74
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: goes back for me back in the day. I know

75
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: you guys have you know, some some connections with your

76
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: father and you know, getting into the cannabis space. That's

77
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: why I really got in right. So I was a

78
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: d one soccer player, went up to Kyle paul E

79
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: sp I was playing soccer there loved it. Ended up

80
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: breaking my right wrist. I was goalkeeper, so obviously sons

81
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: of goalkeeper doesn't really help. Yeah, hey he plays for

82
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: the past. Yeah, I know those guys. I used to

83
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: I used to play against them. But yeah, I went

84
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: up there. I ended up didn't working on soccer, but

85
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: fell in love with technology, fell up my schooling, and

86
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: I just fell in love with business. I want to

87
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: go do something right. Their whole mantra up there is

88
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: learned by doing, and so I saw my father at

89
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: the time doing very well. He's been a campus attorney

90
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: since two thousand five. Right, he helped write the regulations

91
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: for the city Long Beach. Really involved there. They on

92
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: down there with a number of the operators, and I

93
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: was fortunate enough to say, hey, like I tried to

94
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: order some cannabis up here and slow and it sucked.

95
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: It was it was a horrible experience. I'm like, I

96
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: could do this ten times better. So took the summer

97
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: sophomore summer wrote a business plan for him, and I

98
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: don't know why he did this, but he gave me

99
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: like a thirty five k lon He's like, go make

100
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: it happen. Ye that. Yeah, so you know we ended

101
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: up launching that business my junior and just ended up

102
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: doing really well. I was really excited. We were, you know,

103
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: bringing some hydro up from from Long Beach up to

104
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: the up to the Central coast, and people just fall

105
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: in love with it. We weren't servicing you know, the

106
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: students were servicing the winemakers up there right, the business

107
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: owners up there, and uh, just fall in love. But

108
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: also realized at the same time, you know, in the

109
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: back of my class dispatching drivers keeping track of itvan

110
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: for keeping all the Yeah. So that just was a

111
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: night and so came up this concept. It's called four

112
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: twenty connect back in the day, but we changed the

113
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: name a little bit more Silicon Valley. You know, it's

114
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: up in the name Blaze, uh And anyways, it's it

115
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: was in uh in those early days. It kind of

116
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: got this vision for it. Knew I didn't want to

117
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: be an operator anymore, but I love the love, the

118
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: plant love that we were doing for our patients up there, right.

119
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: So this is a prop to fifteen days and we

120
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: really help some people out. I truly believe in the plan,

121
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: both for people that you know, have ailements, don't have

122
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: ailments like I just want to make this successible. And

123
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's a new, new new industry for a

124
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,119
Speaker 1: lot of folks, a lot of opportunity in the business.

125
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: I want to make sure people have the tool set

126
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: coming out of the great market to actually develop and

127
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: deploy you know, these real businesses here. So that was

128
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: really the inspiration for it. UM ended up selling that

129
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: business couple years later. I think I got got out

130
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: of that before the regulation game. And uh that's where

131
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: my tech journey really started. Got hired at a couple

132
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,520

157
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: guys come up with this idea, we are over uh

158
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: full time employees over a hundred and then with the

159
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: contractor everything pro about hundred party. Are you guys are

160
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: privately held? Yeah, we're privately held, and we just uh

161
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: did an acquisition which we'll talk about I'm sure up

162
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: in Canada. So UH brought in a great team up

163
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: there called Green Line point of Sale, but really excited

164
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: to have them on. Just great founders, great team, and

165
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: they've been just tearing it up in Canada. I'm super

166
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: excited to bring the teams together and spent about two

167
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: months and things are moving. So you guys acquired the

168
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: Green Line and then are they going to become Blaze

169
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: or is it that is the goal? So obviously look

170
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: forward to that in ear the Q one next year.

171
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: We want to make sure we get this right, respect

172
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: their brand, respects to make it work. So now you

173
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: guys are going out of the country. You guys are

174
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: being so big going to another country. Yeah, let's go.

175
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean we wanna there's a lot of reasons for

176
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: that acquisition, but you know, we want to play in

177
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: a space that's federally legal, right, we want to understand

178
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: what that looks like to actually do business. Have you know,

179
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: banking available for normal businesses, payroll services, you know all

180
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: these things that we you know, we'd expect to have

181
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: down here in the States. Obviously we don't have in cannabis.

