Smash the Box

Most ideas and life concepts are confined within a set of rules and borders, similar to the sides of a box. Great entrepreneurs destroy the box.

After experiencing Kushcon last weekend, it’s clearer than ever what a profound impact cannabusinesses will have on the Florida economy. We’re proud to be a part of Kush.com as they transform the industry as the largest B2B network of cannabis-products from right here in Tampa Bay. See more coverage. Link in bio.

As cannabis entrepreneurs start to get their footing, the challenge of finding financing has a tendency to knock them off their feet. But it’s not an industry entirely devoid of fundraising opportunities – you just have to know where to look (Hint: angel investors like me, not banks). Here’s what you should know about your cannabis funding options and how to spend it. Link in bio. #nationalcbdday

This is what it looks like when startups have the passion, expertise, and willingness to do what it takes to differentiate themselves in a crowded space. Congrats to the Kush.com and Tradecraft Origin teams on the work we've done together to create the most efficient, reliable route to market for CBD. After 7 years of building the industry’s largest network of top brands, Kush connects local businesses with the top producers, processors, and retailers through one streamlined platform. Using our knowledge and experience in healthcare tech and the larger startup ecosystem, Kush is thriving in its new Tampa Bay home - I'm proud to be a part of it. Link to full article in bio.

We’re proud to share our investment, Kush.com, is now the nation’s largest B2B network of cannabis-products, expanding into restaurants, grocery, convenience store, and retail sectors. Kush.com co-founder Chase Nobles was at the forefront of building the world’s largest hemp marketplace and launching the innovative KushCon event. After 7 years of building Kush, Nobles will now take on the role of Chief Product Officer and President.

Kush’s growth as the industry leading B2B networks is the result of a joint effort of several momentous events - including tapping cannabis industry leader John Lynch as CEO, acquiring global cannabis network Tradecraft Origin, and our recent success with a $2M MacDonald Ventures-led funding round.

Now, we’re gearing up to host Kushcon, Florida’s largest hemp, CBD, and wellness trade show in Tampa this weekend.

Thank you Lauren Coffey for sharing the story! Link to full article in bio.

I talk about travel a lot not only for recreation, but because it’s an interesting investment sector for me. Example: the way we live and travel has changed, but a lot of the legacy problems that face the real estate rental industry haven’t. My investment, WanderJaunt, is the first decentralized real estate company, and they’re using tech to remove traditional hurdles and make life more convenient for renters and homeowners. Thinking of breaking into the real estate investment market? Check them out at the link in my bio.

The only way you get comfortable with stretching your limits is by stretching your limits. Traveling and extreme adventure are ways that I continue to challenge myself and there is no question that the resilience that I build in the wild transfers to the boardroom and vice versa. There’s a wild beauty in the harshest of environments that reminds us we can persevere through the challenges we face.
