you were born in California. Let's learn a

97
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 4: little bit about Nick s Mart before we get into Canacon.

98
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: Where are you from? Where'd you grow up? Brother?

99
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 5: Well, my dad did trade shows my whole life, and

100
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 5: so by the time we were here, we started traveling

101
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 5: over the country.

102
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: Mister Smart, my dad's Bob Smart.

103
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 5: He was. If you know who Calspas is, he was

104
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 5: a Calspas show manager for most of my early life.

105
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 5: I grew up with Cali though, lived there for like

106
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 5: thirteen years. Then we moved to the East Coast for

107
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 5: a while and then ended up in Washington. I think

108
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 5: my freshman year in high school something like that. And

109
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 5: I've really been here ever since.

110
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: We're about I haven't left.

111
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 5: This fucking place. But I'm still here me too.

117
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: Oh okay that you couldn't even fly out here real quick?

118
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: I mean, just jump on one of your privates, that's

119
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: all good. Hey, So, so Nick, did you guys?

120
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 3: Is your dad is your dad like l a trade

121
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: show Long Beach, Anaheim, San Diego, Northern Cali or just

122
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: in Nord count.

123
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 5: Is you're saying our trade show or what my dad did.

124
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 5: What your dad did. No, he traveled all around the

125
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 5: country for probably eleven months a year doing trade shows.

126
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 5: And I think like in two thousand and one is

127
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 5: when we decided to do a trade show like we

128
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 5: did like a home and garden show, nothing like Canacon.

129
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 5: But I was trying to remember. I think that was

130
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 5: right around the time that we tried it for the

131
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: first time, like ourselves, like putting on a trade show.

132
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 5: And it was funny. I was talking to my guys

133
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 5: the other day about it, and you know, now you

134
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 5: just get a credit card, you run it through Square.

135
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 5: But fuck back then you had to wait for a

136
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 5: check from everybody, right. I mean, it was a lot

137
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 5: different on how you sold a trade show compared to

138
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 5: how you do it today.

139
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 4: I mean you've watched it, of all, from being a

140
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 4: little kid, like you said, with your dad there as

141
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 4: well both of you guys. I'm seeing how they even

142
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,760

143
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 4: boots with damn near pyrotechnics and the damn day.

00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we.

145
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 5: You know, nick dude, when I was nine, like they

146
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 5: would pay me one hundred bucks a day to clean

00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 5: all the fucking spots because there was like thirty of them, right,

148
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 5: And I just take that money and go waste it

00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: And it was just like my whole stick and right

161
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: in downtown LA.

162
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,559
Speaker 3: We'd be at the docks and I didn't do freight

163
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: but with the teamsters, but I would build the I'd

164
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: be a decorator building the shows. And you know, it

165
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: taught me a lot, man, you know, I could appreciate,

166
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 3: uh the trade show industry.

167
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the best industries in the world.

168
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: You gotta you're working hard. It's no bullshit, and it

169
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: and it pays well.

170
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: It works hard, you know, and it's just you meet

171
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: some really intelligent, you know people, and then you made

172
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: some you know, really intelligent buffoons. But it's a it's

173
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: a great place to be though. I think it's just

174
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 3: an amazing thing. So what what high school did.

175
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: You go to?

176
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 5: I went to Richland High in Richland, Washington, so kind

177
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 5: of the exact opposite of Western Washington. Really hot all

178
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 5: the time, desert, no trees, really one hundred degrees in

179
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 5: the summer, kind of cold in the winter. Not a

180
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 5: lot of people, like a million people on the whole

181
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 5: eastern side of the state. I mean shit, there's like

182
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 5: what three million people in the Seattle area, so quite

183
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 5: a bit different. But yeah, I grew up in the

184
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 5: eastern Washington for probably ten years, and then for some

185
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 5: reason I moved over to the to the west side

186
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 5: of the state.

187
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: Did you did you play? Did you play?

188
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, I played. I played basketball the way through

189
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 5: high school into college.

190
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: Oh really a college player? Look at you? What position?

