This idea that the cannabis industry cannot find banking is a myth…. there, I said it! In most of my prospecting discussions these days, I find myself in competitive situations – I’m being shopped. My prospective cannabis customer is more…
Last weekend, I had the privilege of attending the 2nd Annual Kentucky Cannabis Conference in the state’s capital, Frankfurt. As my first time attending this conference, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I left with a slight sense of…
Chris Macek didn’t grow up around cannabis. A religious childhood meant he held negative views and false beliefs about the plant (as many of us did). But his transformation around cannabis began back in 2005 when he opened Barron Studios….
