What will it take for cannabis and natural compounds to truly enter the mainstream—from toothpaste to energy drinks?In Part 2 of Trevor and Kirk's conversation with biotech financier and cannabis strategist David Traylor, they discuss how major corporations might explore integrating cannabinoids like CBN and CBD and other natural products into everyday consumer products.David explains how his Skunk Works Nature AI advisory group connects global companies with world-class experts in pharmacology, biotechnology, and regulatory strategy to develop cannabinoid and other natural product based innovations. From potential sleep-supporting CBN toothpaste, to the role of pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine, this episode explores how science, investment, and product development intersect in the cannabis, psychedelic and natural product sectors.Trevor and Kirk also unpack the broader forces shaping the cannabis industry—stigma, regulatory barriers, banking challenges, and the tension between single-molecule pharmaceutical approaches vs. whole-plant medicine.

David Traylor of Golden Eagle Partners introduces Skunk Works Nature AI. This new venture helps major consumer brands quietly explore cannabinoids and other natural compounds. Does a large beverage company want a CBG infused drink to help University Students get over their exam anxiety?

The future belongs to evidence-based product development built around cannabinoids, alkaloids, terpenes, and other natural compounds.David also discusses the capital crunch in cannabis, why so many firms have exited the sector, and a fascinating discussion about cannabis language and policy, including David's clearer framework of THC-plus and THC-minus.Listen now to learn how investors, scientists, and global brands are preparing for the next phase of cannabis, psychedelics, and functional natural products. David Traylor - LinkedInSkunk Works Nature AI - websiteTranscripts, papers and so much more at: reefermed.ca

This episode of Security Squawk breaks down a familiar and dangerous pattern in cybersecurity. Major brands are losing data. Attackers are moving fast. And companies are still relying on silence and delay as a response strategy. We cover hackers auctioning stolen source code from a major retailer, an unprotected database exposing millions of Gmail and Instagram records, ransomware claims involving Nike and Under Armour, and a gas station breach that exposed Social Security numbers. This is not about advanced hacking techniques or rare exploits. It is about basic security failures, weak response decisions, and the real business impact of hesitation after data exposure. If you are a business owner, executive, or IT leader, this episode explains why modern breaches cause damage long before confirmation and why waiting to respond often shifts risk onto customers and employees