191
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 5: Point guard? Blew my knee out my freshman year when

192
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 5: that was it?

193
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: Wow.

194
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 4: You know, there's a lot to say about athletes like that,

195
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: especially if you're a point guard in basketball, because you

196
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 4: got to really lead the team. If you do that

197
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 4: through high school and go into college, that says a

198
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 4: lot about a character in my book, because a lot

199
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 4: of people who don't really understand sports and really understand

200
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 4: especially basketball. The point guard's got to get along with

201
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 4: gam near everybody. You know, you got to feed the

202
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 4: four everybody, right, Yeah, you did, dude, It's got to

203
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 4: you have to have the personality. At my point, I mean,

204
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 4: I played sports my whole life. I've coached sports. I've

205
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 4: just been an athlete, college, semi pro, the whole nine.

206
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 4: And you know, when I look at basketball players, and

207
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 4: that's why I like to know what positions because I can.

208
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: Tell who you are a little bit, you know what

209
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: I mean. And for those who don't know, I like

210
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: to identify that this play semi pro.

211
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 4: I played semi pro football, so I was always a

212
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 4: figure dude. Yeah, and then I played college football. I

213
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 4: played rugby, and I fought professionally as well.

214
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: He's making it up right now, No, not at all, brother, He's.

215
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 5: Definitely the coolest part though, right, Like, that's the craziest

216
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 5: sports me.

217
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 4: Well, rugby to me was really crazy, always was.

218
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: No joke.

219
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 4: But to me, rugby is like you know, soccer football

220
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 4: together with no helmets, no nothing, and then just getting

221
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 4: their banging heads.

222
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: And fighting and getting punched. There's no helmet. So to

223
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: me when I played rugby was like, ooh, this is

224
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: the monster sports. Yeah yeah, I mean break and they

225
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:06,000

Speaker 4: on this year in October the sixth and seventh at

254
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 4: the Midwest Detroit, Michigan. Go on out there, But tell us, Cannakhon,

255
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 4: how'd it start? I mean, I gave a big introduction,

256
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 4: want into it, but you break it down in your terms.

257
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 5: So there's really not seeing more I can say about

258
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 5: what our show is now, right, you said all of

259
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 5: it when you gave that introduction. That was fantastic, but

260
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 5: how it started was way different than that. Right, So

261
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 5: Bob had an idea and the idea was to just

262
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 5: do a cannabis trade show where you could were the

263
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 5: vendors could actually sell shit, right, So I think it

264
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 5: was twenty thirteen. We went to a I really can't

265
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 5: remember the name of the show. It was a really

266
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 5: popular cannabis magazine. They did trade shows back in the

267
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 5: early like twenty tens, maximum yal So they did a

268
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 5: show in Tacoma, right, And so we went to the

269
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 5: show in Tacoma. My dad and I went, and there

270
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 5: was two I still remember this was a long time ago,

271
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 5: but I guess that's potsmokers, right, remembership that happened a

272
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 5: long time ago. The vendors had really nice looking boots, right.

273
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 5: The problem was is that they couldn't sell anything at

274
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 5: that time, like trade show industry didn't allow a lot

275
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 5: because it was so new. It was barely legal for

276
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 5: a year in Washington, only in California and Colorado at

277
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 5: the time wasn't legal anywhere in the country, and so

278
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 5: it was new. But the issue was is that they

279
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 5: couldn't sell anything, and so it was almost I don't

280
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 5: want to say it was useless to do a trade show,

281
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 5: but kind of what's the point if you can't get

282
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 5: your product out there, right. So our first idea was

283
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 5: we grabbed a business card from every single person at

284
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 5: that show, and I stole a guy from a company

285
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 5: I was working with that I was still in timeshare,

286
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 5: brought him into my dad's basement, and for a year

287
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 5: we just cold called every single one of those cards,

288
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 5: every cannabis magazine that was at, anyone that advertised, and

289
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 5: I mean no website. We had this big paper map

290
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 5: on our ball and I mean that was it, dude.

