Welcome Note
Ready to catch up on the coolest cannabis beverage trends and updates? I have quite a bit for you this week. The latest news from the last week, my prediction for the future of functional beverages, fresh founder’s story and creator spotlights, and over a dozen new job listings in the 41st edition of Herbal Profiles.
Did you attend the Hemp Festival in Minnesota last weekend? If you did, please hit reply on this email and share all of your thoughts, things you learned, favorite drink you sampled, or any of your other thoughts!
I am always looking to speak to the people building this industry from the ground up. That’s the founders and the people in the trenches everyday. If you know an amazing founder with an awesome story (or you are one yourself) fill out this form and I would love to do a profile in an upcoming newsletter!
In the same vein I love speaking with people who are doing awesome things for the industry for the Creator Spotlight section. I sat down with Steve Meyer in our inaugural edition of the Creator spotlight and last week I got the opportunity to share Bri Smith’s story. I want to speak more amazing people. So please, if you know someone – nominate them here.
And lastly, if you are brand here and want to get in front of 1,800+ cannabis enthusiasts and experts every week please shoot me an email or fill out this form.
With that, let’s get into it!
