This week, Ben and Carter welcome back the man with two first names: Brandon David. As a friend, ally, and host of web shows “Infusion” and “Investing in Cannabis,” Brandon will talk about how to build an audience and compelling voice online.

Bad-ass Oakland attorney Kieran Ringgenberg of Ringgenberg Law returns to the show this week to help Carter and Ben make sense of California’s SB-94 and its impact on the emerging industry.

This week, Ben redeems himself by returning to the studio to help Carter grill Bill Kerr, founder of Vertical, on brand strategy. We’ll talk to him about his experience building premium mainstream brands, as well as using brand and packaging to differentiate your product in the increasingly crowded cannabis CPG environment.

Suffering acutely from Ben’s repeated abandonment, Carter flies solo today, welcoming Claudio Miranda from Guild Enterprises. We’ll explore how partnerships and brand licensing can be used to help navigate the uncertain and barrier-ridden legal landscape for cannabis businesses.

This week, Ben and Carter welcome Max Savage Levenson, producer and manager of cannabis activism podcast “The Hash.” We’ll explore the how the changing legal and cultural landscape has impacted—and will continue to impact—the existing cannabis ecosystem.