182
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: But we're excited to go infuse a lot of these

183
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: new opportunities into the folks up in Canada. And I

184
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: think you know what we're hearing is they're looking for

185
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: the solution. They want kind of all these traditional business

186
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: services all on one. So that's what we're aiming for.

187
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: It's Chris, I'm just curious. So because there's so many

188
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: different Blaze entities, right, walk me through how the first

189
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: one you guys started. Because you guys are a monster

190
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: like you guys have all these different entities. How did

191
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: that happen? Yeah? I mean, look, we had always the

192
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: vision wants to go full vertical. From day one, that

193
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: was the vision. We knew that, hey, you know, you

194
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: can control your costs, you can control the supply chain.

195
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: There's a lot of great things when you're vertically integrated, right, um,

196
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: And so we wanted to go after that dream. It

197
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: was a huge stream, right, that's a lot of stuff

198
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: to do. That's massive. So we started to think about, hey,

199
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: how do we create some core building blocks that we

200
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: can essentially stack on top of each other and use

201
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: across these other platforms. Right, you look at cultivation and

202
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: look at processors, You look at manufacturers, distributors, retailers, deliveries.

203
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: What are they only the only diventory management as a box? Right,

204
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: as a building block, they need some sort of transaction,

205
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: what would be invoices or sales. We just found all

206
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: these different kind of commonalities here and we built in

207
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: a way that weird, like, let's go attack retail first.

208
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: That's our bread and butter. That's what I know, really

209
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: really well, um, and then let's start to extend it

210
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: out from there. So that's that was the that was

211
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: the idea of the concept. And and now all these

212
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: dispensaries are using Blaze pos systems, which is funny because

213
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: that's how I heard of it, right, like, oh, what

214
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: are you guys using and your dispensary Blaze? Yeah, Blaze,

215
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: I saw you just had Sean on Pineapple Express shot

216
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: after Josh and Shawn Pineapple Express. Great early supporters of us,

217
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: just excited to see them just blow up recently. I

218
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: mean they're doing fantastic with their their l A stores.

219
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: Now how many stores are you guys? Approximately? Yeah, so

220
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: with the combined uh Canadian company work just over four today,

221
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: So it's pretty wild to think about that. That's great. Congratulations. Now,

222
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: do do you feel that you know the you know,

223
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: Federal is going to be coming on shortly? What is

224
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that, because I mean you probably have

225
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: some kind of insight, mean that you're dealing with a

226
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: lot of banking and everybody else place to your business

227
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: and absolutely, Look, I would love to say that it

228
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: is coming sooner than I think everyone hopes, but unfortunately,

229
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, three four, five years out unfortunately.

230
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: But hey, we've got a great state system set up,

231
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, and I think I'm really bullish on that

232
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: local system keeping strong, so I'm excited about it. But yeah,

233
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: I think we're a little ways out. Although I would

234
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: love to say coming next year, but I don't think

235
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: that's problems. Blaze needs to make it happen. You heard

236
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: it first right here on Cannabis Talk one on one.

237

Speaker 1: A A I D S h O P. Now Chris

251
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: with Blaze, the CEO you started. I love the fact

252
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: dog that your dad and you invested in his son

253
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: and you're smart enough to be that dream child that

254
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: does something so magical. What proud parents you must have.

255
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm serious too, and you're just to hear that story

256
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: of knowing I live close enough to you that maybe

257
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: my son can wreak a little bit of your play soccer. No,

258
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: but I'm just happy and proud of you as a

259
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: young Orange County lad right southern California, doing so much

260
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: and as you say, this dream that is so big

261
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: meaning vertically intervet graded to hear that dream and people

262
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: are listening. That's so many different businesses that you have

263
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: to create and get niches niches of like how do

264
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: we do this? How do we create this? It's not

265
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 1: just a one man band that knows all of it well,

266
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, essentially, it's different because I feel like you know,

267
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: you're you're innovating something brand new, so you know, we're

268
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: building the plane in the middle of the air. You know,

269
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: we're up in the air. We've got it going and moving.

270
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: But you're creating new, you know, technical ways for operators

271
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: to be able to operate easier in our space, which

272
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: are out there, but they're not for our in our

273
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: space exactly. Look, my favorite thing to do is, you know,

274
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: collaborty we're just talking about. Sean and Josh over at

275
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: Planople especially love collaborating with our our customers because to

276
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: your point, I mean, their business is monumentally different than

277
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, shout out to the folks m M D here.