291
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 5: We sold. I don't remember how many boosts. We didn't

292
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 5: even charge anyone to get into the first show. We

293
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 5: also did it at the Tacoma Dome sometime early twenty fourteen,

294
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 5: and then it's been twenty five plus shows since then.

295
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 3: Wow, how many let me ask you this, like, how

296
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: many vendors was that that first show.

297
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 5: I want to say it was probably around one hundred

298
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 5: and twenty five or so. And then the next year

299
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 5: it doubled, and then we tried to venture out to places,

300
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 5: and at first we weren't really good at it. We

301
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 5: were really good at doing the show in Seattle, but

302
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 5: the markets were so new or so different, it was

303
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 5: hard to figure out the new markets to go to

304
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 5: as any company would struggle early on trying to do that,

305
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 5: and then we started figuring it out. And then we

306
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 5: really started to figure out how to market it, how

307
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 5: to make it fun, how to try to be a

308
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 5: little different than everybody else. And then as more states

309
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 5: started to at least legalize medically, it made it a

310
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 5: lot easier to go to those states, and it seemed

311
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 5: like we were first at a lot of places, and

312
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 5: that really helped us. And now where we found a

313
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 5: new market you know next year that we're finally going

314
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 5: to go to which is a brand new market that

315
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 5: we haven't been to. Uh, And we had a new

316
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 5: market this year in Albuquerque that we've never been to.

317
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 5: So that's pretty exciting. You know. It's really interesting how

318
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 5: things have changed through time too. Right, if you look

319
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 5: at the vendors in the past compared to the vendors now,

320
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 5: it's it's quite a bit different.

321
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 3: So so tell me what kind of vendors are are

322
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: we looking at? You know, when when you come to

323
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 3: the canon Con, I mean it's just going to be

324
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 3: you know, all business to business. Uh, you know, uh,

325
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: what kind of operators are we looking at? You know,

326
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: nutrient companies it's mostly.

327
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, in the intro, you described every single type of

328
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 5: vendor that's that's essentially going to be there. Sure, what

329
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 5: I kind of meant by by the difference between ten,

330
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 5: you know, ten eleven years ago, is that you see

331
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 5: a lot larger companies at Canacon now, like multi billion

332
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 5: dollar companies where cannabis is just a really small part

333
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 5: of what they do, Whereas back in the day it

334
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 5: was much smaller companies and that's all they did. And

335
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 5: then as time goes on, those companies get absorbed by

336
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 5: bigger companies, and then you kind of see the the

337
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 5: evolution of you know, cannabis being legal for damn near

338
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 5: fifteen years now, at least in Washington.

339
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: Sure, you know, I I I actually like that.

340
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: I like hearing that, you know, because you know, one

341
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 3: of the things that I feel that a lot of

342
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 3: people don't realize is that cannabis is going to it

343
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 3: touches a lot of vertical industries, you know, it doesn't

344
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 3: just you know, have to be the flower of the

345
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: plant that this that that there's just so many different industries,

346
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: and I think a lot of people miss that, you know,

347
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: for the you know, the growth of it. Their mind

348
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 3: hasn't expanded, you know, like an accountant needs to be

349
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 3: in annabis industry, insurance needs to be in the cannabis industry.

350
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 3: But you know, all people think about is smoking pod

351
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 3: or you know that those are the very un un

352
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: uh you know, informed people. But but as we start

353
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 3: to you know, grow, and and more people start to

354
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: identify what's happening, I think you're right you to get

355
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 3: you know, they're scientists, there's there's doctors, there's there's professional athletes,

356
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 3: and there's massive, massive companies that that will be entering

357
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: into this space and our our you know, I certainly

358
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 3: believe looking into it. So watching that growth, you know,

359
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 3: when you guys started this, you know you're talking how

360
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: many years now?

361
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: Again, what was.

362
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 5: It eleven years ago?

363
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

364
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 3: I love that we're fourteen years old and and and

365
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 3: I I don't know very many people.

366
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: That are as old as us, you know, and none

367
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: of that.

368
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 5: Name that's so old. Fourteen is ancient in the cannabis space, right, Yeah,

369
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 5: I think around like fourteen thirteen.

