Speaker 4: Big show a company you guys have. How did you

53
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 4: guys first meet to establish this company?

54
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 7: I guess I'll take over here. I was a little

55
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 7: early to the game for social consumption. I was at

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 7: TAO for a few years. My manager knew I was

57
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 7: a huge consumer. He was eventually poached to open Lowell

58
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 7: Cafe and was Hollywood, which is the first consumption lounge

59
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 7: in the country that actually sold food and beverage alongside cannabis.

60
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 6: Set big piece of that.

61
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 4: Well yeah, well yeah, great washing room was kicked out.

62
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 7: Yeah that yeah, So you know, being their firsthand. I

63
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 7: was a floor manager at the time. I learned everything,

64
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 7: I documented everything. I was really big on making sure

65
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 7: that the next group of people did not make these

66
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 7: same mistakes, because they were major mistakes. And so then

67
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 7: I started a hospitality a consulting company of sorts.

68
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 6: I had a different partner. It just really wasn't flowing.

69
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 7: But I did pick up a second client at the time,

70
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 7: which was Green Thumb, so it was an mso it

71
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 7: gave me a lot of credibility. Green Tham Industries out

72
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 7: of Illinois. People get confused all the time that yeah, yes,

73
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 7: so you know, they had this really big dispensary thirty

74
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 7: minutes from the Wisconsin border and it was cranking still

75
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 7: there it's in Mondoline, and they thought, okay, this is

76
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 7: the best place.

77
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 6: About a lounge. We did that.

78
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 7: It was sort of a glorified consumption room, not a

79
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 7: lot of food and beverage like we talked about before.

80
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 7: And it wasn't until I had done those two projects

81
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 7: that kind of put me on the map a little bit.

82
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 7: It's showcase. I knew what I was doing, and luckily

83
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 7: I attracted Malcolm, who is a you know, high level

84
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 7: Michelin star operator who said, Okay, I see what you're

85
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 7: doing here, maybe you need some more help. And so

86
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 7: I had been thinking about partners for a long time

87
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 7: when I found him and all the pieces kind of

88
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 7: came together. He had been working on a few cannabis deals,

89
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 7: like Smaller, so it was like it made the most sense.

90
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 6: And he's been a great partner since then.

91
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 7: And now we are officially a consulting firm, but we

92
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 7: do so much more than that.

93
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 6: We help raise money for license holders.

94
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 7: We help them put concepts, pitch decks together, evaluate their

95
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 7: p and ls. You know, one thing in this industry

96
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 7: is people ask how do these make money? And our

97
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 7: bread and butter is showcasing how these things make money.

98
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 4: Are you guys a couple as well?

99
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 6: No, we're not.

100
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 8: No, No, I love that.

101
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: So it's both single.

102
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 5: I'm married, she has a partner.

103
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 9: It's actually it's something that makes even just keeps it easier,

104
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 9: and also it helps us just truly understand why there's

105
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 9: the pure talent aspect of things that we knowledge, just

106
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 9: real recognizing real as they say.

107
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 4: No, I'd like it.

108
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 3: And then so so you guys created the company. You

109
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: created the.

110
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 7: Company sort of I had another consulting company, but once

111
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 7: we joined for in.

112
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 5: Structure, yes exactly, I was.

113
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 9: I was actually with a I'm from Portland, Ordon. Originally

114
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 9: it was in Mexico consulting for a long time prior

115
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 9: to that, and then.

116
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: Mexico, yes, thanks for cannabis.

117
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 5: Actually for a luxury hospitality.

118
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 9: So once I was back stateside, I actually aligned with

119
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 9: a pretty accomplished cannabis executive in the space, and we

120
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 9: came down to Las Vegas as kind of the epicenter

121
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 9: for where things were taking off cannabis wise, and started

122
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 9: a venture capital there, and we really wanted to focus

123
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 9: our efforts on on premise and social you know, consumption

124
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 9: and integrating hospitality into that. And I more so sought

125
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 9: Sarah out at the end as the foremost the person

126
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 9: who really was so vocal and really understood that it

127
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 9: was about intentionality, about really not having a be retail focused,

128
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 9: not just being cannabis, not just being corporate. It's it's

129
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 9: really like this thoughtful, intentional, hospitality driven thing.

130
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 4: Like I love that glove service.

131
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 5: We we we we're.

132
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 7: Both operators at the end of the day, so we're

133
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 7: focused on pain points more than you know, getting them

134
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 7: up and running, what happens when that happens exact.

135
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: Once it's up and running.

136
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, And our thing is to show people how, you know,

137
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 9: how you make money off these things.

138
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 5: It's not just a fun playing restaurant thing.

139
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 9: And you know, we also know like we don't need

140
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 9: to be a Michelin star restaurant, but there's certain details

141
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 9: and elevated hospitality that we just saw was not being embraced.

142
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: And you know, I'm going to tell you. I'm going

143
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: to tell you a secret. Please please, It's funny that

144
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: you know, timing is is everything right?

145
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 4: Yes?

146
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: And you know we throw a lot of events. I mean,

00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 3: this is our venue.

151
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: We throw probably two events here a month and anywhere

152
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: from one hundred to three hundred and fifty people up

153
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,599

Speaker 2: We did twelve thousand there at the Burning Trees Festival.

157
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 5: But that's awesome.

158
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: But you know here, you know, anywhere from like one

159
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty to three other people. It's pretty often often,

160
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,360

00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 5: It keeps me on my toes home. I brought one home.

Speaker 3: She likes me.

200
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 5: You know, I went down there.