278
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone's business is so different. So the fact

279
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: that we get to work with them and really come

280
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: up with the game plan that suits everyone. You know,

281
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: it's just on the phone with a customer down Massachusetts,

282
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: completely different business, right than than California here, let alone

283
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: New Mexico and Colorado and all these other things. So

284
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 1: it is a lot to handle. There's no way we

285
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: can do it all that. We've got a great team

286
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: that runs our product team that runs you know, one

287
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: thing just to dovetail here, but a lot of ore,

288
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people, a blaze with former operators and

289
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: so that makes up a lot of our DNA at

290
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: the company. So people building the products have run dispensaries.

291
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: People that are building our growth products have run grows.

292
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: People are building our business intelligence tools, right. Uh have

293
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: done that for some large organizations here in Orange County

294
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: and down in San Diego as well. So we're really

295
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: fortunate to have that team. But uh, yeah, when we

296
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: start to look at all these things. You look at cultivation,

297
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: that could talk cultivation for ten hours, right, you got

298
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: indoor outdoor. I mean just that alone, let alone the

299
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: subsets of you know, greenhouse and all the other things.

300
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: It's it's quite a bad man. So, like that all

301
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: being said, where is everything for you guys? That like

302
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: where where are you guys laid out? Yeah? As first

303
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: team wise? Yeah yeah, you guys are a huge office

304
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: and one spot or your grow everything? What do you guys?

305
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: We started remote since you know, obviously before the before

306
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: the pandemic, but we've been remote since day one. We

307
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: have great office here in Newport Beach. We have another

308
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: one up in Vancouver. Um, you know, our policies look

309
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: coming to the office of your clothes, it helps you out.

310
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: Some people like to come in once a week, twice

311
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: a you know, twice a month. Whatever it is, um coming,

312
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: it's available for you. But you know, everyone's pretty much remote.

313
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: I think the teams in about eighteen states and eight

314
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: or nine provinces. I mean, we're pretty distributed across the board.

315
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: So thank you Slack and Google for making us all

316
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: work together. It's funny, we're all Slack too doing that.

317
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: It's so funny how those type of things bring everybody together,

318
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: and you could be all around and coming together and

319
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: bringing the people in the industry that can think technical,

320
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: technical enough to figure out what these real growers need

321
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: because there are a grower. And that's why your blaze

322
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: is so blazing, because you're really doing what the people need. Well,

323
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: like you said when you said there's a lot of

324
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: the operators, you know, I mean that stays one dear

325
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: to my heart because you're hiring within, you know, people

326
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: that understand what's going on and versus you know, you

327
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: have a lot of very intelligent people that have never

328
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: been in the space, so they still need this learning

329
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: curve and they don't even understand that. I mean, you know,

330
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: you have someone come in for for example, well here,

331
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, well, we do this this, and

332
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: then it's like okay, great, but you still got to

333
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: train them for three months on trying to figure out

334
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: at least if they're good, you know, to figure out

335
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: what the hell the ecosystem is like, and then it

336
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: takes more time to really get them up to speed,

337
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: to to have the the lingo and the conversations that

338
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: they want to have to feel comfortable, right, because if

339
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: you want to have a conversation with somebody about growing,

340
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: you better know your ship, you know. I mean, that's

341
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: someone that's in the in the thick of it, you

342
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: know absolutely, you know. So why why did you decide

343
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: to do that? It's just felt the smartest thing to do, obviously,

344
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: But look, I mean I started this because I was

345
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: an operator and I knew exactly what was missing right

346
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: and trying to sit just together. So obviously those that

347
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: put their blood and sweat and tears into this, their money,

348
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: their time, I mean, that's obviously putting a lot of

349
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: time and a lot of focus. You know what the

350
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: gaps are, you know what the problems are, So let's

351
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: figure it out. If we need to coach you technically

352
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: and how to you know, talk tech and get that

353
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: into the engineers, but they're doing tuition is spot on

354
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: with what is needed to run these bustances. So just

355
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: natural just fell into place. And uh, a lot of

356
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: our other employees come from our customers are like, hey,

357
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: we want to help build this. I want to make

358
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: a better product basically, So I love that journey and

359
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: get these guys some intro into tech and get them

360
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: up up to speed. How does the tech world uh

361
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: deal with you guys? Meaning what you're doing is very

362
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: silicon values right, Like you created this for a niche

363
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: of the cannabis space, but yet you have folks in

364
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: the silicon valuing Hey what are you doing over there? Hey?