370
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 3: Years ago, we were right before mjbiscont Right, Yeah, that's amazing.

386
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 4: guys just giggle about some of them. I mean, I

387
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 4: think it's gotta be funny sometimes, but then like the

388
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 4: ones you want to really go get your like, geez,

389
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 4: we really got to try and go get some of these.

390
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 4: But I mean, who is this joke bronde character that

391
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 4: wants to be That's got to be fun for you guys.

392
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 5: Nick, you know, I think the funnest part is when

393
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 5: you get a speaker and then you I mean, shit,

394
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 5: I haven't been to a shown so long. I stay

395
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 5: home and take care of the kids, and my whole

396
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 5: team goes. But I think my funnest part when I

397
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 5: went to shows and I would always try to listen

398
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 5: to as many speakers as I could, was someone that

399
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 5: really got me to change my perspective on the industry. Right,

400
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 5: And then I think our my favorite speaker for sure,

401
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 5: moving on, moving onto this is and I think the

402
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 5: biggest seminars that we've had in the last two years

403
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 5: have definitely been the Pop Brothers of Law Right, and

404
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure they're speaking Friday at one. Go see them.

405
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 5: They're hilarious. They teach the etiquette of dealing with law enforcement.

406
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 5: They're going to teach you to just shut the fuck

407
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 5: up and give you great legal advice when if you're

408
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 5: getting pulled over, if you're getting rated. And I think

409
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 5: the other cool speaker for Friday, I think he speaks

410
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 5: Friday at four. Senator Bradford. I know there's a lot

411
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 5: of taxation issues with cannabis companies in California and he's

412
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 5: going to talk about the legislation that he's trying to

413
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 5: write to at least make it easier to navigate the

414
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 5: seemingly very perplexed taxing issues with with having a cannabis

415
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 5: business in California.

416
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 4: Sure, and then on Saturday, what do you got to

417
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 4: give us a peak of Saturday?

418
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 5: You know what, I don't have a peak of Saturday.

419
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: We think, Yeah, way to threw that up.

420
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 5: No, I think. I think though that the two most important,

421
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 5: at least for Friday, is that. But what's really great

422
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 5: is you can just go to canacon dot org. You

423
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 5: can go to Long Beach. You click on that, and

424
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 5: you click on the seminars and it will literally give

425
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 5: you every single seminar from Friday at ten to five,

426
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 5: exactly the same on Saturday. And you can actually go

427
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 5: and register to make sure that you get a seat,

428
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 5: because some of them will be full and they will

429
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 5: be standing remotely.

430
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: I agree.

431
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 4: Going to the seminars and listening to the speakers, and

432
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 4: not only that, hearing testimonials from like patients who have

433
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 4: gone through so much, those are some of the most

434
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 4: touching things I've ever heard. The been a part of

435
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 4: where it just really looks at you go. You know,

436
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 4: it just reminds you of what cannabis really is, especially

437
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 4: when you hear the testimonials like Mark and Craig I

438
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 4: love the death. Matter of fact, Mark's birthday was yesterday.

439
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 4: Happy belated birthday, Mark Wasserman, Happy birthday to you, brother.

440
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 4: But like that's good education on how and knowing your

441
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 4: rights and how to use your rights and at what

442
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 4: step to use them the proper way.

443
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: So that's great information there.

444
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 4: But to me, Nick, there's nothing better than when you

445
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 4: hear these testimonials, especially from like the scientists and the

446
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 4: research that they're doing and what they found and what

447
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 4: they're still looking for. I remember hearing even at one

448
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 4: point how this plant is still now till this day,

449
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 4: it's still.

450
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: Infinite of what it can do.

451
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 4: I mean, we do not know the levels that this

452
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 4: plant can get of us, still till this day, with

453
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 4: all the scientists that are looking at it from all

454
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 4: the different countries, Israel leading the pack, and it's still

455
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 4: not enough information that they can find out.

456
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: And it's like, wow, we're just finding out a new CBG,

457
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: CBD CBBB and it's just great.