201
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 9: You know there was I won't get into, you know,

202
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 9: political things at the time of when I left, and

203
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 9: the sentiment I was in Chicago about twenty sixteen. I'd

204
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 9: kind of position myself working for some of the best there,

205
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 9: and Rick Bayless and the Boca Restaurant Group, these guys

206
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 9: who've just kind of been consummate professionals, winning awards, and

207
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 9: it was my next kind of you know, crossroad thing

208
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 9: of can I make an impact? Where can I you know,

209
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 9: still kind of keep growing, uh and and kind of

210
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 9: see where I could get in and fit in right,

211
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 9: And so I got offered it.

212
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 5: It was a unicorn sort of thing.

213
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 9: I got offered a deal to consult for a place

214
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 9: called Arca down in Tuloom, right on the hotel zone there.

215
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 5: They've done very well for you know, a pretty significant.

216
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 4: Period of time.

217
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 5: But they had the world's Best restaurant Noma from Copenhagen,

218
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 5: Worlds World's Best you know, these.

219
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 9: Lists are all, you know, such bs, but but there

220
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 9: is a world somebody when your best is something.

221
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 8: So they come down for the world's number one source

222
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 8: for everything.

223
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 5: Exactly just spark notes version. Basically, they came down, they

224
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 5: put up.

225
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 9: This seven hundred dollars a person pop up in the

226
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 9: middle of the jungle for three months, and it actually

227
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 9: ended up kind of micro stimulating the whole kind of

228
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 9: community and gastro you know, gastra gastronomical community around there,

229
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 9: and everyone wanted to kind of keep up with that.

230
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 9: So my goal was I stayed down there to help

231
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 9: these properties who are more in the luxury realm maintain

232
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 9: that momentum. I brought some of the chefs over who

233
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 9: were these fine dining guys from who came down from

234
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 9: Copenhagen to stay and integrate into the community, to help

235
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 9: kind of keep elevating that, you know, that sort of

236
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 9: that live experience that.

237
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 4: Was going on.

238
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 9: And so I stayed down there. I was, you know,

239
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 9: kind of the whole gamut. I did club strants. There's

240
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 9: a place on Gitano which now has outlets in Miami,

241
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 9: in Dubai and New York as well. And then I

242
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 9: went to a hotel, which kind of gave us, you know,

243
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 9: the bug for hotels which we can get down you know,

244
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 9: talk down the line about some of our future projects.

245
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 5: But it was about it, you know.

246
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 9: Interestingly enough, it was started by the founder of Fox Network.

247
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 9: The guy loved entertaining people. Bought it, bought at the

248
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 9: mansion from the Duchess of Ferrari and Italia at her

249
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 9: vacation home in Mexico, converted it to this this beautiful

250
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 9: oscienda place and just wanted to entertain people down there.

251
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 9: So I kind of sunk my teeth into the kind

252
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 9: of the uber you know, three thousand and four thousand

253
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 9: dollars a night sort of hotel place you're talking about,

254
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 9: and just kind of ingrained myself there I got to

255
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 9: see a lot more direct kind of benefit of my

256
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 9: mentoring and kind of passing my knowledge along and seeing

257
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 9: people actually grap a lot, you know to that, and

258
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 9: really being able to see consistency of service standards and

259
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 9: people caring about the guest experience and and and seeing

260
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 9: the value and how that can translate no matter where

261
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 9: we go, whether it's Mexico or going back here.

262
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 4: And that's a different level of uh service, you know,

263
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: when you're talking whole dollars a night and when you're

264
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 4: talking about you. And that's why I wanted to hear that,

265
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 4: because I knew in the intro we said it, but

266
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 4: I wanted to hear firsthand. I felt you can feel

267
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 4: his presence. He's yeah, like you knows what I'm saying.

268
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 5: A quick example, you know, we had Belahadid and and

269
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 5: giselb and can you know all these these sort of

270
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 5: the vogue. It was they needed their tea at seven

271
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 5: thirteen in the morning, and it was seven fourteen, and

272
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 5: they'd be calling, what happened? Why is my tea not here?

273
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: It's trivial to us, but in the end, it's like

274
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 2: it's discipline that's detailed.

275
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 4: No, and it's account. I think it's the way its

276
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 4: supposed to be. I mean about in a way.

277
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 9: There's some things to take away from it where we

278
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 9: understand on our side and Sarah's I for detail, being

279
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 9: in volume with with you know, going on her side

280
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 9: to places like TOW where you're seeing thousands of people

281
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 9: curating a very intimate experience for those sort of folks.

282
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 5: It's it's it's cool to meet in the middle of

283
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 5: the road of the small boutique with how we scale that.

284
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 4: Well, no, yeah, hearing both of that history and that

285
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 4: the Tow didn't go I'm mistaken because Too is one

286
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 4: of the finest places in Las Vegas, let alone New York.

287
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 4: I've been to both locations, one in La oh really yeah,

288
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 4: and Los Angeles, And if you don't know the Tow

289
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 4: family that they're just great. I mean a lot of

290
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 4: my friends have DJ'ed there, so I've been there hundreds

291
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 4: of times. They just curates exactly and it totally is

292
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,160

00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 4: Hearing you guys's history was very intriguing and I really

322
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 4: liked it so that people can listen in myself, can

323
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 4: really understand where you guys come from, rather than just

324
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 4: looking at the website and hearing all these years of experience.

325
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 4: And you know, when you guys deal with both of

326
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: those clients, right, they're both high end clients. When you

327
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 4: go to Vegas, you expect a fucking good time. You

328
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 4: got to have your girls that are working there looking great.

329
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 4: Everyone's got to have fun. We're rocking it, We're doing it.

330
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 4: I don't care about how your boyfriend broke up with

331
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 4: you worry about that at three in the morning when

332
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 4: you're off.

333
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 5: They just want a good experience.

334
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 4: We all have to have a good time. So I

335
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 4: can only imagine how much goes into pumping up the

336
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 4: staff doing what you guys do, encouraging everybody to be

337
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 4: as nice, respectful, polite, because this is what you guys

338
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 4: are dealing with. I mean, it's somewhat common sense in

339
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 4: some aspects, but to the others, you know what I mean,

340
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 4: it's like high end treatment.

