And there was a lot 281 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 2: of these guys that came in that you know, they 282 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 2: knew everything about cannabis. 283 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 3: They were the. 284 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 2: You know, the goat of this and the goat of that, 285 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: and they you know, and they're master this, master that, 286 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 2: and then they find out that they don't really know 287 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: how to run businesses and how to operate and how 288 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 2: to you know, you know, sustain themselves in a market. 289 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 3: Right, So I think it's it's interesting, you know, to. 290 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 2: Raise capital for the cannabis industry, but are you finding 291 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 2: that people want to raise for the actual flower or 292 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 2: for the ancillary brands? 293 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 5: Actually the yeah, both both. It just depends on what 294 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 5: kind of investor you're you're talking to, but yeah, both, yeah. 295 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, some of them are are you you know, predominantly 296 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 2: finding things that are real estate backed or are you 297 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: looking for things that are like licensed backed or like 298 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 2: what kind of you know. 299 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, well I I well, real estate's really important. That 300 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 5: that's super important. But the team, the team is the 301 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 5: most important. You know, have have the do they have 302 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 5: what it takes to get the job done? Are they 303 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 5: going to be successful? Because you know, everybody can whoever 304 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 5: can open a cannabis business, but can you sustain it? 305 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 5: Can you take it to the next level? And so 306 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 5: that's part of what I do is I bring together 307 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 5: a team to help help them do that, a team 308 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 5: of you know, CPAs, banking attorneys, asset protection, those kind 309 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 5: of things. But my what I really like is I 310 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 5: like to hunt for companies that are just doing things 311 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 5: a little bit different. Like, for example, there's this one 312 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 5: company that is going to be tokenizing their farm and 313 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 5: then it kind of drops the threshold for just anybody 314 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 5: to be able to invest. And so that's that's something 315 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 5: that's super cool. So instead of having two or three 316 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 5: investm you might have you know, one hundred and fifty investors. 317 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 4: Right, what does that mean? Tokenizing in the farm, crowdfunding. 318 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 5: Right, cryptocurrency, n FT, smart contracts using blockchain? 319 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 3: Yeah? 320 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 4: And is that are people wanting to throw that money 321 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 4: in towards the cannabis space where they just put their 322 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 4: funds intore? 323 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 3: Like, how does that work? 324 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 4: Okay, so we both have crypto, we get Well, I 325 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 4: don't I'm not really into the crypto Bluemore is. But 326 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 4: if I have X amount of crypto, I can put 327 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 4: that towards that. And I'm part owner now in this 328 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 4: because I'm utilizing my crypto towards that. 329 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 5: Well, you can pay crypto towards that. But what happens 330 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 5: is you have a realist, like say you have a farm, 331 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 5: and the farm is broken down to like thirty plants. 332 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 5: Each plant is a fraction of that farm, and so 333 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 5: then you would sell that fraction that plant and invest 334 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 5: in that. So whatever it makes, you'll make back, right. 335 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 2: And and it's also making money in the in the 336 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 2: market what you're saying, So it's so, but is that 337 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 2: investment dollar going towards the company or is that going 338 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 2: into you know, into the into the holding of the crypto. 339 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 5: It's just like money. It's just like using regular money, 340 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 5: but instead you're using you know, cryptocurrency money. But you 341 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 5: don't have to use cryptocurrency money. You can, you know. 342 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 2: But the company that gets it right, I'm asking, like 343 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 2: the compan let's so let's say I did that for cannabis, 344 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 2: talking on right, and I went raised a million dollars. Okay, 345 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: so I'm raised a million dollars. And then so I 346 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 2: take out half a million dollars to goo throw an event, 347 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 2: and then I bring back seven hundred thousand on that 348 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 2: half a million dollars in a six month period or 349 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 2: three month period or whatever it is. 350 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 3: And then. 351 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 2: That that turns into am I pulling that money out? 352 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 2: Or are we leaving that money in there for the crypto? 353 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 3: Is it? 354 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 5: Well? So it's just like imagine having investors, you know, 355 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 5: like ten investors, right, and so whatever money you're you know, 356 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 5: they invest whatever percent they they invest or. You say, okay, 357 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 5: you get this ten percent or you get this, then 358 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 5: you're gonna give them that money back. 359 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 2: Sure, but when they pull it out, but then they 360 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 2: can pull it out anytime. 361 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 5: No, they can't pull it out anytime. 362 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 4: So it has to mature, right, gotcha?