458
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 4: So folks, I highly encourage you to go out there

459
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 4: to Canacon out there in Long Beach is the next one.

460
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 4: We're going to take a break real quick, come back

461
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 4: and talk about some of these other ones that they are.

462
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 4: But I want you guys to be aware of outside solicitors.

463
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 4: Now there's a number of non authorized groups who are

464
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 4: targeting exhibitors with phony offers for hotel rooms, attendees and

465
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 4: exhibitor lists for travel offers to offers. Please be aware

466
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 4: of that that Canacon is not always the ones doing that.

467
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 4: Make sure you're talking to a legal representative from Cannacan.

468
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 4: So go to accommodation page at Canacon and make sure

469
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,280

505
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 4: this year in October the sixth and seventh in Detroit, Michigan.

506
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: You guys are doing this all across the country.

507
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 4: Is this your first time going to the Huntington Place

508
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 4: on one Washington Boulevard in Detroit, Michigan.

509
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 5: No, I think it's our fourth fifth year. Detroit for

510
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 5: sure our biggest show. It's the biggest market that other

511
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 5: than California. But California is such a spread out market.

512
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 5: I would say that Detroit's the biggest legal market that

513
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 5: we consistently go to. It's consistently our biggest show, consistently

514
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 5: has the biggest turnout. People in Detroit are fantastic, my

515
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 5: favorite place to go. I always have a ton of

516
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 5: fun when we go to Detroit. Yeah, dude, Detroit's great,

517
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 5: don't don't? Yeah? I mean, what's scary?

518
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 4: What's the real difference in Like? Is it just more packed?

519
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 4: Is it the energy? Because maybe, in my opinion, too,

520
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 4: just randomly thinking California has been legal longer and everybody's

521
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 4: kind of the California snob fucking cannabis, like, oh, we

522
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 4: got this brand and we've been around with the black

523
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 4: market forever, where like I would think Detroit is like,

524
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 4: do we just come out.

525
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they've been in black marketing.

526
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, they've got I believe, the second most amount of

527
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 5: medical patients in the country. Uh, they just sold three

528
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 5: hundred million dollars with the weed last month, the whole

529
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 5: state obviously. And then just like when you go there.

530
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 5: I remember the first year we went there and you're

531
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 5: we were walking down this uh this like boardwalk on

532
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 5: the on the river to get to the convention center

533
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 5: from our hotel. You would literally just get high fives

534
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 5: from random people walking down that.

535
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's cool. That's the way it's supposed to be.

536
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 4: That's the way it should be at all things.

537
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I agree that, dude. How you doing.

538
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: We're all here, we all spent money to be here,

539
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: like you know, and we're happy to learn.

540
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 5: And there there's this thing called the people Mover where

541
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 5: you can get on this train and it just takes you.

542
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 5: It's like a tru I don't know how to describe

543
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 5: it. It just takes you around the city right on like

544
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 5: this rail thing, and we just like met these random

545
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 5: people and they spent basically the whole night with them

546
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 5: and was super fun, super cool. Took us to some

547
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 5: cool places. You definitely don't get that in every city

548
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 5: that you go to, but you get that, like every

549
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 5: time you go to Detroit. It just it's a fun place.

550
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 4: Well that's Detroit this year, and let's move on to

551
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four. Early in April the fifth and sixth,

552
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 4: you guys are going to one of these markets that

553
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 4: just popping. Some may say over popping in Oklahoma. I mean, Okase,

554
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 4: you're going to be out there in April. Is this

555
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 4: the first time for Oklahoma?

556
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 5: Sixth?

557
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: Wow? Sixth already starteen?

558
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 5: It was a massive Oklahoma used to be gigantic, especially

559
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 5: when it first happened, because it was literally the hottest

560
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 5: market in the country. And as things stay medical and

561
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 5: they don't progress to legalization, sometimes the market can not

562
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 5: be as great as it was, and you kind of

563
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 5: see that in Oklahoma. Now. It's still a really good show.

