I 304 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: felt it connected to with me. Um, with what's going on? 305 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: You have a question.

It feels like years and years ago. 310 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: I started like back when with Jesus, but it's only 311 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: been for and then. So the question number two was 312 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 1: which cannabis business model is right for me? Is like, 313 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: is it best to go with the internet, social influencers, 314 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: word of mouth, trade shows?

Janney, I, 316 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: I truly believe in this day and age where we're at, 317 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: if you're trying to get into the cannabis space, you 318 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: have to form an alliance with other people that are 319 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: in the space but vibrating a little bit. Somebody might 320 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: be have a distribution or somebody might have a huge 321 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: following you. You find an allowance to form a team, 322 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: and that for me is what worked. You know, we're 323 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: past working with High Times, and you know cannabis talk 324 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: one oh one, it's you know you you make sure 325 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: that you form an alliance with people to grow. Yes, 326 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if the listeners know, but you interviewed 327 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: women for two years with High Times, so you really 328 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: have some experience in cannabis. When we talk about going 329 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: back in time before Jesus, you know what I found 330 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: with interviewing all these women, It was UM. A lot 331 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: of them for the first time got to speak the truth, 332 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: their truth about what it felt like to finally smoke 333 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: in public or to be honest about it and the 334 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: fight in like how many things it's cured. Oh, it's magical. 335 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: And that's what people don't understand. People think this is 336 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: a green rush. But we really had to go through 337 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: hell to um, thank you so much. UM. We really 338 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: had to go through hell to like go through the licensing. 339 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: And that's what a lot of the listeners don't understand, 340 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: Like if you want to go to TC license, it's 341 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: like do you invest in someone that has a million? 342 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: Do you white label? Like what do you do? Like? 343 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: You got to you you got to really focus on 344 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: all your options. And I think a number for how 345 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: do I build my team? So this was the most 346 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: exciting question in this article to me on leaflely was 347 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: how do I build my team? Do we do it 348 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: with friends? Do we do it with strangers? Because everyone 349 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: I know in cannabis, they start out as friends. It's 350 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: all buddy buddy, and I see him at the trades, 351 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: tore like, well what happened to your company? I didn't work, 352 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: We couldn't come to agreement, we're like God. So it 353 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: almost seems like everyone who teams up in cannabis, who 354 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: brings their friends on, they can't come to an agreement, 355 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: the whole thing blows up. So it's almost like if 356 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: you go into business with strangers, like are we better off? 357 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: Because you have to be professional all the time, emotions 358 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: kind of have to stay heated. It's like, what do 359 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: you think to like on your team with skinny Weed? Um? 360 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: Is it mostly did you start out with like most 361 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: of your friends, family, like just doctors? Like well, starting out, 362 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: skinny Weed was a very lonely place, and it was 363 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: a place lonely skinny place, a lonely, chubby place. I 364 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: was literally high as a mother on edibles and the 365 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: guy at the time that I was dating was passed out, boring, 366 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: enjoying his dreamland, and I destroyed and ate everything in 367 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: the kitchen to where I was standing there. I remember 368 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: I literally screamed, and I said to myself, why the 369 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: fuck can anybody ever make fucking anything that you eat, 370 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: like not give you the munchies? And then I would skinnyweed, 371 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: what if you take the appetite suppressing you put it 372 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: into the the soil and then the soil grows and 373 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: then oh my gosh, you smoked the weed and you 374 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: don't have the munchies anymore. It was a beautiful stoner moment. 375 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: And now obviously it's moved to a nanotechnology that now 376 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: skinny wheed is actually CBD hump drived. But at the 377 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: moment it was definitely I thought I've liked was the 378 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: stoner on Einstein of our time. That's a perfect lead 379 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: in for a question number five, which was for the 380 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: listeners new to cannabis trying to start their own lines, 381 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: how do I define a target market in cannabis? And 382 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: so what I'm so, I know what made me trying 383 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: to find um my target market? So when I started cannabis, 384 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: I mean I had everything for sleep, for relief, for pain, 385 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: but I was like, what is my market? And I 386 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: kind of noticed after all of these trade shows that 387 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: the fitness world was more in my market. Like stoners 388 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: were like, why do I want to smoke something to 389 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: make me look weak, to make me lose weight? Like 390 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't make sense. In the fitness world, They're like, 391 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: oh my god, I can get high and lose weight. 