365
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: What's Chris doing over there? You're now you're tapping into

366
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: our space? Did that happen? Is there's some type of

367
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: realm of world that we don't understand of tech guys

368
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: that go, hey, this crystal village is dumping into our space. Now. Now,

369
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: the way we wa we think about it is you've

370
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: got SAS right, software as a as a service, and

371
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,479
Speaker 1: we we we developed called vertialized version. Hold on what

372
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: is SAS because I don't know what's SASS? Just the

373
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: term for you know, software that you can go onto

374
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: your web browser and start using right. So in this case,

375
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: when we blaze for these operators, uh, maybe quick books

376
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: for some accountant, right, that's a SAS platform. And so

377
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: we just say it's verticalized me and we built it

378
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: specifically from the ground up for cannabis. We didn't take

379
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: some software in tweak it and then say it's cannabis.

380
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: Is custom built from the ground up. And I think, look,

381
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: I used to work at Amazon Web Services. It is

382
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: the cloud right for Amazon. And I used to talk

383
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: to some great c t O s out in um,

384
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: you know, out in San Francisco, the Bay, right, and

385
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: people love their fascinating about what we're doing. Um, they

386
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: love it, right. And I was talking to some other

387
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: CEO here in Orange County that they do similar to

388
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: what we do, but for for dentnistry, right, so they're

389
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: running software for the dentists. But it's very interesting when

390
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: you bring cannabis. Everyone just kind of pauses and like,

391
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: what do you mean what's going on? Isn't that funny?

392
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: How like you're a tech guy, Like no, but it's

393
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: in the cannady like but still the my next my

394
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: next line is like, yeah, we crossed over two billion

395
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: dollars of sales here. Yeah, it's not a big deal. Yeah,

396
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: that's only two billion. Yeah, And then they're like, is

397
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: that what you guys are processing to We're gonna bypass

398
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: that this year by far really good for you. It's

399
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: a lot Let me ask you. Let me ask you.

400
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: Does do you go to a lot of these techie

401
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: uh you know outside of the cannabis you know, uh

402
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: B two B or you know, you know and stuff. Yeah,

403
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: do you go to a lot of those as well?

404
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: And brand they're not not not so much like going

405
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: out as a brand marketing gig, but we do it

406
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: to educate our team. Right. So there's actually the Amazon

407
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: summit coming up here in Anaheim, not too long. I

408
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: think it's about a month from now. So you know,

409
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: our cts coming down, she PROCT officers coming out. One

410
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: of our devils guys is coming down. So look, we're

411
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: building tech. We gotta up to speed on what's going

412
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: on in the industry because frankly, we've got some really

413
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: bad as tech that because we're paying attention, we've saved

414
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: ourselves a ton of time and a lot of efforts. So, um,

415
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: you gotta stay up to speed. But mostly for marketing.

416
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: You know we're doing um. I'm actually speaking at Cannaicon

417
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: Detroit on Friday, so I'm flying out there. It's a

418
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: lot of the Canic cons right at the m J

419
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: BIS Cons, all those folks. Now you're working with us

420
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: on the Bernie the World Series of Cannabis and and

421
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: the Bernie Cheese Festival. So I was talking about I

422
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: was just talking about ahead of time. So I know

423
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: you guys just had Gabrielle. I'm from Atalanta, the mayor

424
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 1: of Atalanta. He'll be here Thursday. We're having a fun

425
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: event here. You should come by. Okay, you're not too far. Yeah,

426
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 1: I've not met him, but just so then just come

427
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: Thursday and we're having a big event here with him.

428
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: I'd love to do that, especially Thursday. I'm gonna be

429
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: in Detroit, all right, but we'll make it happen. But

430
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: I'm stoked to make this happen. Let's talk about events,

431
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: because that is I'm so incredibly excited about events. I

432
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: think it's just like you get a beer right as

433
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: a at a concession, Sam, why can't you get a joint?

434
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: Why not? Why can't we do this instead of people

435
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: bringing this in and they buy cigarettes and and bring

436
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: them in. So I love what you guys are doing.