341
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 9: It's also you know, it's anticipatory. People want you to anticipate,

342
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 9: especially in markets like Las Vegas, West Hollywood as well.

343
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 9: We've found but people in Las Vegas they want you

344
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 9: to be thinking of what they want before they even

345
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 9: want it, and that.

346
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 4: Over and you come and offer it boom.

347
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 6: And they're trying to do that.

348
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 7: In consumption lounges from the product offerings that we carry

349
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 7: to the experiences themselves. But it's interesting working with retailers

350
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 7: because they're really good at retail. But the retailers have

351
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 7: consumption lounge licenses. So how do you tell people who

352
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 7: know how to build retail stores now you have to

353
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 7: build an experience. It's not as easy as you would think.

354
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 7: And I'm not saying that these licenses are in the

355
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 7: wrong hands. I think that there's just a misunderstanding of

356
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 7: what they're building out.

357
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 6: You know, when you think about building.

358
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 7: A restaurant, do you go to a liquor store and say,

359
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 7: let me build a liquor a restaurant behind this liquor store.

360
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 3: Right never.

361
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 7: But in the consumption lounge world, we're thinking, let me

362
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 7: build a dispensary and let me build a consumption lounge

363
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 7: behind it. And it's like, what if I'm still a newbie,

364
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 7: and if I'm too intimidated to go into a dispensary,

365
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 7: but I'm not too intimidated to go into a very

366
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 7: normalized looking establishment that maybe.

367
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 6: Serves food and beverage as well.

368
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 7: So, you know, trying to convince these people, we haven't

369
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 7: even gotten to some of the operational pieces yet because

370
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 7: we're still trying to navigate the terrain with the costly

371
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 7: you know, we tell people a lot of the times,

372
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 7: in a lot of markets, it costs three million dollars

373
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 7: to build a taco bell exactly.

374
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 6: That's expensive.

375
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 7: So if we're talking about a compliant cannabis venue that

376
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 7: has at least one hundred seats, that's profitable, that has

377
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 7: multiple revenue streams, you know, these aren't cheap. Yeah, So

378
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 7: to retailers, yeah, they're kind of a sticker shocked at

379
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 7: these numbers.

380
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 6: They don't understand.

381
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: Uh.

382
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 6: And then we say, you're trying to.

383
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: Build something that has a real experience that they can

384
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: really have a marketing budget and a team behind it

385
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: and actually win, yes, and have that longevity where you're

386
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 2: not gonna be in a position where you know, hey,

387
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: we're screaming for money. We're looking at each other looking

388
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: at Oh we haven't done this. Well, of course not,

389
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: we don't have the budget for it.

390
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 9: The worst, the worst thing to do is go back

391
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 9: asking with your tail between your legs, asking for more.

392
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, And that happens, unfortunately a lot in the consumption world.

393
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 6: And it's honestly why it's a new.

394
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 4: World too, right, I mean, nobody knows yet, like, oh,

395
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 4: this is a perfect example of what to do well

396
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 4: because there's no imprint for you guys to follow yet.

397
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: If you guys are making.

398
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 8: It the biggest thing, go ahead, Sorry, what's the biggest thing?

399
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 9: Well, the biggest thing is also that we you know,

400
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 9: we don't want to be the people who just tell

401
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 9: people you need.

402
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 5: To just light money on fire, spend spend, spend.

403
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 9: But what we do tell people is that like again

404
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 9: with with piggybacking on what Sarah sing ambot a taco

405
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 9: bell is like this is this is expensive.

406
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 5: You need to if you want to hit this out

407
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 5: of the case the right way you have. It's like

408
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 5: it's like a bullet in the chamber. It's like a

409
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 5: press release.

410
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 9: You have one shot once it's out there, and you've

411
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 9: got to control that narratives as immediate as you can,

412
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 9: and you can't cheapen your product. And so that's the

413
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 9: often struggle we have with with you know, discussing with

414
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 9: people in the beginning, is don't don't cheapify this, Yeah, dude,

415
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 9: to hit this the right way and set that that

416
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 9: be that bell weather, that benchmark.

417
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 2: You know, I I I I can appreciate it because

418
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: I understand it. But sometimes people don't have the ability

419
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: to do it. And they still will succeed, but a

420
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 2: lot of them will will fail, you know. And and

421
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 2: the problem is is because they didn't, you know, prepare

422
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: to fail, right, And it's just like tru you know,

423
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 2: understanding that is easier send than done. I mean, if

424
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: I run myself back and go, hey, fifteen years ago,

425
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: did I think I'd have this facility and be, you know,

426
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 2: cranking out shows five days a week? And you know,

427
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: I'd say yeah, because I knew where I was going.

428
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: But you know, all the people that didn't make it

429
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: with me because they weren't willing to put in this

430
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: effort and the time it wasn't for them, I couldn't

431
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 2: afford them.

432
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 3: All there was, you know, there was all all of

433
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 3: the mistakes that I've made.

434
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: But I think, you know, going into it now when

435
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: I look at you know, consumption, you know, you guys

436
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: are walking into that, you know, and you guys are

437
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 2: young enough to start you know fresh and put fifteen

438
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: years into it, right, so easy, Yeah, it's you know,

439
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 2: what I mean is yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

440
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: But but I think the question to me is, you know,

441
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: how does someone make their money back on this?

442
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 3: Right?

443
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 2: Show me the points where the dinners are a thousand

444
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 2: bucks a dinner and we're going to charge this or

445
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: you know, the free cannabis is going to be this

446
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 2: because you can't sell it if you're no mistaken.

447
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 7: Or you working to We only work on lounges that

448
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 7: sell cannabis, okay, got yeah. We don't do any sponsored

449
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 7: events or anything we're monetizing because the investors in our

450
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 7: network need to see revenue.

