Do you have a great idea that you want to take to market? Maybe you have a product that’s like nothing anyone else has ever seen. Maybe you want to open up a shop that provides a cannabis experience unlike anything ever done before. If so you have a daunting challenge ahead of you. Startups are difficult in any industry. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 10% of startups fail the first year, but 70% fail by year 5. If you’ve listened to past episodes, you know that cannabis has a unique set of hurdles above and beyond traditional businesses. That’s why I asked today’s guest to visit the podcast.