437
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: I just got that across my desk. We would love

438
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: supports you guys on it. You know, we've done some

439
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: really cool events before. If you look up in San Francisco,

440
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: Outside Lands were the point of sale record for the

441
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: you know, the actual cannabis sales campus concessions part for

442
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: a couple of years. So I love it. It's so

443
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: cool to see the data too, because customers interact very

444
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: differently than uh in a dispensary. Right there at an event,

445
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: they're not really buying jarred eights, right what are they buying?

446
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: Three rolls and drinks and other things that we don't

447
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: normally see move off the shelves that fast, So then

448
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: move probably fast with these vance Let me ask you

449
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: anyting data to say, yeah, absolutely, it's it's actually good

450
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: data exactly. I want more of that data right there.

451
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: That was good information. Any any plans and going public?

452
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: Look right now, I think there's a uh, the public

453
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: world a bit of a bit of a challenge. I

454
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: would say, we're we're excited to say private. To be honest,

455
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: we have to control our destiny. We've got green investors,

456
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: so they let me do my gig and lead this

457
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: company and continue to push. So we're really happy private

458
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: right now. It's uh, if we do get an opportunity

459
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: to go public, I would love to see that Blaze

460
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: logo up there, you know maybe yeah, yeah, I was

461
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: just thinking, I mean, you know, I like, you don't

462
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: test the plant right, so essentially you're you're could do

463
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: every you can do it right. And but you know,

464
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: for me, it's just the way it sounds like you've

465
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: built this and and and you're building it just sounds like,

466
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: you know, hey, you're gonna end up going public, you know,

467
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: I mean maybe it sounds inevitable or you're going to

468
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: get acquired, right. We're super excited about the future. Yeah here,

469
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: I mean we're just getting going. If it was like

470
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: it's already been five six years already, but it's like

471
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: we're just taking off. We're dealing with some really cool

472
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: public companies right now. That I'll go ahead and mention,

473
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, um canapy no outside of the the cannabis industry

474
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 1: that folks are coming in there are really bullish and excited.

475
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: I can imagine that's the case too, because that guy

476
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: said that I can see the Silicon Valley looking at

477
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: you going, wait a minute, I want to just buy

478
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: this company because this is I'm a tech company. I

479
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: want to be your this is what I want to

480
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: bring into my world. Yeah. So one example is the

481
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: world pay right, one of the largest payment processors in

482
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: the world. In the world right, so, uh, they approached

483
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: used a better Canadian acquisition and you know, we're gonna

484
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: do some cool things together. That's the first time you've

485
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: seen a financial company, at least that I know of,

486
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: publicly traded willing to come in and be like, we're

487
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: gonna go do this with you. Yeah, we're gonna do

488
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: this just in Canada right now. It's federal legal. Is that?

489
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: Why talk about that? But that's that's a different one.

490
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of uh, you know, we think of

491
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: Blaze pay is more of an integration layer. There's so

492
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: many different processors and teams that we have to integrate

493
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: with behind the scenes. But all that's to say is,

494
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: you know, hey, it's a really seems experienced. When the

495
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: bud tender goes hit, you know, you know, Blaze pay,

496
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: the terminal lights up, customer puts on the credit card

497
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 1: just like at Starbucks like any other transactions, as they

498
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: should like if people are excited about it, I'm excited

499
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: about it. But look, this is just it just needs

500
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: to work that way. So I'll tell you a quick

501
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: fun story and before we go to break is you

502
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: know Joe and I, you know, Joe walks into my

503
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: office and and you know, my next door neighbor, and

504
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: I know who Joe was prior to this in the

505
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: met him before but not really met him and hung

506
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: out right. But he walks into my office and he says,

507
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, hey, you know I heard you have you know, merchant,

508

Speaker 1: you know, service to issues that you need to get

509
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: through and I can probably help. And I'm like, yeah, dude,

510
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: you know, and I had went through so many different

511
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: people because you know, believe it or not, when you're

512
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: you have anything cannabis in your name and you're trying

513
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: to bring in money, um, and I think we were

514
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,719
Speaker 1: doing probably you know, two or three million a year.

515
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't even that much at the time, and and

516
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: so I was just having issues. I'm like Joe, like,

517
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm pulling in two hundred fifty thousand dollars in a weekend.