451
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 3: Got you, got you?

452
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 2: So you're yeah, So can you show me some of

453
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 2: those points of like you know, hey, walk us through,

454
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: walk me through how I'm going to make this money and.

455
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: How you know.

456
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 7: So, the first thing is there's a you know, I

457
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 7: don't know how much you know about the Vegas market.

458
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 7: They've done a lot of things, right, they've done it.

459
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 7: They've had a few mistakes in their consumption there. Well,

460
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 7: the first thing is they're not allowing any products to

461
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 7: leave a consumption. So that's like a bar now, right,

462
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 7: we're looking at a bar model, which means all products

463
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 7: sold on site have to be single servings. Well, cannabis

464
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 7: is sold in multi serving packs. You know, if we're

465
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,239
Speaker 7: talking about concentrates, if you're hitting like one grammach time,

466
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 7: let's say there's probably ten servings in one gram of

467
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 7: a concentrate. How do we get that in individual servings?

468
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 7: Because it right, well, that's a whole other thing. But

469
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 7: once we have the single servings, our margins are higher, right,

470
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 7: because now we can charge twenty dollars per gram, maybe

471
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 7: we can charge a flight of three different types of

472
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 7: an eighth Now we're not having to try one single

473
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 7: you know product.

474
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 9: And also, you know that that does help us kind

475
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 9: of normalize the experience when we get into that yeah,

476
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 9: you know people you know, for instance, just just briefly,

477
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 9: you know, quickly Oregon where I'm from, I'm from Portland.

478
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 5: You know, we want to try and champion this sort

479
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 5: of vineyard. You know, you're going to the farm, the

480
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 5: experience you're getting a taste of eat, you know, like

481
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 5: a tasting room. Sure, and we want to make sure

482
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 5: we have that experience like you would in a brewery

483
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 5: or like you know where you get.

484
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 4: To you know, we get engaging the whole nine.

485
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 9: We get to have in front of you, the profiles

486
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 9: of what the terpens are, you're tasting in the culinary form,

487
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 9: and like really the educational component going hand in hand

488
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 9: and again that normalization that Sarah and I always always

489
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 9: talk about with them.

490
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 7: You're not making most of your money from cannabis in

491
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 7: exception lounge, it's all food and beverage. And so you know, think, thankfully,

492
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 7: Malcolm here is such a good operator.

493
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 6: He's he knows how to do these things.

494
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 7: But a lot of we talk about a lot a

495
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 7: lot of fakes are in the restaurant industry, and it

496
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 7: makes it even more difficult to prove that cannabis that

497
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 7: restaurants are profitable because a lot of.

498
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 6: Restaurants are not profitable.

499
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 7: They don't have good enough margins their books are.

500
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 6: It's high enough.

501
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, So we've had to really think about how to

502
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 7: find that winning formula between cannabis sales and food and

503
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 7: beverage sales, with food and beverage programming marketing cannabis programming,

504
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 7: Like there's nothing stopping a brand to come in to

505
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 7: do an exclusive brain release in a consumption lounge that's

506
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 7: going to bring so many people around, but it still

507
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 7: has the fundamentals of food and beverage smoothies and coffees

508
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 7: and juices. Like we say that people think that's a

509
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 7: morning time consumer all.

510
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 6: Day exactly, I'm rigging it all day, all night. So

511
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 6: we're throwing those programs into everyone.

512
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 9: The other thing is also with those programs, you know,

513
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 9: for however long we have to deal with the two

514
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 9: adeness madness. You know, there's people have gotten very creative,

515
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 9: I feel like, with with understanding how to to not

516
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 9: manipulate but navigate the gray area, right and that two

517
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 9: E D burden. Once you can embrace the food and

518
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 9: beverage side, it really helps you kind of magnificant mitigate

519
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 9: some of that as well, because then you can push

520
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 9: some of those things over and not have to absorb

521
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 9: and and hit your bottom line on those cogs or

522
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 9: those margins you should be making on some of the

523
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 9: other end of things with cannabis or.

524
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: What should a good restaurant that has, you know, a

525
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 2: capacity of about one hundred people eat profiting in.

526
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 5: A personage a net grows.

527
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, both all of the above consumption.

528
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: I think if it's for me, I'm asking for my

529
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 2: own self because you know the way I look at it,

530
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: you know, and I was more in like a speakeasy model. Sure,

531
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: you know where it's just like everybody pays a monthly.

532
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 2: You know, they're paying three hundred bucks on a membership model, yeah,

533
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty bucks a month, or two hundred

534
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 2: bucks a month, or five hundred bucks a month or

535
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 2: three thousand dollars a month or whatever the different levels are.

536
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,719
Speaker 2: And then you know they can come use the conference

537
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: rooms if they want to during the week, or they

538
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 2: can come out and use the back patio to smoke cannabis.

539
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 2: But it's to speak easy, so that would it wouldn't

540
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 2: be like where we sell weed here, but we would

541
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: actually have really high end dinners with like, you know,

542
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 2: a bunch of celebrity friends of ours and stuff like that,

543
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 2: and then let them come once a month or whatever

544
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 2: to have a nice dinner.

545
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 7: So we actually encourage those kind of experiences because we

546
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 7: don't offer them much in consumption lounges. And here's why,

547
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 7: you know, I was managing Lowell Cafe for quite some

548
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 7: time as it opens. We saw about five to seven

549
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 7: pass outs a week and almost oh yes.

550
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 6: And most of that came from edibles.

551
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 7: So in consumption lounges, when you're turning tables, we don't

552
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 7: allow edible consumption.

553
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 6: We only allow drop.

554
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 5: Like we won't get into deals, but people you know.

555
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 3: Like seriously pass out.

556
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 6: Yes, So what do you do.