392 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: This is an exciting thing. Ever, so what do you 393 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: think your target market is just everyone or everyone like 394 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: wanting to lose weight. Yeah, I think it comes down 395 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: to like picking out an area too, and um, finding 396 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: out what your competitor would be and oh that's a 397 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: really good point. Yeah, find out your competitor and kind 398 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: of think how your competitor I think it's Yeah, so 399 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: you find your competitor and someone that you you it's 400 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: not like it's a competition. You use that as a 401 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: learning platform to where you can better yourself off and 402 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: look and find in like and invent yourself in new 403 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: innovative ways. And I think from there and then from 404 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: the genre of you know, what is your target like 405 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: what is your product? Your product do like you know 406 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: a functionality or is you know where does it fallen? 407 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: For me? Skinny weed is about you know, health and 408 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: wellness and fitness. So that's where mind fell and I'm 409 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: still and we are. We're going for the skinny game. 410 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: We're getting people on the cannabinoid space. I know. The 411 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,479 Speaker 1: next questions for people getting into cannabis is what do 412 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: I need to get my canvas business started? And we 413 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: I know, with you and I going around to dispensaries, 414 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: we met so many people that literally mortgaged, mortgaged their 415 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,719 Speaker 1: home for this dispensary. And then we know people they 416 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: take on these huge investors and none of them really 417 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 1: know much about cannabis, and every everyone's trying to make 418 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: the biggest decisions. So I think for everyone out there 419 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: getting into new canvas and what I've seen starts smaller, 420 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: like start smaller or grow naturally. Because biggest thing I've 421 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: seen is people, especially too they expand too big. They 422 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: go to a trade show, they have you know, a 423 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: hundred thousands and orders like they can't even get get 424 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: you know that many pens that quick. You know, the 425 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: whole thing falls apart. So I think my advice, um 426 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: from reading this article in Leafley is starts small expanding naturally. 427 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: What do you think, Jenny, Well, I definitely think that 428 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: you always should start small and no matter what you do, 429 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: because you know, every dollar too, down to every penny counts, 430 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: and I think, you know, um, the most important thing is, 431 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: you know, you got to look at what what the 432 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: majority of the note of the licensees is right, and 433 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: where we're at and what we're doing and um yeah, yeah, 434 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: Like from people starting out, it's like do you have 435 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: kind of the same. Uh, similar to the last question, 436 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: but uh, do we have the the financial resources I 437 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: need to start my cannabis business? And now I know 438 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: I got lucky, like it was fate. I meant my 439 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: his partner, I didn't know a thing about his resources. Uh, 440 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: He's just like, hey, I have an office and a labelmaker. 441 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: I'm like, so that's all I need, Like link, can 442 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: I start? And then I found out he was very wealthy. 443 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: But I personally saw every time these laws changed, it's 444 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: wiping out these smaller companies because the box law changed. 445 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: You know the box laws change, everyone has to ship 446 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: all of their product back. Have the boxes redone shipp 447 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: back out. This can small out. This can wipe out 448 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: a lot of smaller companies really easy. And so, Janete, 449 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: have you had any problems? I guess because you're you're 450 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: himp so you're probably different than my problems with the 451 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: t C line. But you did have get it federally trademarks, 452 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: so that had to be difficult. Yeah, I know that 453 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: whole game till this day. You know, you're you're constantly 454 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: um policing it. And I think that's one of the 455 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: most important things with starting a business. In the cannabis 456 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: space is um. You have to be your own boss 457 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: and your own protector being because the cannabis space, everybody 458 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: is trying to get at. They think it's like back 459 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: in the day with the gold rush and now it's 460 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: the green rush. So anyway that anybody can jump on 461 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: that bandwagon, it's steal from you and try to get 462 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: to the top, because that's the only way we are rising. 