518
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: Can you help me? You know can He's like, he's like,

519
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: you know, And what I liked about it is he

520
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: wasn't like yes because everybody else is like, yeah, we

521
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: could do it, Yeah we do, and then they freeze

522
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: my money and then I'd be stuck, you know, And

523
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: I was doing seminars, so it was it's kind of

524
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: a high risk, you know, and there's a lot of

525
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: refunds and stuff involved. So I'm sitting there going, dude,

526
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: this is this is crazy, Like no one could help me, so,

527
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: you know, I'm opening multiple accounts and pulling in. Finally, though,

528
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, he he was able to link me up

529
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: with uh, what's his name, Scott? I know his good

530
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: What's what's the company? Though? Oh? Anyways, the merchant. Ye

531
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: I only hang out with people, remember yeah, but but

532
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: but process, I can't remember the processing and the guys

533
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: from p P I and all these companies that we

534
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: were trying to get ahold of you to do that

535
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 1: back in processing part, I was like one guy that

536
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: was trying to get ahold you of people, like trying

537
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: to get ahold this company Blaze because they're doing so

538
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: many dispensaries. And then I was working with these companies

539
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: that we're doing the you know, the debit card only

540
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: back in things, and there's so many back in ways,

541
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: and they were trying to send my money to overseas

542
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: and all these other things. But I was able to

543
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: help blew a lot the most. But the fun part

544
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: is is, yeah, so we we built our relationship off

545
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: of that because you know, Basis Scott. Scott said, hey,

546
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: you know, we could take up to I think it

547
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 1: was like a hundred fifty thousand dollars a week. So

548
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: extually trans came in and it was like, you know,

549
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: they said, hey, we can do a hundred fifty thousand

550
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: dollars a weekend. And I was like, are you sure?

551
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: Because I'm pulling in this kind of money. I need

552
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: to know if it's just real and everything else. And

553
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: and finally, you know, but if I went to a

554
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: hundred fifty one dollars, my whole ship got frozen. And

555
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: we found out and I found out the hard way

556
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: on that, you know, and he's looking at me. I go, dog,

557
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: you went to what seven whatever it was that I

558
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: told you, what fifty? How can I yell at that?

559
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: When I told you you want to do world? You know,

560
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: in the US it is so hard, so hard. That's

561
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: why we said pace and integration layer, and then we

562
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: worked all the different you know processors and so hard

563
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: to because you know, we don't We're not the payment

564
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: processor here, that's not what we do, right, We have

565
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: software integrates with all that stuff. But it's challenging. But uh,

566
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: you know, not only on the consumer side take payments,

567
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: even on the B two B side, the back inside

568
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: of pay vendors. I mean it's it's a challenge for

569
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: dispensaries today. We just and they can't do it from

570
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: electronically because where my money? What account? It's like, okay,

571
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: it's the shell account, it's just account. Who's the biggest competitor, Yeah,

572
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: the biggest competitor probably gonna be like leaf Logics out there, right,

573
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: there's our duchy rather so they run very similar stack

574
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: to what we do, trying to service the whole industry

575
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: that way. Um, you know, on the point of sales

576
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: side can be probably trees Us and flow Hub, Covid.

577
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: There are kind of in the gag that we're working

578
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: with right now. But I would agree, I think you

579
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: guys are you know, if there was a top five,

580
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: there's I think your top three if anything. I mean,

581
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: it's just right there. But my opinion, Blaze, like I

582
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: said everything I said I was, we've had meetings about

583
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: your company. I've had meetings about your company of trying

584
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: to get at them, and what they're doing is leading

585
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: the pack in that realm. And you guys have you

586
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And one of those other companies

587
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: that you mentioned, which I love that you did, because

588
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: these are the companies and innovators that are doing it.

589
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: What's what's which we need more of. There's pepsi and

590
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: coke folks, you know, I mean, they get you kind

591
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: of taste the same, but you know they taste a

592
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: little different. And you guys are doing is it are

593
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: a little different than cater towards more people and vice versa.

594
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: So I think there's a market out there. We'rena come back.

Speaker 1: It's great to have you, Chris, because watching you do

636
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: what you do and seeing the other companies coming doing else.

637
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: Is there any interest in taking your expertise in cannabis

638
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: to clothing and jumping into the game with the other

639
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: POS systems that are out there. Yeah, look, jumping, we'd

640
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: call that jumping verticals, rapper jump over to new industry. Look,

641
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: I think there's a ton of possibility. We didn't approach

642
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: my coffee shops. We've didn't approach why don't you shops,

643
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean across the board. So I want to think

644
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: about what we can do here with you how Yeah, No,

645
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: I think I think that could be on the roadmap

646
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: in the future. Right now, we're focused on we got

647
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: a lot on their plates. We talked about there's so

648
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: many problems, is all for these operators. We're dead and

649
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: hardcore focused on cannabis right now. But who knows. Yeah,

650
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: in the future that could happen. You know, it's still

651
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: a little you know, touchy, you know, but I think

652
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: there's a psil Simon's are gonna come very, very hard.