557
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 3: I watched it happen before, some dudes walking up. He's like,

558
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 3: what's up? Boom Exactly.

559
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 6: It happens more than you think.

560
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 7: So food and beverage is an is an over consumption

561
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 7: prevention for us. It's not just a good thing to

562
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 7: have on site.

563
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 6: We absolutely critically need food and beverage.

564
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 5: Acid.

565
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of over levels, sugar levels, oxygen

566
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: undo or big.

567
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 9: We love undoing what they do and and uh and

568
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 9: and provide for.

569
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 3: You guys, no one do.

570
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

571
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 7: But the beverages, that is the edibles for us now,

572
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 7: so we have low dose beverage programs that everything looks

573
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 7: like a cock but it's cannabis and there are no

574
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 7: edibles on site. So the fact that there are still

575
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 7: going to be these private parties and things that are

576
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 7: doing the infused dinners, we encourage that. We just don't

577
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 7: encourage them on consumption venues because you're turning tables every

578
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 7: ninety minutes. You don't have time for the edibles to

579
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 7: finally kick in and then you get in your car, right,

580
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 7: And that's what the event spaces are going to be

581
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 7: best used for, I believe, is especially doing those infused dinners,

582
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 7: because you know, when people come into a consumption lounge,

583
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 7: they're like, look at me physically smoking in public for

584
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 7: the first time.

585
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 6: Everybody look at me.

586
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 7: You know, they want to be seen, and it's sort

587
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 7: of like that taboo of like, oh my gosh, I'm

588
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 7: smoking weed in a restaurant. Exact, you don't get that

589
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 7: same notable feeling with like vapes or edibles. Sure people

590
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 7: are coming there to dab, to smoke joints, to you know,

591
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 7: hit experience like.

592
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 4: You just said that outside smoking in a restaurant.

593
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 5: Exactly know that you want, you want to be seen.

594
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 5: It's like the end of provision. It's like, yeah, yeah,

595
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 5: I'm free, I can do them.

596
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 4: Yeah yes, why not? So by doing the things that

597
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 4: you mentioned, that's at a venue, that's a lounge, that

598
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 4: can make me profitable if I have a lounge.

599
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 6: So yeah, there's one other piece to this.

600
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 7: We've been working as operators, you know, we've found some

601
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 7: pain points. The first three are when you go into

602
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 7: a consumption lounge, you are tipping twice, you're paying twice,

603
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 7: and you are taxed twice because you're paying for cannabis

604
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 7: and food separately at all times. Now, you can't consume

605
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 7: cannabis before purchasing it, so you're always going to be

606
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 7: spending the most money of your visit as soon as

607
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 7: you sit down.

608
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 6: That's not great for a server who wants that tip.

609
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 7: So automatically, they're not retaining employees as effectively as we

610
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 7: thought they were because they're coming from a towel they're

611
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 7: making three four hundred dollars a night. Now they're making

612
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 7: one hundred if they're lucky. So that was a huge

613
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 7: problem for us. Aside from that, the customer experience. Sometimes

614
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 7: the customer is high, they forget they have another check open,

615
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 7: and they get to get up and leave and we're like,

616
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 7: hold on, you still have to pay.

617
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, yes, chasing.

618
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

619
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 6: Yeah. So we've been working.

620
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 7: We have a partner with Salesforce. It's not Salesforce directly,

621
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 7: it's a Salesforce partner. They've been building out a metric

622
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 7: compliant point of sale for us. It is going to

623
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 7: be specifically for cannabis lounges. No, it's called Cannabis Cloud,

624
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 7: and they're going to be putting cannabis and food on

625
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 7: the same check for us compliantly. It's very difficult process.

626
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 7: But because cannabis is running two businesses on the back end,

627
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 7: Salesforce is basically separating those.

628
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: Cannabis is running two businesses and the and the food

629
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 2: company as well.

630
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 6: Well that's what I mean.

631
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 7: The two businesses is one is food and one is cannabis.

632
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 9: And that's a lot of I mean, you know, when

633
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 9: we talk about we're obviously we operations management. That's a

634
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 9: big part of our core, our core offering and what

635
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 9: we do, but we also are looking at all the

636
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 9: you know, kind of zooming out the micro and the

637
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 9: macro of the problems that we want to solve, whether

638
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 9: it's a POS solution or you know, remember Sarah and

639
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 9: I talk about this all the time. We want the

640
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 9: guest experience to be the least clunky, which is not

641
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 9: necessarily how it goes in these lounges.

642
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 5: Obviously as is because of all the hurdles. But you're

643
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 5: tipping twice your tax twice.

644
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 9: It's it's very unsexy, and it also is something that

645
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 9: for us when we're looking at creating a hospitality kind

646
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 9: of first approach in these ways with the lounges and

647
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 9: the talent we want to bring, we're getting people who

648
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,479
Speaker 9: are used to making seven eight hundred dollars a night

649
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 9: from clubs or from the hottest restaurants, let's say in

650
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 9: Los Angeles, and to have them come in and be

651
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 9: making fractions of that just because we can't, you know,

652
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 9: we have to navigate metric and all of these intricacies

653
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 9: and nuances of how the system is.

654
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 5: Now.

655
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 9: That's why we're trying to kind of tackle it from

656
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 9: every angle to make it where it's like again going

657
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 9: back to the normalization, just like a normal rest like

658
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 9: a badass, right.

659
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, you ain't paid twice. I mean, you might have

660
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 4: to pay for your ballet. But whatever that's off wrong.

661
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 5: The planet's it's the service team then suffers.

662
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the.

663
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 7: Point of sale significantly helps with two A to E

664
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 7: because now we are hospitality operators. You have hospitality employees,

665
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 7: you're selling food and beverage just so happened to also

666
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 7: have cannabis sales on site. But for yeah, for two

667
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,239
Speaker 7: A to E, that's a huge huge benefit for us.