463 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: I am telling you police your ship. Make sure that 464 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: you at least once a week with your trademarks, you 465 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 1: are looking at the you know, trademark office. You are 466 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: checking it to make sure everything is active, and you're 467 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: you know, you always do your Google searches and an 468 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:40,479 Speaker 1: Instagram if you put up your hashtags, um hashtag your 469 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: name or your even put like you're not only for 470 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: your business like because I noticed this article didn't really 471 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: get that much on the social media tip, and I 472 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: really feel it's important as a brand that you just 473 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: not only have like your names, but you have down 474 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: your message and what your tag and hashtags are for 475 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: all your social media is because social media right now 476 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: is king. It's it's the only thing that we can 477 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: vibrate on. And you've got to know which channels you 478 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: can work with with cannabis. So definitely know your police, 479 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: your trademarks that you get, and maybe know your hashtags 480 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: you know, social media. Being so in partant was a 481 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: perfect tie into the next question in this article in 482 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: Leafly was how do I guarantee my cannabis business success? 483 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: And uh, and this is a two part questions. I 484 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: thought about this and what do I consider success? But 485 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: with my company, it's not hey, you know, we earned 486 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: you know, extra hundred thousand a year. It's hey, every 487 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: single person that that buys my pen will know it'll start, 488 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 1: it'll work from start to finish. It's not gonna make 489 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 1: them sick, medical grade glass stuff like that. So I 490 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: think being known as a company that really cares and 491 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: as honest and uh, you know, just trustworthy. So I 492 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: think being known as that as a brand is what 493 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: I would can what I would consider my self as 494 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: a success the most as a brand. Over, um, what 495 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: do you consider um most successful for your company? Jennie, Well, 496 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: I think not even just you know, because I'm a 497 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: new company still, so I'm learning, and I mean and 498 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,479 Speaker 1: we're successful because I know how to like market and 499 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: I know how to get myself in the mainstream. But 500 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 1: you've got to really think about negotiating, and you got 501 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: to negotiate lower product costs than any of your competitors. 502 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: That's how Walmart and Amazon deliver low prices, and cannabis 503 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 1: has no exception. What's a really good point, because how 504 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: do you all least for the listeners? How do all 505 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 1: these smaller companies keep up with the cannabit with the 506 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: the Walmart's in the world who can order you know, 507 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: hemp oil and huge bulks, and the smaller ones are 508 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: still paying Like the per leader thing. That's where like 509 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: a quality, word of mouth and honesty and brand I 510 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: guess is really going to go hand to hand. And 511 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: I love that. A lot of the dispensaries that you 512 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: and I have gone around to will say, hey, we 513 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: don't want to carry these brands that can afford to 514 00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: pay us to keep it on shells. We want to 515 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: keep up ourselves, our shelves free for the companies that 516 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: can't afford to pay, which is really awesome. That's what 517 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: I love. One of the most things about people in 518 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: cannabis is their integrity and how much we really want 519 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: to help the smaller guy. Oh that's wonderful. You have 520 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: to Let's see number nine, how will future And this 521 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,239 Speaker 1: is what I'm most excited about for multiple reasons, this 522 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: article in Leafly How will future cannabis legalization measures impact 523 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: my business? And and this is the same thing as 524 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: with the laws change. You know, Uh, we can the 525 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: smallest little thing can wipe out these smaller companies, and 526 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: we have to band together. And I love that a 527 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: lot of these smaller companies are starting to do that. 528 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: You know, chocolate brands are teaming up with weed brands. 529 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: You know, we're all doing the whole scratch our back, 530 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: scratch yours.