653
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: And if they do find that it's medical, and you know,

654
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: one thing we'd love to stay around here is if

655
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: it's you know, the United States came out and say

656
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: cannabis is medicinal, there's medicinal value in it, right, There's

657
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: no way that we come out and say that if

658
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: there wasn't. So if there is and still Simon's, I

659
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: think that it'll have you know, a huge surge as well.

660
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: Just and I hope we have like those type of

661
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: dispensaries like that where the Blaze pos systems will be

662
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: in those type of places. Yeah, make it easy to order,

663
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: manuscribe your phone, you know, and and now are you

664
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: guys also do like CBD stores and stuff like that

665
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: are just dispensaries, you know. We've got a few CBD

666
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: stores on on the platform. We're very picky about who

667
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: we work with that. Um. Look, there's a lot of

668
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: folks that uh, you know in cannabis. Obviously, if license

669
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: you get, you know, you've got a lot of regulations

670
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: you need to add buy by and some of the

671
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: CBD shops, you know, they're doing some other things they

672
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't be doing. So we just found that out

673
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: by you know, their site going online and see what's

674
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: up there, and we've seen some some some interesting stuff. So, um,

675
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: you know, so we're you know, we do service a few.

676
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: I'd say one of my favorite things that's popped up

677
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: that's been really fascinating recently is all the tribal dispensaries

678
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: coming out. There's quite a few of them on tribal Yeah, yeah,

679
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: especially up in you know, uh, Northern New York. We've

680
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: got folks out here in California all over the board.

681
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: Um and it's that's been fasting because it's been under

682
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: the radar. No one's talking about it. And these guys

683
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: can really do what they want. I mean, it's travel land,

684
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: so it's pretty interesting. And some of these dispensaries out

685
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: by you know, Mammoth uh up here in California, they're beautiful,

686
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: they look amazing, so and they get to grow their

687
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: own product. They can't really go buy from, you know,

688
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: some of the distributors and manufacturers, so they're doing everything.

689
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: So it's all organic right there. I don't know, but organic.

690
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: But well look that's a different topic. But they play

691
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: you get away with a little bit more than most.

692
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: It's it might be better. It's been fascinating. So I love,

693
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: you know, I love the uh transpensaries here and that

694
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: the tribal lanch has been a really interesting thing to

695
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: see pop up. Have you guys started to to to

696
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, go towards that land and work with them

697
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: as well. They're coming to us, so we started working

698
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: with a few and we felt really good about them.

699
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,959
Speaker 1: We knew, you know, their their accountants came to us

700
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: and wanted to use the software we knew them from

701
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,479
Speaker 1: the industry. Was okay, let's let's give it a go

702
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: and make sure it works. You ask me, that's the

703
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: original gs of the game. You know what I mean?

704
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 1: If you asked me that's the native land is like

705
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: this is who should have everything first? Yeah, so we've

706
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: been blessed to work with quite a few tribes. But hey,

00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: like the common one, right, But I like when I

774

00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: just just talking about it. Yeah, I'm ready to gain

781
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: the white Pitt give me the question number five with

782
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: a high five. If you could smoke cannabis with anyone Chris,

783
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 1: dead or alive, who would it be and why? Probably

784
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: the great greatest question of them all here I was

785
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: thinking back. I know this is probably the most random,

786
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: but I would love to smoke with Abraham Lincoln. Yeah,

787
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: I would love to see you know, he just talked

788
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: about a leader back in the day. I talked about

789
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: someone that you know how country divided pulled them together.

790
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: I'd love to just like get into his head and like,

791
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: how the hell did you do this? Because that is

792
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: a different level. Well, you know what the similarity right

793
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: now is, Chris, you're bringing the cannabis industry into the

794
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: tech world. So it's very similar to you and him.

