As an introvert, it's been a draining (but GREAT) past few weeks: Hall of Flowers in CA - jet lag, plus new to CA market made this one more stressful - but as always, the cannabis community is so welcoming. With tailwinds from HOF + 420 upcoming, Woodstock is on-track for it's best wholesale month EVER (very low bar, but we'll take the small wins to celebrate). Def worthwhile exhibiting there with Lowell Farms Inc.. Techstars Boston Accelerator Mentor Madness (sorry can't say "Magic" just feels wrong). Pulled in a few other alums like Joe Lemay & Max Faingezicht as it's been 10 yrs since I was in the program (yikes!)... and connected with Kerty Levy & Aidan Kittredge and their awesome new class. Not a ton of consumer focus in this batch so not sure how much value I can add - but love a bunch of these companies! NECANN - biggest cannabis tradeshow in Northeast... not going to the official show (Woodstock isn't in MA YET) - but will be at 1 or 2 of the parties on Fri and look forward to catching up with my former peeps... One of the things I've realized about my introversion... is that, it's easier if you love what you're doing / you're mission-driven and you surround yourself with great people... Yes, I still exert a lot of energy at these big events - but I also GET a ton of energy from talking to others about what they're building and seeing people I used to work with and how much they continue to grow & crush. No more big shows for a while after this Friday... time to recuperate this wkend!
Good job putting yourself out there to introduce your brand! 🎉 as an energetic extrovert, I am ready to be on the road, at events and making industry connections for Woodstock! Let me run the road shows for you 😉
Way to get out there Richard!