564
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 5: It's still one of our best shows. I would say

565
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 5: that people there are as nice as you could ever meet,

566
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 5: and it's exactly like you would think of somebody from

567
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 5: the Midwest. Be kind, polite, yes, ma'am, Yes, sir. Super

568
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 5: cool about standing in a line for an hour to

569
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 5: get into the show. No one complains, Everyone has a

570
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 5: good time. The after parties are always fun. The exhibitors

571
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 5: seem to always do really well in Oklahoma. And yeah,

572
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 5: it's been a staple at PNICON for a long time.

573
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: And how about New Mexico. Any plans to go to

574
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: New Mexico?

575
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 5: So we went this year. It was a big show.

576
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 5: I think it's the biggest show that's ever been in

577
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 5: New Mexico, but probably over fifty booths. We had almost

578
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 5: two hundred exhibitors. We would have had more, but we

579
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 5: had literally no more exhibit space. Wow, we had a

580
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 5: ton of people show up. We're going back in May

581
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 5: of next year, and then we have our new market,

582
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 5: I believe in Saint Paul in August.

583
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: Right, well, and they are going to be doing different.

584
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: You guys are going to Albuquerque, New Mexican. May we

585
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: have Albuquerque, Yeah, exactly. So that's all about in twenty

586
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: twenty four.

587
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 4: So they're going to New Mexico again, which is good

588
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 4: that you brought that up.

589
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: In Saint Paul. Where is that in Florida? St? Paul, Minnesota?

590
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 4: In Minneapolis, minneapolish And that's August.

591
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: Sixteen in Minnesota.

592
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, the brand new cannabis market. So they signed it

593
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 5: in May. Going to be about fourteen months until they

594
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 5: start licensing people, and so that puts it at middle

595
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 5: of June to to start at July, and so that

596
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 5: gives about two months for people to at least get started,

597
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 5: which is what we feel is a perfect time to

598
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 5: get there. And so you get you know, the exhibitors

599
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 5: that get to meet these people meet them early, they

600
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 5: get to make these contacts with them early, and so

601
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 5: you know, once they go back next year, it becomes

602
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 5: a lot easier for them to continue with the those contacts.

603
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 5: And then people know people they tell their friends, Hey,

604
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 5: go see them at Canacoon. They go see them. They

605
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 5: make more sales. Uh. And so with that being a

606
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 5: new legal market where it really has been a stifled

607
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 5: medical market, it's projected to make a ton of money there.

608
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 5: And there's a lot of people, right, like six million

609
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 5: fricking people in those two cities that are within twenty

610
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 5: minutes of each other, Minnesota and Saint Paul, and I

611
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 5: think Minnesota they'll you know, they do this like list

612
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 5: of cities nicest cities in the country to live, Minnesota's

613
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 5: ranked third.

614
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, that's just the winter sucks there.

615
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 5: I didn't know that either, so but yeah, you know,

616
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 5: so I think that's going to be a great market

617
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 5: for us for years to come.

618
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, you guys are doing nice things in the

619
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 4: next two years that how do you pick these other

620
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 4: states and cities. Are you just pulling out a map

621
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 4: and getting a dart board and saying, Okay, here we go.

622
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: Pah, Well, no.

623
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 5: We have to listen to podcasts, We have to do

624
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 5: our research, we have to we have to know who

625
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,479
Speaker 5: what states are going to go. And then you have

626
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 5: to hope that that everything that people voted on happens.

627
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 5: And and once it does, then you have to make

628
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 5: the decision on if you think it's going to work,

629
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 5: and you know, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it doesn't.

630
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: Jack, have you guys been in New York yet?

631
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, we went. And you know, remember when that

632
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 5: huge fucking COVID spike of twenty twenty one, no one

633
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 5: was out yeah, we went and we went right in

634
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 5: the middle of that, right and projected that.

635
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: But we know that feeling really well, we're in a

636
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: tough man.

637
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 5: New York's a tough market. We would love to go back.

638
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 5: It's so hard to find a space.

639
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: So expensive, everything's expensive. Spaces is so expensive.