668
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 7: Right now, we haven't launched yet. We were talking to

669
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 7: a lot of operators right now, we're you know, being

670
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 7: the operators we are, We're like very careful on the

671
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 7: user experience, how beautiful it looks, and so that's like

672
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 7: we're tweaking everything right now, getting ready. But we've talked

673
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 7: to most lounges and we know how desperately they need this.

674
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 7: So now we're just working on regulatory and stuff on

675
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 7: the back end. You know, do you have to set

676
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 7: to purchase cannabis before you consume it? Because if that's

677
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 7: the case, we're never going to be building hospitality driven

678
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 7: venues because it will never feel like, oh, I'm going

679
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 7: to go to a bar and order a burger and

680
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 7: a beer.

681
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 6: At the same time exactly, so some of them.

682
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 2: But you can do it with you know, BJ's and

683
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 2: you know everywhere. I would highly see jest, you know,

684
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 2: getting like a hooter style one, you know, with you know.

685
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 3: I'm sure you guys have thought about it like.

686
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 6: A sports type.

687
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

688
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, these concepts are vast.

689
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 7: I mean, like think about think about a movie theater

690
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 7: right now.

691
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 6: How many times do you get drunk and go to

692
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 6: a movie? I mean I don't know.

693
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 5: I be more more stones.

694
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I smoke a joint.

695
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 2: Right, so every movie I don't get every theater.

696
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 3: They all do.

697
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 6: Now, why don't they have a candidate?

698
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 4: I don't drink, so I don't know. I mean it

699
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 4: doesn't pay. But I mean I don't care. I don't know.

700
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 3: Well so I do. And and yeah, I wouldn't go

701
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 3: drunk to the movie theater.

702
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 4: But I would you buy a drink there? I have,

703
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 4: I've seen drinks. I realized.

704
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: Let me say this, I've been in movies a million times.

705
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 2: I've only had to drink there four or five times.

706
00:30:52,440 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 4: But I've smoked weeds sin how many times? Popcorn? Tomali? Yeah?

729
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 4: cannabis hospitality. I love hearing what you guys have said

730
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 4: so far about everything, your history and this and that

731
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 4: and how you guys operate a place. I'm also curious

732
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 4: on what you guys got coming up. Where can people

733
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 4: experience the ritual cannabis hospitality at We have a.

734
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 6: Couple of things on the horizon.

735
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 7: I'll let you talk about Vegas because you know, Malcolm

736
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 7: was in Vegas and I live in la and so

737
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 7: it really is helpful for us. We're kind of trying

738
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 7: to navigate two different markets at the same time. Shout

739
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 7: out to Andrew as well. He's our other partner in Vegas.

740
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 6: He is amazing. He's our compliance guy.

741
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 7: So first off, we have a coalition that we created

742
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 7: with a couple other license holders, a few other hospitality

743
00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:00,479
Speaker 7: individuals in the space. It is basically it serves us

744
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 7: two things. First, officers as an advocacy group. A lot

745
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 7: of the regulations for consumption lounges across the country are

746
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 7: very poor. They don't allow for food and beverage, they

747
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 7: don't allow for profitability. So we've been working a lot on,

748
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 7: you know, getting a unified, solidified group together to be

749
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 7: a bigger voice to advocate for those policy changes. The

750
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 7: second thing that we're doing is pretty much just providing

751
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 7: a resource hub for these license holders who are brand

752
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 7: new to getting their licenses, maybe their social equity applicants,

753
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 7: and they don't really understand the next steps what comes first,

754
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 7: chicken or the egg. You know, you can't have a

755
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 7: concept in a business plan without usually paying someone to

756
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 7: do that, but then you can't get any money without

757
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 7: an investor.

758
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 6: So it's a hard you know, circle that we're trying

759
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 6: to break.

760
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 7: By providing really free resources essentially. So that also has

761
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 7: like a small business accelerator program that we're working on too,

762
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 7: So we'll be building that out. That's going to get

763
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 7: a lot bigger within the next year, and we're hoping

764
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 7: that we can change some policy regulations on a local level.

765
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 7: You know, a lot of states will say, hey, we'll

766
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 7: allow for consumption lounges, and then a lot of the

767
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 7: cities kind of screw it up, right, So we were

768
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 7: really focusing on that city level regulatory and advocacy work.

769
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

770
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then for Vegas that's a whole other beast.

771
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 5: Oh, Vegas.

772
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 4: Vegas is always something good there, I'll.

773
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 5: Be honest, you know, coming from Portland, Oregon.

774
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 9: I never thought it would be a Vegas guy, but

775
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 9: it's completely one our hearts and we've been pretty impressed

776
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 9: with the compliance the way that they kind of really

777
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 9: nailed it out of the gate so far.

778
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 5: So we do have some exciting things going.

779
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 9: We're focused on kind of even fostering this really wonderful

780
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 9: partnership with with Harden the boys over there at Hardean Dispensary.

781
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 9: They've got their lounge that're obviously going to be bringing

782
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 9: online somewhat soon coming towards the end of next year.

783
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 9: And then we also, you know, kind of as a funnel,

784
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 9: we're developing in the works of essentially a JV where

785
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 9: we're going to have an operation and management entity that

786
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 9: they have people coming to them because the reputation and there,

787
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 9: you know, how they're doing things with their brand.

788
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 4: We love Harding. We partnered up with them in Vegas

789
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 4: when we're at MJ business nothing. Yeah, you didn't say

790
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 4: hi to me.

791
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 5: You were signing. You know, you had autographs, you had

792
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 5: kissed babies and the whole things. But you know, they

793
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 5: they that that sort of you know, partnership and adding

794
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 5: that arm for them and them that infrastructure for us,

795
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 5: it was it was a natural progression made a lot

796
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 5: of sense for us.

