Junior Advisor/Intern

Helping cannabis pros market and sell their products and/or services

The cannabis industry is heavily regulated and competitive. 

And in the legal markets, cannabis doesn't sell itself.

If you want to succeed, you'll need distribution. 

And that's where your network comes in.  

Which is built by creating awareness. 

Through consistent messaging.
