    Sorry mango but you are not meant to be a podcast host. Horrible. Nobody want to hear about you and your story. Stop turning it around and making it about you. Nobody wants to hear you talk.

“The Free Money Episode: Cannabis Rebates Explained - How Utilities Pay for Your Grow Lights
Q: How did you get into rebates originally?
I learned about rebates after a random MJ Biz encounter, did the math with utilities, and realized the money could significantly reduce customer costs, which reshaped my sales approach.
Episode:18 - The Green Dragon Story: Grammy Awards, Legacy Cannabis, and the Rise of Toad Venom
Q: How did Becky become known as Becky and then Toad Venom?
The team explains Becky started as a green plant selection, was named Becky due to its look, and marketing pressure led others to popularize the name Toa Venom; the team maintains it originated from Green Dragon and was a deliberate, tested selection.
From Hiding Weed in Cornfields to Building A Global Brand- Ep:22 - Nick Bryan of Golden State Banana
Q: How did you transition from Indiana to California and start scaling?
The guest describes moving to California for legal reasons and better opportunities, then building a series of grow houses, early cloning operations, and leveraging contractor skills to scale up, before moving into licensing and branding to expand regionally.
From Felony Charges to Global Genetics | Chase of Umami Seeds
Q: How did you transition from growing in Utah to building a global breeding business?
The shift happened gradually: moving to California, learning indoor and commercial cultivation, and then leaning into breeding as a core passion, banking seeds, and forming international partnerships one step at a time.
Episode 19: The Truth About Toad Venom | Featuring Ronin Seeds W/Special Guest, The Green Dragon
Q: What happens when a cut is misrepresented or ends up in the hands of others?
Credit and provenance are crucial; there's a push for transparency and direct communication about who hunted, who cut, and who owns the rights to a particular phenotype, with emphasis on protecting growers who invest in the genetics.