797
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 4: It really is a natural because they're all about treating

798
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 4: people right exactly. I feel like their hospitality level is

799
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 4: up to like beyond par.

800
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 3: And that love that.

801
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 9: We love that they consider themselves a hospitality company first.

802
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 6: I mean their dispensary has its own sense, and it's

803
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 6: on a music channel. I mean like that shows and.

804
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 4: Not only that, I mean they have the education that

805
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 4: they're doing there as well.

806
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 9: We love, love, love yellow, you know, and that's we've

807
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 9: got plans for that. We have a you know, I

808
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,280
Speaker 9: will just mention briefly. You know, we're not a one

809
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 9: on one trick pony. We do have a little bit

810
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 9: of tech. We don't like to fashion ourselves tech people,

811
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 9: but we are working on a proprietary pos for the

812
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 9: space to kind of help really move away from that

813
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 9: retail focus of a lot of these puss that are

814
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 9: geared towards just that and embrace a little bit more

815
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 9: of understanding this is a hospitality thing first. With these lounges,

816
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 9: they need that functionality of a toast, a lavo, something

817
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 9: that's a little bit more geared towards a restaurant right

818
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 9: where bars sort of layout.

819
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 4: So now the big question is how much does this

820
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 4: cost to utilize you guys as a percentages, is it

821
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 4: a fee, is it hourly? What does it take to

822
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 4: utilize and work with a company like Ritual Cannabis Hospitality.

823
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 7: Well, we have we've totally like worked with people in

824
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 7: every single capacity that you probably can at this point

825
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 7: for social equity, amplegants, we've done a lot of you know,

826
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 7: we've done a lot of work to kind of get

827
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 7: them ready for investors and so something we're stepping into

828
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 7: a lot more as investor relations. We know how to

829
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 7: put a really great pitch deck together for somebody, and

830
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 7: so you know, if you don't have the money to

831
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 7: hire us, but you're still looking to find an investor,

832
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 7: we do some equity work in that regard. Otherwise it's

833
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 7: so specific on do you have a kitchen?

834
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 6: You know what else to do?

835
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 4: No matter what are we doing everything?

836
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, it looks very very different everywhere.

837
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 9: They do they want us to bring GC people, Do

838
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 9: they want us to like general contractors? And do they

839
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 9: want us to be the ones who are doing f

840
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 9: f and you know furniture fixture and equipment selection do

841
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 9: they want us to be doing in house branding or designing?

842
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 9: Do they you know, we can be a one stop

843
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 9: shop in the sense of because we have such strong

844
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 9: strategic partnerships and alliances with the people that we utilize

845
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 9: per projects circumstantially. But but our core offering is really

846
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 9: helping them train and onboard. We're talent acquisitionists in the

847
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 9: end of the day. We bring great teams together, uh,

848
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 9: and and just kind of how we can build that

849
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 9: culture leading into once you're gonna be operational where it

850
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 9: really can be smooth sailing.

851
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 4: You don't have to have those And then are you

852
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 4: sitting there giving like the man you're the owner the

853
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 4: guidelines of how everybody should be and how the server

854
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 4: should act, how the dress should look.

855
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 5: I'm holding hands with leading by example.

856
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 6: And don't get me wrong, we say no to a

857
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 6: lot of projects.

858
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 7: We kind of have to because there's a bandwidth and

859
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 7: there are some projects that we know out of the

860
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 7: gate the regulations don't make sense and so it's not

861
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 7: going to be as profitable, and.

862
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 6: We try to give them.

863
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,919
Speaker 7: Sometimes I'm telling people things that they do not want

864
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 7: to hear, but really just trying to help them out

865
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 7: or help them raise more money if they need it.

866
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 6: You know, our I think both of.

867
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 7: Our goal and our drive and our passions for this

868
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 7: is eventually to have like a hotel project. And so

869
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 7: we have like a five year goal that we're going

870
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 7: to try to build.

871
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 6: A hotel in Las Vegas.

872
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 7: It's you know, we've sort of got a partner and

873
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 7: we're working on those things, but we want to do

874
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 7: something really big that showcases to the industry like this

875
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 7: is how hospitality in the space should look and this

876
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 7: is like the standard that everyone else essentially needs to follow.

877
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 7: And so we're not even just thinking let's do a

878
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 7: restaurant or something.

879
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 6: We're trying to think, you know, as big as we

880
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 6: can in that regard. And would it be cannabis, would

881
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 6: be a cannabis hotel. There would be no alcohol on sites.

882
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 6: You're not allowed to do that in vague we do.

883
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 9: So this is a this isn't a hypothetical fairy land.

884
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 5: This is something that is in the work, in the

885
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 5: in the works that were Yeah.

886
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 6: It's a lot of money.

887
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 7: Though to answer that it's going to cost you know,

888
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 7: fifty dollars, But if you're talking about like you know,

889
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 7: we've quoted for a lot of our clients in West

890
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 7: Hollywood are in Vegas. At least ten is like a

891
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 7: ten million is like a pretty standard buffer that you

892
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 7: can give yourself to ensure that you have enough money

893
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 7: to do this because HVAC alone is such an expensive.

894
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 4: That's what I was told Larry from a Planet thirteen.

895
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 4: He goes, oh and then they changed the rules on

896
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 4: him and he was so pissed off.

897
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 7: Yes, And we're also friends with Brian Lunt from the

898

941
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 7: that that memory didn't come through my mind immediately, because

942
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 7: that's sort of how I remember it first time smoking.

943
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 4: Wow, sorry for your loss. It's crazy. Yeah, it's always sucks.

00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 9: You know, it took me about five times until I

948
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 9: got stoned my first time first time, I definitely took

949
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 9: a pipe into the Oregon Woods.

950
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 5: I like sat down. I thought it was gonna be

951
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,439

954
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,759

956
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 3: Me too.

957
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 4: I have three older brothers. So that's why I was

958
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 4: six when I first started smoking.

