It's 13 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's interesting that we're literally downtown outside in 14 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: the middle of Pine and Fifth Street and and Heroes 15 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: for Harvest for Heroes, you know, And let me ask 16 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: you what part of the industry are you currently in, 17 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: because I got some news that you're a vet, that 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: you're not a vegan, but your wife's a veteran, you 19 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: have a family of veterans, and then now you're giving 20 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: back to veterans yourself. That's correct. Tell us about it. Well, 21 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: we started med vets back in and foundationalized and at 22 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: first it started with the idea of giving cannabis to 23 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: vets who needed it to help to mitigate opia dependency. 24 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: It was a lot easier back then. It was you know, 25 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: we you know, as we went out, a lot of 26 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: the farms up there. I'm from the Emerald Triangle and 27 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: a lot of the farmers came up and they said, yeah, 28 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: you know what, we'll get behind this. So well, we'll 29 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: support and we'll make sure it's going. So back then 30 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: we had a collective and and and that's how we 31 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: did it. We were able to fund that through the 32 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: collective work with the farms, but also set up our 33 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: own giveback program. Imagine that without the state involved whatsoever, 34 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: we gave it to no one got hurt. Yeah, and 35 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: that all stemmed from Prop. To fifteen through Senate Bill 36 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: for twenty and as you were mentioned, operating as a 37 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: collective with your memberships and physician recommendations to be able 38 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: to defend the charges that would come because it was 39 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: still a crime first back then, and you know, we 40 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: were defending collectives and cooperatives and patients. Uh since the 41 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: beginning when that was happening, and they were still getting arrested. 42 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: But going back to the point, it was so much 43 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: easier to give away to the vets. Now, what's the 44 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: tell the roadblock talk about the roadblocks that immediately went 45 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: up once we switched over to Prop sixty four and 46 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: everything else. Well, actually, immediately as soon as the Prop 47 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: sixty four happened, it killed all of our donations. The 48 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: people that gave to me. It was because we were close, 49 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: we were family type of situation that were given to me. 50 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: And and and actually I was turning around to other 51 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: veteran brothers who had depended on this medicine, knowing that 52 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: I would have something for them, and having to tell 53 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: them like, look, they've changed everything. Everything has stopped, you know, 54 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: let me help you how I can. But we'll do 55 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: what we can where we're at. So what happened is 56 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: is that there was everybody started lobbying for Senate Bill 57 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: thirty four, the Dennis Prone and Mary Brownie Mary Act. 58 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: And so when they started lobbying for this, they were 59 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: able to get it out. But honestly, it's a wet 60 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: dog of a bill. It really is, well, since what 61 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: does that bill contained that? And it makes it so 62 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: wet dogg is well. I mean, here's a deal. I 63 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: have gotten farms who have said, absolutely, we will work 64 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: with you. We we we we want to help, we 65 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: want to donate, we believe in this. In this way 66 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: they can, they can take off their their cultivation tax. 67 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: But everybody else along the chain, everybody else that you're 68 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: trying to get in, you have to pay them the 69 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: same money. And where we're getting stopped at. And what 70 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: had stopped a lot of our movement initially was distribution. 71 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: Distribution stopped the ability to take it off the farm 72 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: get it into a place. You have to get attested. 73 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: By that point, you're better off going to a personal 74 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: plant program, buying your own pound of weed and going 75 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: and giving it to the guy. It's cheaper and more effective, absolutely, 76 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: And that's but it's hard. People can't just grow their 77 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: own I mean they can, but I can't. You know, 78 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: I'm not a green thumb. I tried it a couple 79 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: of times. I killed things. And it's easier for me 80 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: to go get it from the people who know how 81 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: to cultivate it and do it right. Now, what is 82 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: happening currently with Santa Bell thirty four in your efforts 83 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: to give away cannabis to vets, because that's what we're 84 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: talking about here, is just being able to simply give 85 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: it away, which the fact that it's difficult is a 86 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: big fucking problem. It should it is, it's in my eyes, right, 87 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: I mean, uh, you know it should go in with 88 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: with healthcare and everything else, and it's not right. And 89 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: we're completely ignoring the facts that that veterans and all 90 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: people need this plant. Right, So you know, what's the 91 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: the answer, right, what what's the rollout? Right? How can 92 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: we educate people to understand what what would make it better? Well, 93 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: I think that's a you know, that's a silver bullet 94 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: question that that's really a silver bullet type question. You're 95 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: trying to find out what could do Well. Ultimately, we're 96 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: gonna need new laws. We're gonna need new legislation that 97 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: turns around and allows us to be able to help 98 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: veterans more freely get cannabis to the end to the 99 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: end zone. If we have to go into a dispensary, 100 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: there's there's no reason we shouldn't be able to have 101 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: some kind of licensure that says, if you're going for 102 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: cancer patients, if you're going for veterans, if you're doing 103 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: compassionate use, and you're doing medical, there's no real reason 104 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: that we shouldn't be able to make it toward. It's 105 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: like a micro business license to be able to get 106 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: it out and to donate through through doctor's offices to 107 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: really have a patient collective. Med Vets does a lot 108 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: more though than just supplying medicine to patients. There's we 109 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: notice some some opportunities for housings and things like that. 110 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: Talk about the other aspects of med vets and how 111 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: you help the vets. Well, we're actually right now remodeling 112 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: a fifteen thousand, five hundred square foot hospital and Fort 113 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: Bragg that had been turned into a bed and breakfast. 114 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: It is the Gray Whale, and we also have the 115 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: Colonial Inn in Fort Bragg, and with the Colonial Inn 116 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: in Fort Bragg, we are using that as a fundraising 117 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: I'm getting a lot of feedback. Yeah, yeah, I'm noticing 118 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: that too. I'm wondering if I look at you guys, 119 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: I get feedback. If I look at them, it keeps 120 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: it going. So I'm wondering who I should be over here. 121 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep talking. Don't don't look away, let me 122 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: do look in a way alright? Cool? You know what's 123 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: operation I'm missing? Going back? I want to know what's 124 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: Operation home Front.

Businesses can come and sponsors 127 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: literally buy a break by a break what's a brick? 128 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: Cost goes up from a hundred dollars up. Wow, that's fantastic, dude. 129 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: So you can get your name done or all the 130 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: way up to your company's logo done, and we're doing 131 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: like fifty bricks or a hundred fifty bricks or a 132 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: thousand or or whatever it is. Or you can sponsor 133 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: a room in the Gray Whale that we're renovating, gonna 134 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: be housing veterans in that. I love that. Man. Now, 135 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: where does this this passion come from? I mean, you know, certainly, 136 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: like you said, your your wife was a veteran, So 137 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, where where does the passion to do this 138 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: come from? Because it's you know, it takes a certain 139 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: kind of person to be able to donate their time 140 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: and focus on creating opportunity for veterans in medicine. My 141 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: uncle Tom came back from Vietnam schizophrenic, and it was 142 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: because he had a twelve year old blow his friends 143 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: his head off next to him as they were standing 144 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: there giving them candy oay um. As he came back, 145 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: I learned as I was out and I had produced 146 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: Freedom Fest in Castle Rock, Colorado, UM for the American 147 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: Soldier Network. And that's something I also do. I produce events, right. 148 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: So the deal is is that as I was doing that, 149 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: I was approached about helping veterans. And I came over 150 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: and I told my uncle, I said, you know, we're 151 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: gonna start giving a veterans cannabis out of our collective 152 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: with prop to fifteen. I'm gonna help these guys. I 153 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: think it's a good thing. And he disclosed to me 154 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: he had been walking for three years because his car 155 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: had broken down. He was too proud to tell anyone, 156 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: and he was saving his his money on his fixed income, 157 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: but he couldn't give up his anti psychotics and his cannabis, 158 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: so he had to save every penny he could. He 159 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: had his his medicine down to how many joints he 160 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: had per month, and so I told him, I said, 161 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: you know what, Uncle, I said, I'm gonna work with 162 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people and we're gonna help so the 163 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: guys like you can always have access. Oh man, I 164 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. That's uh that you know, it's a 165 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: great story.

