Throughout his career, Hanna Kassis has overseen $1.5 billion in capital deployment. Hanna began his entrepreneurial journey in Youngstown, where he managed Tim Ryan's congressional campaign from 2008 to 2011. This early taste of independence would prove formative for his future ventures. Though he initially pursued law school in Chicago with intentions of becoming a tax attorney, Hanna's entrepreneurial spirit led him to found OAREX Capital Markets while still a student. The company secured seed funding from Dan Gilbert's Bizdom and later raised substantial institutional capital—$50M from a global asset management firm and a $50M line of credit from East West Bank—to build an innovative online ad revenue exchange.After successfully scaling OAREX, Hanna exited in 2022 by selling his majority stake to his investor group. His entrepreneurial drive led him to expand into new ventures, including the acquisition and revitalization of Whistle Taproom (formerly Whistle & Keg), which has become a Downtown Cleveland premier game day destination. When Silicon Valley Bank collapsed in 2023, Hanna recognized an opportunity and launched Babylon Asset Management. Under his leadership, Babylon has invested in 170 alternative loans, participated in 12 senior loans to other lenders, and helped 36 companies raise debt capital. Hanna was one of the first people I met in Cleveland, and it was a pleasure to finally have him on the podcast-----LINKS:https://babylonassets.com/about/https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannakassis/https://oarex.com/-----SPONSORS: John Carroll University Boler College of Business || Impact Architects & NinetyJohn Carroll University Boler College of Business: https://business.jcu.edu/ As we've heard time and time again from entrepreneurs on Lay of The Land — many of whom are proud alumni of John Carroll University —  success in this ever-changing world of business requires a dynamic and innovative mindset, deep understanding of emerging technology and systems, strong ethics, leadership prowess, acute business acumen… all qualities nurtured through the Boler College of Business!With 4 different MBA programs of study — spanning Professional, Online, Hybrid, and 1-Year-Flexible — The Boler College of Business provides flexible timelines and various class structures for each MBA Track — including online, in-person, hybrid and asynchronous — to offer the most effective options for you, in addition to the ability to participate in an elective International Study Tour, providing unparalleled opportunities to expand your global business knowledge by networking with local companies overseas and experiencing a new culture.The career impact of a Boler MBA is formative and will help prepare you for this future of business and get more out of your career.

When marketing maven Lisa Buffo broke into the marijuana industry in 2014, she had lots of questions concerning compliance, regulations and other issues, but there was no place for a cannabis marketing professional to find an answer. So she created that place herself, nurturing a series of marijuana marketing meetings that became the Cannabis Marketing Association. Today, the organization has nine “communities” across the nation and a growing membership. In this episode of Seed to CEO, Lisa shares: How she identified the need for a marketing association and how what she did can be used as a model for other professional groups. How her event-driven cannabis industry adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic. How to strategically scale an organization such as the CMA even as new markets are still getting off the ground. Why marketing really matters in cannabis. Who is Lisa Buffo? While Lisa's focus these days is on marketing, she has broad experience in multiple sectors, having worked with several business incubators, including as a program associate at Canopy Boulder, where she helped launch its first class of startups. She is also founder and co-chair of the Marketing & Advertising Committee at the National Cannabis Industry Association and speaks extensively about marijuana in the media and public forums. Before cannabis, Lisa worked for Bizdom and LaunchHouse, technology business accelerators in Cleveland and helped bring more than two dozen software startups to market.