959
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,400

Speaker 4: Really.

00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 7: I love a hard bong rip to the face. Even

969
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 7: a joint sometimes just doesn't do it for me. I

970
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 7: just love a good bong rip some ice in that

971

00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 8: It's two feet.

977
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 3: It's like, it's beautiful. It's a pleasure.

978
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 4: He hides it somewhere around the campus because he just

979
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 4: comes out and he has it. It's like, but I

980
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 4: don't know, I've never seen where it's at. I love

981
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 4: that he's just a guy that comes back. He has

982
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 4: buried somewhere.

983
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 6: I love that. Malcolm, let me guess yours infused joints.

984
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 5: That's not fair. You know me too well?

985
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:29,720
Speaker 4: Is it infused joints?

986
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 5: I just I'm a turp head.

987
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 9: I just love just as much as I can get

988
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 9: out of it. Infuse Jays all day. Yeah, plus my

989
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 9: tolerance talking of undue. I gotta get that reset in

990
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 9: my system because I gotta you gotta come back down again. Yeah,

991
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 9: but infuse Jay's absolutely definitely, that's my Jim.

992
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 4: That's a good thing. Craziest place you ever used or

993
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 4: smoked cannabis.

994
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 6: Well, I have a story. It's not the craziest place.

995
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 7: But I was definitely sitting next to Chris Brown at

996
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 7: a party once shameless plug.

997
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 6: He didn't hit you, He did not him.

998
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 7: But so you know, I'm kind of like sharing a

999
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 7: bench with someone and I was like facing you, and

1000
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 7: I didn't realize that Chris Brown had sat next to

1001
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 7: me and he had a whole bag of joints. So

1002
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 7: we kept you know, I'm sitting right next to him.

1003
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 7: You want this, you want this, and I just keep

1004
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 7: grabbing them.

1005
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 4: You know, it was Chris Brown the whole time.

1006
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 7: I did know it was him, but I didn't know

1007
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 7: how to be cool enough to stop smoking. So like

1008
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 7: thirteen joints in or something. It was a terrible experience.

1009
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 7: I had no cell phone. They took my phone at

1010
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 7: the door.

1011
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 9: She's also seen Chris Brown like five or six times,

1012
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 9: and he like stares at her.

1013
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 7: He might have known who I was because I worked

1014
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 7: with him a little bit in the past. But still

1015
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 7: I wouldn't say it was the craziest place, but it

1016
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 7: was the craziest experience. Yeah, I over consumed way more

1017
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 7: than I ever should have.

1018
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 6: I just did not want to say no to the joint.

1019
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 4: Chris Brown, I don't want to know I stop this.

1020
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 4: Yeah that's funny, Malcolm, remember me one more time. The

1021
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 4: craziest place she ever used or smoked cannabis.

1022
00:44:54,080 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 5: Craziest place was probably out of a Gatorade bottle in

1023
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 5: the bush of Africa. I'm not actually not making I'm

1024
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 5: not like trying to be cool.

1025
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 4: I know, I know. I lived in.

1026
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 9: Uganda in Tanzania for a while and it was like

1027
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,239

00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 4: what is that best meal where you went? Nothing was

1074
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,760
Speaker 4: better than this meal because you're in hospitality separate.

1075
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 6: I will say I don't even know the meal I had.

1076
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 7: But Malcolm, when he was trying to win me over

1077
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 7: as a business partner, sent me to this restaurant and

1078
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 7: gave me a full on experience and from start to finish,

1079
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 7: it was the best experience I've ever had in a restaurant,

1080
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 7: which is why I was like, all right, we should

1081
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:43,240
Speaker 7: be business.

1082
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,720
Speaker 9: I like, I like astor what o allergies and restrictions

1083
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 9: were before, and like had them sending out particular things

1084
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 9: to cater to that.

1085
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 7: It was less about the meal itself. It was truly, like,

1086
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 7: this is the best dining experience I've ever had. But

1087
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 7: catcha a pepe pasta. I'm a big fan of that,

1088
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 7: you know, I don't know. I don't even think I

1089
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 7: could choose. I love food so much.

1090
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 4: But you never know, because yeah, maybe there is Malcolm,

1091
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 4: what about for you? Is there like that? Like, oh wow,

1092
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 4: we had the president of fucking Uganda here and we

1093
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 4: have this meal. I don't know who knows.

1094
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 5: He's a simple guy, like, yeah, you know what I mean.

1095
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 4: But I don't know is there a story. I'm just

1159
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 4: you can smoke cannabis with anyone dead or alive, who

1160
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 4: would it be? And wide?

00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 5: I think I know hers.

1162
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 4: Oh, let's see how well you know the drake.

00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 6: Well, let me some. I do love drink.

1164
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:02,399
Speaker 5: On a surface level.

1165
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 7: I was, honestly though, I was thinking like Rihanna, because

1166
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 7: she's a big female consumer and I would love to

1167
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 7: like smoke me with another female. That's like, you know,

1168
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 7: I don't know just on that level, but like other

1169
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:14,280
Speaker 7: than that, I might even say.

1170
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 6: Like my grandma, I think it'd be really cool to consume.

1171
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 7: But I was sneaking her some edibles before before that happened,

1172
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 7: So you know, I feel like at this point, like

1173
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 7: if I if she were ten twenty years younger, I would.

1174
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 4: Have definitely Grandma, that's nice.

1175
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,359
Speaker 9: This is a tough one, sure, or Rihanna you said

1176
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 9: it has to be dead.

1177
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 4: Both either one. I don't care.

1178
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 5: It don't matter anyone, you know, I honestly like I think, Gandhi,

1179
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 5: I want to like pick that guy's brain, like just ripped,

1180
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 5: just baked.

1181
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 4: Some people look at Gandhi as a god.

1182
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I want to just like can you