And you were just talking 214 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: about pets, well, pets and pets. So what's the deal 215 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: with pets. If you look over there, that's Roscoe. What's up, Roscoe? Roscoe? 216 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: Let's go Roscoe. Yes? Good. So you're doing cannabis and pets, 217 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: and I mean, well, the pet therapy. First off, that 218 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: is my therapy. Yes, that that is my therapy. That 219 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: that guy is my therapy first and foremost. But I disappear. 220 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: When I walk into a room full of vets and 221 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: other people, I completely blamed out. I don't even matter. 222 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: He's being trained for deep pressure therapy for PTSD and anxiety, 223 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: so we were we take them around socialize him. But 224 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: the way that I built pet therapy and med vets 225 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: was to utilize what already exists. And so we're working 226 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: with the Mendocino County UH Coast Humane Society and they 227 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: have a huge facility over there and we donate to 228 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: them and we're working with them. We're working to get officers, 229 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: first responders who trained canines to actually work with our 230 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: men so that they can adopt a dog and have 231 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: it trained so if they grab as they come out 232 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,599 Speaker 1: of our program, they can walk out and have a 233 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: dog that's fully service trained. So I have some questions 234 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: because you know, I hear about pet therapy and I 235 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: have two dogs, you know, but what does that? What 236 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: does it mean? How? You know, somebody goes and they 237 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: have some issue, emotional issue or something and a doctor 238 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: or somebody's decided instead of the pills or other other things, 239 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 1: pet therapy, how do how does it work? What is that? So? 240 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: The the interesting thing about it is is if you 241 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: don't have anything else to depend on you, if you 242 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: don't have something that needs you, you can often get 243 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: stuck off in your own ways. You have nothing that 244 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: requires you to help it, and it it becomes a 245 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: positive codependence. Uh. The other thing is is how many 246 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: times you want to tell someone something and you just 247 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: know that you can't really get the words out. Roscoe 248 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: doesn't judge me. Roscoe doesn't judge me when I'm talking giberation, 249 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: I'm going through it and I'm asking him why I'm 250 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: crazy at night working all these hours. He comes with 251 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: me and he rides on unequivocally. He rides where we're going. 252 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: He rides with you no matter what, right right. He 253 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: has no amostes towards any of that. He just rides 254 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: with no judgment. I love that. So we just lost 255 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: our We just lost our thirteen year old boxer Deuice 256 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: and he was the one who went before us him, 257 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: but he had a month with him, he had a 258 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: month with him before he passed. And then he's the 259 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: next generation going with me all over the country. You know, 260 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't realize that. You know, 261 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: pets are our family members that you know that if 262 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: you don't own one, and you haven't, you don't have 263 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: that relationship with a pet, especially veterans as well. You know, 264 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: it's something that you know, we we all have to 265 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: realize that they are family, you know, and these are 266 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: real things. So you know, making sure now now you 267 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: know where where are you guys based out of the 268 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: Guinea Center, Fort Bragg, California. And you know, I forgive 269 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: me for for going back to the bricks man, but 270 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: I just find that that's such an interesting model. You know, 271 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: you guys are building a property and you can donate 272 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: bricks to get yourself a piece of the Yeah, because 273 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: it's not about if you really own a nonprofit. If 274 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: you really own a nonprofit, you don't own it, right. 275 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: It's really you don't really own it, right. So nobody 276 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: ever owned that collective right and and and so what 277 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: it is is it's actually built for the community that 278 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: I'm in. This is meant to be a duplicate Herble 279 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: model in each county. But I'm doing proof of concept 280 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: in Fort Bragging, Indocino County, in the heart of the 281 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: Emerald Triangle, and I'm bringing fine cannabis to access medicine 282 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: to vets alongside of it. Where does all this come 283 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: from inside of you? To want to do all of 284 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: this work and tireless? You know, you doing nights weekends. 285 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know. Where Where did it all start for? 286 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I know this whole thing started you said 287 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: in but it didn't start That's when it probably got activated. 288 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: And I when did the idea, the concept? Where did 289 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: that come from? And when did that hit you? The 290 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: concept hit me when I was approached by another vet 291 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: group and I saw them doing everything that I despised 292 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: and putting together a group. What did you despise me? 293 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: There was no testing, there was no there was no 294 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: logical reason to how they were treating these vets. It 295 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: was it was a Mickey Mouse cookie cutter club. And 296 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: it had no structure to it and no background, and 297 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: so when you look at it, there was no depth 298 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: of authenticity. It was about making money. And then and 299 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: then when I tried to help them, they couldn't tell 300 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: me where the money went. And if you can't tell 301 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: me where the money I'm raising goes, and we have 302 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: a problem, and you're gonna put my name on it. 303 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: And so I spent all that time up to that time, 304 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: nobody knew that I smoked cannabis. I kept it to myself. 