Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

209_ Inside Leef Brands Business Strategy with Micah Anderson
Q: Why did Leef step away from New York, and what challenges did it face there?
Leef could not source enough suitable material at prices that worked for its extraction business. Supply was inconsistent, pricing was compressing, and the company chose to prioritize completing its California farm while awaiting possible market and regulatory changes.
209_ Inside Leef Brands Business Strategy with Micah Anderson
Q: Was pesticide drift something you had in mind when you decided to purchase a cultivation facility?
Anderson says pesticide prevention was a moral concern and a business decision. Leef selected a secluded Santa Barbara County site to reduce drift, protect product quality, and secure a reliable supply chain.
182 Jeff Rawson's Mission to Protect Cannabis Consumers
Q: How did your scientific background lead you into the cannabis industry?
My chemistry training and postdoctoral work, including time at Harvard, exposed me to how regulatory science and consumer safety can benefit from rigorous measurement and independent reporting, which inspired me to start the Institute of Cannabis Science to protect cannabis consumers.
150_LeafLinks 2025 Market Report with Ben Burstein
Q: What services does Leaflink offer beyond its platform, and how do they help operators today?
Leaflink provides centralized order management, CRM-enabled sales teams, and automated data flows across ERP and inventory systems, reducing manual work and enabling better forecasting and payment operations. They also offer financing options, including lines of credit and trade credit insurance, to ease working capital constraints for brands and retailers.
153_CEO, Todd Shapiro On Red Light Holland's Global Strategy
Q: What is the company's approach to Canada and regulatory hurdles there?
Canada is approached with lab testing and import permits to advance products like HomeGrow Kits and gummies, but distribution remains slower due to stricter regulatory pathways and programs like Exemption 56 and SPAW; they are optimizing readiness for broader market access.
