We start off our 24th episode with our favorite things: For Leah, it is two recent books by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, and for Diana, it is the upcoming NCIA Lobby Days.
Our topic is the Rs of sustainability in cannabis, and we address some sticky topics along with some awesome resources.
1. Respect people’s time and effort, respect each other – common complaint people are flakey – own it and make it better. Don’t set unrealistic expectations.
2. Relationships – networking at conferences, classes, etc., supporting each other
3. Resources – lots of free/inexpensive resources for making your business better. Canva.com, Fiverr.com, Upwork.com, Mary’s List, Skillshare.com, transcribe.wreally.com
4. Responsibility – elevating the industry through activism positive actions, community service, educating the public. Lobby days: https://thecannabisindustry.org/event/2019lobby-days/