305 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: I've been smoking we since the third grade. I grew 306 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: up in so you know, I'm not a Johnny Come Lately. 307 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: There's like, oh, let me just jump into the pot business. No. 308 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: I grew up off in it. I grew up with 309 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: a hundred bikes in my front yard, you know what 310 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: I mean. So this isn't something that I just randomly 311 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: was like, you know, maybe I should start a pot business. 312 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: I ran a moving company. I went from homeless to 313 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: the youngest owner of an international moving company. My number 314 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: one client were veterans. I moved the base commander off 315 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: Travis Air Force Base. You know, That's why I got 316 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: to know him intimately. I had one of the most 317 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: intimate careers in the military you could have, because when 318 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: the guy had to go or the mom had to go, 319 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: I was there with the kids. I was there with 320 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: the family packing them up, and the most important thing 321 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: to them, to that guy off and on a plane 322 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: was that his family was taken care of. And I 323 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: got to have a piece of that. Wow, that's amazing. 324 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: So look at this, gentleman, I'm gonna show yourself he 325 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: is pulling it out of his pocket and uh, we 326 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: are giving us money. I'm a civilian, but I was 327 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: given that challenge coin blue. What is that? Please? This 328 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: is beautiful. Wow, it's called a challenge coin. Yeah, I've 329 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: never even seen that. Well, what is a challenge coin? 330 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: That's a battalion coin for excellence and Mule Skinner's first calf. 331 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: It was earned in battle.

And he said, uh, 439 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: speak softly, carry a big stick. I think he'd be 440 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: someone fun to get high with and talk to. I 441 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: like that theory right there, Mr Roosevelt. I mean that's 442 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: a good one.

We talked about the bricks, right, 449 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: but you said you wanted to bring up another one 450 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: right when we broke on the last break and I 451 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: and I walked to the back and I was it 452 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: wasn't pet therapy, Oh the pet?

I think it really is 459 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: just kind of understanding and and finding those connections with 460 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: these groups that are out here. Uh, it takes a 461 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: village to get it done. Everything that I talked about 462 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: that I say, hey, we've accomplished or we're accomplishing. There's 463 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: thousands of people behind that moment that actually brought it 464 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: to life. It wasn't because I was that cool or anything. 465 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: It's because we're blessed to have the right people doing 466 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: the right things. And I think if you're gonna be 467 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be out there and you're gonna say 468 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: you're about something, then you really need to be about it. 469 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 1: We need to see where this stuff is going. There 470 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: needs to be that understanding that something's actually being changed, 471 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: not that it's nebulous and you don't know where the 472 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: money went and you don't know who's getting it done. Sure, 473 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 1: you know, we we say something around like within our 474 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: inner circle, we talk about you know, the fortunes and 475 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,719 Speaker 1: the follow up, right, Um, you know, don't forget who 476 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: brought you to the dance. If you don't care, then 477 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: you can't be a part of our team. Right. And 478 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: then once your mind expands from its original form, it 479 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: will never come back. And so when you start to 480 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: you know, deal with those kind of uh, you know, 481 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: languages within your inner circle, I think people understand that 482 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: there's growth, there's opportunity, and you could find something special 483 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 1: within that, you know, and it doesn't come from just 484 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: one person. It takes a village, like you said, And 485 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: so you know, um, I love that you share that 486 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: because you can't ever forget your team. You know, when 487 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: you forget your team is when you start to realize 488 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: that you end up being alone again, you know, And 489 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: We've all been alone at some point in our lives, 490 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: and you know, the feeling is just not quite the same. 491 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: You know, often tell my team if I'm the coolest 492 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 1: person in the room, we got a problem. Yeah, well 493 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: Mark doesn't feel that way.

My mission is to use the tools that 517 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: are in front of me, county by county to help 518 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: veterans help themselves, their communities, and their families so that 519 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,479 Speaker 1: they can get their self up straight, pointing the right 520 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: direction and plug them into the right people. The people 521 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: that do those things they specialize. I'm gonna get to 522 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: know them and they're gonna be a part of what 523 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: we do. And so when that happens, rather than me 524 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,959 Speaker 1: being that, it's it's put them where they need to go, 525 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: play them where they need to help and get it done. 526 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: Because there's a lot more people needing help than help 527 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: needing people.