640
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 5: Oh my god, it's so expensive to market there. You know,

641
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 5: you can have a million dollars in market in New

642
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 5: York and still not reach eighty percent of the people

643
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 5: in the city.

644
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 3: You know, we we have we It's funny you say

645
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 3: that we have a you know, we launched an education

646
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 3: platform in twenty fifteen as seminars, and I was I

647
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 3: was doing seminars in twenty four different states, and I

648
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 3: mean we would pack the house everywhere we went, and

649
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 3: we crushed it.

650
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: We did amazing.

651
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 3: It's you know, but at the in New York, I mean,

652
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 3: the attendance was just unbelievable. The sales were unbelievable, the students,

653
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 3: you know, retention was unbelievable.

654
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: But the cost of every advertised was unbelievable. Yeah, the

655
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: cost of everyone.

656
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 3: It's like you walk out of there and you're like, well,

657
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 3: we've got some new students, We've got some new people.

658
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: They went through the education platform that did the seminars.

659
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: Butt had a lot more, but.

660
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 3: It cost us a lot more, you know, and it

661
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 3: just it's it's almost like getting them in for free,

662
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 3: just to say you got people in from New York,

663
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 3: you know. It's that It's that uh and and maybe

664
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 3: it's we just got to charge more because we're in

665
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 3: a bigger market, you know. But it's it's a tough

666
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 3: tough place to survive out there, man, So I get.

667
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 5: I mean, we've honestly really thought about going to Syracuse. Yeah,

668
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 5: I'm saying New York City is essentially its own state,

669
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 5: and it's almost impossible to reach everybody. But if you

670
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 5: go up north where there's still six million people, when

671
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 5: Buffalo just built that four billion dollars stadium, obviously the

672
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 5: economy is not terrible, right, So I mean we've thought

673
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 5: about that. But you know, we also are going to

674
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 5: start something a little bit different than what we've done

675
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 5: in the past, and we're going to actually come back

676
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 5: to Washington to do it next Summer's a pretty exciting

677
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 5: new thing. We're going to focus not so it's going

678
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 5: to be more focused on on cultivation in general. All

679
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 5: the way from everything that Canacon has to offer, and

680
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 5: then it's going to be much more. It's going to

681
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 5: be much more consumer based, and it's going to include farming,

682
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 5: it's going to include gardening, it's going to include hemp,

683
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 5: it's going to include CBD. It's it's essentially going to

684
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 5: be like a giant cultivation show.

685
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: Nice. I'm excited and we've never.

686
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 5: Done anything to ever stray away from Canacon. But as

687
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 5: the market changes, you have to change too, and if

688
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 5: you don't change, then you're essentially going to be like

689
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 5: everybody else. And when you're like everyone else and you

690
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 5: don't stand out, you die. It makes it more difficult. Yeah,

691
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 5: you eventually will die, right, So it's it's not a

692
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 5: huge change. But what's really cool about shows like that

693
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 5: is is that you have so many more potential people

694
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 5: that can be exhibitors. And when it's not just business

695
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 5: to business base and it's also consumer based, you have

696
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 5: a potential to have a lot more attendees as well.

697
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 5: And so I think it's gonna be a really fun

698
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 5: new show and if it works, then it'll probably be

699
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 5: more of how will move in the future.

700
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: Oh my Dad, my Buddy Blair just walked in and

701
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: my dog's barking at him. And my dog's racism too.

702
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 4: Blair's a brother and my black dogs every brother that

703
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 4: walks in his building, it's a golden doodle, a little

704
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 4: mini golden doodle.

705
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: He's literally sitting on the show set and Blair, who

706
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: he knows, Blair, come pat him so.

707
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 4: He doesn't bark at you no more. Please just walk

708
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 4: up to the show right now. Teddy loves him, but

709
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 4: like he just starts barking at him. Every day's tails

710
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 4: wagging and it's just funny though. I always say that

711
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 4: to people going, I think my dog's racists. Either your

712
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 4: Mexican or black. He's going to bark at you or

713
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 4: to go crazy at you. How you doing, brother, crop

714
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 4: Kings in the building?

715
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: Uh? Nick?