795
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: In my eyes, I can see a similarity pattern. That

796
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: is uh, that's an ambitious comparisons. Facts he did that,

797
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: you're doing it now, dog, keep it up, because who

798
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: knows that you say that vertical change before you know what,

799
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 1: You're Amacy's, You're in fucking Nordstrom's. You're in Safe Way,

800
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: You're in Pavilions, pick it, You're in Big Five. You

801
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, You're in fucking costco. Like, that's

802
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: not a far reach for what you're doing. Long journey man,

803
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: we gotta focused right now saying I'm just saying, though

804
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: you're already killing it in the cannabis game, and you

805
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: brought something that was never there for it and specifically

806
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: monetizing and helping these industries out because they need it. Yeah, well,

807
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: this is organizing it. You mean, like now people can

808
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: see the data of intellectual data that says when you

809
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 1: go to an event, more people are buying drinks to that.

810
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: That's data that who knew this? Yeah, yeah, that's what

811
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: they want to buy. That's what they want. That's the

812
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: game that should be told. I mean, that's the best

813
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: part about what you're doing. You shovels and picks. You know,

814
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: when you look at the gold mining folks, that's who

815
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: made the most money. People who made the shovels on

816
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: the pics. You've got the shovels of the pick there

817
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: gonna help figure it all out. So good jobs. So Chris,

818
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 1: anything else that we forgot before we let you get

819
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: on in here that you want to mention talk about?

820
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 1: Oh man, um, you know, I'm just on the payment side,

821
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:21,919
Speaker 1: right I was talking about the B two B side

822
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: being challenging for these dispensaries. We just launched a really

823
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: cool partnership with Bespoke inventory Financing. So a lot of

824
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: these dispensaries right now they're having to pay upfront right

825
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: A lot of people used to do terms. Now every

826
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: vendors wants cash on delivery. That takes a lot of cash, inventories,

827
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: cash right sitting there. So we've been able to offer

828
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: some really cool financing for for operators to just get

829
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: it in free up some cash, especially in these times

830
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: right now, we're's just incredibly hard. So shout out to

831
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: the Bespoke team. They've been great partners thus far and

832
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: super excited. But we just launched that that press release congratulations. Yeah,

833
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: so you guys are offering financing to to the dispensaries

834
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: and then and then what kind of you know terms

835
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 1: are there is a high is it? It's actually very reasonable,

836
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,480

837
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: what what is that that? Uh, it's strictly it's not

838
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: a hard money loan, right, it's inventory financing. So it's

839
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 1: based on you know, they have a proprietary algorithm, but essentially,

840
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: you know your past you know, sales over the last

841
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: couple of months Iventtory hold um and the rates are

842
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 1: pretty good. I mean it's uh, I want to miss

843
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: quote the rates on here, but sure when I saw

844

Speaker 1: them super low, and I was super excited to offer that.

845
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: What's cool, though, is you can actually you know, based

846
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: on their their their history with you, you can almost

847
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: just say, hey, you're preapproved for this. That's yeah, that's right,

848
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: that's what we did. That's the other part because they

849
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: do so they already watching it and say, hey, you

850
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: guys been approving. They're going what they know actually better

851
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: than them. Are you taking it directly out of the

852
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: out of the their their their cash in or is

853
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: it something that they you know, is it just automatic

854
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: out of their bank account? So they're gonna grab a

855
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: loan right for whatever it is to say they want

856
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: to you know, crab fifty dollars to bring in an

857
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: inventory refresh, right, so they'll applied for that loan. Again,

858
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: we pre pre pre approved about I don't know, tune

859
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,040

861
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: They get that, they apply for the loan. It takes

862
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: about a day and a half to get approved by bespoked.

863
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: Their incredibly quick team turn around. Moneys in the account,

864
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: go spend it how you want, and then you've you know,

865
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: pay it off. I think it's thirty and sixty day

866
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: kind of period, so pretty straightforward. So we're excited. We've

867
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: just got a first customer out the door out in

870
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: of people. I think that's that's important. You know, your

871
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: your companies like that model. Yeah, good. People need to

872
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: helping hand like that run businesses sometimes. Look, we're trying

873
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: to part of the game. Everyone's been focused on the

874
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 1: consumer side, like what can we do for the consumers? Obviously,

875
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: they run, they bring the dollars in the business, they

876
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: buy stuff. That's great, we have We've done so much

877
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 1: tech work there, but no one's really focused on how

878
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: do we enable the BDB to go better? I mean

879

881
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: pay them up front? Why I put them on. I mean,

882
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure we've heard horror stories of people not getting

883
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: paid at I've heard so many of those stories. Let's