Pit Peanut, Jennifer Elvis, Erica, Priscilla, 574 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: Abel Brandon, we really appreciate you, guys. And Blue. I 575 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: wanted to get into a little go green right here 576 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: because Leaflely and Jane are partnering up to build a 577 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: better online cannabis shopping experience. Now, these two giants of 578 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: the cannabis industry are announcing a partnership to create an 579 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: improved retail experience for consumers and dispensaries alike. Though this partnership, 580 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: Leafy and Jane's technology solutions will offer dispensaries powerful tools 581 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: to sync online e commerce with in store inventory. Now, 582 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: sometimes that is sorely lacking in the cannabis world, Like 583 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: they don't have like the Amazon field or the Costco field, 584 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: or you know, they just don't have that real big 585 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: organized field in the cannabis game. Even on weed maps, 586 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: you don't know what's really at the store you're going to. 587 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: So a handful of different apps report, you know, to 588 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: show the inventory of local dispensaries and often do not 589 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: line up though with the stores real time inventory. What 590 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: is more, sometimes other dispensaries have different ways of listing 591 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: the same products. So you may call a pre role this, 592 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: but it's really called that. You may think it's called 593 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: oh you know, it's it's redwood reserves and it's only redwood. 594 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: Oh we took out the reserves for instance. You know 595 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: what I mean. I'm just throwing out some random names 596 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: out there like that. So Leafley and James, they're partner 597 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: enough to seek to solve the pain on both sides 598 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: of the counter. James Technology enables dispensaries to build a 599 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: modern e commerce platform through automation and machine learning. Now, 600 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: James technology will soon be built into Leafley's menu. Jane 601 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: and Leafley have deep inroads into the cannabis world. Jane's 602 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: solutions powered over seventeen million orders and two billion dollars 603 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: in cannabis sales. Over one thousand, eight hundred dispensaries and 604 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: brands use Jane's technology. Likewise, in more than cannabis retailers 605 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: use leaf Lease platform, and the company saw a hundred 606 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: and twenty million visitors in its online marketplace. So right now, 607 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: in early one, there isn't, like I just said, the 608 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: Amazon of weed. Right there's not the Shopify of weed. 609 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: And it's for several reasons, because a you can't buy 610 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: cannabis online folks. So and if you're doing it, it's 611 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: you can't buy it with a credit card online. You 612 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: can order it, you can go pick it up, and 613 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: then you can pay face to face transaction. That's the 614 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: only way that it's legal. Now you say, oh, I 615 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: ordered it online and they delivered it to me. Yes, 616 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: But when you pay, it's face to face transaction. You 617 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: cannot pay online and let it go through those rails 618 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: that you've heard us talk about, which which we just 619 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: just recently talked about the lawsuit that he just took 620 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: which was what company was Ease. So for instance, you 621 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: guys that Craig stopped me from talking about that Ease 622 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: is out there. What when you're saying, you're probably going, 623 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: what do you mean I wanted from Easing? I paid online? 624 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: He's did that and they Ease is a marketing company. 625 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: He's took the money in online as a marketing company 626 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: and then paid the dispensary are the delivery service. They 627 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: paid them, But now what happened? They got here for 628 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: what a hundred million dollars and he's took the deal, 629 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: said no problem, I'll pay it because that's how much 630 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: paper they're putting on it and making on everything else 631 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: they are doing. You know, me being in that processing 632 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,959 Speaker 1: business when it started, We're like, how the hell are 633 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: they doing this? And I went and looked it up 634 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: and figured it all out there that and once again 635 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: I was saying to everybody, going, it's illegal, folks, what 636 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: they're doing. And he's had billboards in the Bay Area 637 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: off the Golden Gate and here in Cali, I mean 638 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: down the street from our shop, they've got they've got 639 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: them too. I mean, this is and here's the beauty 640 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: of it, right is this is that. Uh, there's a company, 641 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: h CMC that's in a lawsuit with Philip Morris right now. 642 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: And the question was, did you use our technology, our patents, 643 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: in our in our pins and the answers yes, however, 644 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: and it's been proven they've pulled it out. They but 645 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: they made it up themselves. But but they remade the 646 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: exact same I did it myself, but yes, I use 647 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: that tick off, but I created it right. And then 648 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: their their their blame is, well, we had a guy 649 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: that came in and basically built it and said it 650 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: was ours and we didn't know, right, so that he's 651 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: the he's the fall guy.