716
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 4: Before we let you go and do the high five

717
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 4: with you, I got to ask, how did you and

718
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 4: your dad Bob come up with the name? I mean,

719
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 4: I feel like I got a simple answer for it,

720
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 4: But canakhan you guys came up with it?

721
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 1: How did it come about? Sure?

722
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 5: I think it is simple. I think he copied Comic

723
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 5: Con just called you know, I think that was it. Right.

724
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 5: We're in Seattle, comic Con is walking gigantic here one

725
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 5: hundred thousand people, you know, I mean back in the

726
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 5: day anyway, And and yeah, I think it was just uh,

727
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 5: it was. It's too easy. If a name you known

728
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 5: to Bob came up with all this this, I didn't.

729
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 5: I was selling timeshare, dude, and and for a living,

730
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 5: to be honest, in the cannabis or in the medical

731
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 5: uh part of Washington completely legal, but yeah, I was

732
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 5: essentially doing that. And so all I really did at

733
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 5: first was just helped himself boost because I had been

734
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 5: a salesman my whole life basically, and as soon as

735
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 5: I got out of the Army, I went into sales

736
00:36:55,080 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 5: and that's all I ever did. And so yeah, we uh,

737
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 5: I think he Yeah, he definitely came up with all

738
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 5: of that. That's I. I had nothing to do with it.

739
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 4: Pops to your pops, dude, that's dope. Yeah, big os,

Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's why iound a.

773

Speaker 5: Way when I was nine and every like I remember

774
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 5: the funnest people that you would have to go and

776
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,080

00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: And why?

840
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,439
Speaker 5: I think only because he's dead and I don't think.

841
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 5: And I think because he's my sports here, and I

842
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 5: don't think he ever smoked with Kobe Bryant.

843
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: Oh he smoked me before. Man, he's got to do it.

844
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: I really gotta be Kobe.

845
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 3: I Joe Rogan, Joe Rogan, Yeah, you know.

846
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,879
Speaker 5: Just a live guy for sure.

847
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 3: Joe did a like a fifteen minute skit on his

848
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 3: uh on his actual live with me, you know, uh,

849
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 3: and he clowns on me for like fifteen minutes and

850
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 3: I got to go uh backstage with him and hang

851
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 3: out with him, and I try to get him to smoke,

852
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 3: but he wouldn't smoke the weed I had.

853
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: But he was like, yo, we can smoke my weed

854
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: because he doesn't smoke anybody else's, so he won't.

855
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 3: He won't smoke anybody else's weed unless he knows where

856
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 3: he gets it from.

857
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: So just keep well, I mean, you got to.

858
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 5: You gotta admire a guy that that you know, takes

859
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 5: care of his body that well into his fifties. He

860
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 5: looks better than almost any twenty five year old you'll see, right,

861
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 5: So maybe there's something to that.

862
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah definitely.

863
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,200

893
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 5: subscriptions when I was nine years old, and I liked

894
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 5: money so much back then, and I chose the one

895
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 5: hundred bucks instead of going to the Lakers.

896
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:25,800

901
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 4: those guys that's just so magical.

902
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:40,880

00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 4: The movies you see about in the specials, and then

00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 4: I've met him countless times, and I've had him on

906
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 4: shows that I've done for so many I've done a

907
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,600

00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 4: too long ago, I would say, months before he passed.

920
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: Actually, oh yeah, I was literally at the doctor's office.

921
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 5: I was.

922
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 3: I was the last one to take a picture with

Speaker 3: him of us. Yeah, that's facts for sure.

924
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 4: It's just so crazy. Kobe was one of those dudes.

925
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 4: It's funny you mentioned him.

926
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: Just a great guy though.

927
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 4: He was always a solid dude in my book to him, Vanessa,

928
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 4: the whole family. One year I dressed up a Shrek

00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 4: for Halloween. He took a picture with me and his daughter.

930
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 4: And then the next year he goes, you know, your

00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 4: pictures up at my house, right Joe, and I go,

935
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 5: So cool. He was, well, he didn't give a shit

936
