RIP Dana

By | News

When I search my friend’s name all I see is news articles about his death. Instagram is full of love from friends and fam but I want to make sure the world knows what he accomplished professionally too. I know that was super important to him. I built out this page on the LTRMN site and this post is linking to it to tell Google it’s a good one. We miss you like crazy Dana Ryssdal.

I’m doing TikTok

By | News

In the last couple years I’ve come to appreciate the power of publishing my thoughts on the internet in the form of works, primarily on Twitter and a little on LinkedIn. Content, they call it.

It’s still a bit unnerving but getting more natural everyday.

TikTok, video, and moreso relentless publishing of short form video is a much more daunting task but after watching what can happen on TikTok by simply showing up and working at it: I’ve decided to give it a go.

I’ll be talking about products and brands every day, at least once a day, on TikTok. My wife refuses to follow me.

Technology: The Key to Growing the Cannabis Industry

Technology is the backbone of the legal cannabis industry, and it is evolving and adapting at an exponential pace – even during the global pandemic. The success of the cannabis industry is entirely dependent on technology being a conduit between businesses and consumers and as such, canna-tech is continuing to expand the limits of end-to-end solutions in a highly regulated space. Solutions must deep dive into the nuances of the cannabis plant and consumer behavior while navigating compliance and developing real-time inventory and menu integration for businesses managing thousands of items. The unique demands and needs of technology in the cannabis industry serve as a case study for other emerging sectors and ultimately begs the question, “what’s next?” in cannabis and beyond.