But 652 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: the which happens a lot in all these pins and 653 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: ship like that, there's only so many ways you can 654 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: do it, right. But ah CMC is suing them for 655 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: one one point six billion dollars. Now, the question is 656 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: is this So everybody's like, oh, they're gonna get that money, right, 657 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: But the real question I think it turns around and goes, 658 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: I don't know that they're gonna get the money. What 659 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: really happens is they just go, we'll buy you out right, 660 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: And so like with Ease, they just took They said, 661 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: you know what, we'll just take that because we made that. 662 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: And if they made that, that's cool. And if they didn't, 663 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: they still had a hundred million dollars to dish out. 664 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you know that's probably no jail time, cool, 665 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: no nothing. And that's the irony of of big business though, 666 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: And it's happening on this small level. Well, it's going 667 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: out with the black market dispensary, same kind of concept. 668 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: They're popping up. They make the sail, they get busted, 669 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: they shut down. Cool, I'm popping up another one. It's 670 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: that gangster mention. Federal. It's a federal thing though. I mean, 671 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: that's and that's why, especially when they do it online 672 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: like that, that's the federal stuff. So my point behind 673 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: what these companies are doing Leafley and James Technology, it's 674 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: long overdo. In my book, this type of technology and 675 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: stuff needed to be should be. And then the pros 676 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: and cons. So I'm gonna give you the pros. The 677 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: pros are it needs to happen, it needs to work 678 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: because why because when you're using these POS systems at 679 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: a dispensary, you should be able to translate that on 680 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: your website online and everybody should have access to that 681 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: to see what you have in stock live now right. 682 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: For instance, like when you're going to the fucking Costco 683 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: and you're gonna go order something, when you're gonna go 684 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: to something from Amazon grand that's gonna be delivered to you. 685 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: But when you go to a store and you're ordering 686 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: something from a normal company, that's a normal store, they 687 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: should have what you have on the shelf right now, 688 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: because that skew should be able to translate to my 689 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: website when I sell it, and now it's gone off 690 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: my website, so that type of stuff should be there right. 691 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: The flip con is now James Technology and Leafley now 692 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna say, well, if you're using the Leaflely POS, 693 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: we're gonna be working with you perfectly. What happens if 694 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: I'm using another POS that my company is. So there's 695 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: the con of, well, my ship is not working with 696 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: James Technology. Well, now you've got to get hip to it. 697 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: Because these are the two kind of big powerhouses of 698 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: POS systems and this and that, and there's a ton 699 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: of other POS systems out there. You can use all 700 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: kinds of them. But the one thought I think is 701 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: is that does it drive the whole market towards them. 702 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a brilliant place it is because it 703 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: does because everybody starts saying, well, let's just get on 704 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: their platform because it's gonna be easy. Or the POS 705 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: systems created to where your POS system needs to work 706 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: hand in hand better with your stock inventory and work 707 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,919 Speaker 1: better with the weed Maps. With that, what even weed 708 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: Maps needs to get involved because in my book, weed 709 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: Maps is kind of the bible of you know, going 710 00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: somewhere your shopping, you're out of town, you're this in 711 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: that they've been known to put a lot of fake 712 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: dispensaries up. They are illegal, this and that, but still 713 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: if you're gonna do it, they're the ones that be 714 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: also partnered up with to where that technology goes hand 715 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: in hand and all works together. So you're gonna need 716 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: What that means is a POS system, which for those 717 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: who don't know, that's like you know, you're doing your 718 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,280 Speaker 1: own inventory within your system, your stock right, my POS 719 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: system for my company will track what I have on 720 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: the shelves and then I'm gonna have my online so 721 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 1: my POS needs to work with my online website, and 722 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: then it also needs to work with another big company's website, 723 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: are all the big company's website because you don't want 724 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: to cut yourself short. Which then goes, well what technology 725 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: is that? Because if we is gonna use this one, 726 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: that one, this, you know, it becomes a crazy fucking scenario. 727 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: I'm just glad that these two Leafley and Jane, they're 728 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: gonna make a lot of money and do things right. 729 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: And you know, like I say, the pro is it's 730 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: gonna be done right and you're gonna be able to 731 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 1: go to a store and know what's there. But the 732 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: bad is for other companies staying bad for the other 733 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: companies that are the other POS systems and the other 734 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,439 Speaker 1: tracking systems. These two are gonna be the leaders. Now. Well, 735 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's it's going to create um 736 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: them to either one tether with them, figure out how 737 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: to interlink with their's because that would be the most 738 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: intelligent thing to do to not lose their But but 739 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: how many of them are going to be a race 740 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: to be great and get it done? Because and just 741 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,879 Speaker 1: get it done the key term right there, Get it done, folks, Yeah, 742 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: no matter what, just get it done. Yeah, because when 743 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: you look online, when I go to your website when 744 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: I'm on weed Maps. I mean, really, to get it 745 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 1: done is from your pos to your website and being 746 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: able to show your live inventory, which a lot of 747 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: companies websites they don't do that.
