Kieve Huffman is the founder and CEO of Engager Brands, where he is building global cannabis brands focused on music audiences. For 25+ years Kieve has built lifestyle businesses and is a veteran in the entertainment industry, and is passionate about transforming branding in the cannabis world. In this episode, we talk about how stoicism allowed him to get through some tough times during Covid and revitalize his confidence in building a new business, why you should only worry about things you can control and not on things you can't, the evolution of the cannabis industry and the state of affairs that it's in now, how he used video content to build a successful cannabis business and how he uses content to build niche brands, why he mixes science and art to utilize analytics to influence creative ideas, how he gets into his creative flow state with meditation, affirmations, goal setting, and collaboration with his team, and how his definition of success has changed over the years into simply living a fulfilling, happy life and enjoying what you do.   Learn more at TheCreativeHaven.com

There's always been a connection between cannabis and music, but how do legal cannabis brands authentically connect with music lovers? To answer that question, we're talking to Kieve Huffman. Kieve is the founder and CEO of Engager Brands–a portfolio of cannabis lifestyle brands focused on reaching under-marketed music audiences. He builds authentic awareness for brands like Heavy Grass and Neon Roots by meeting people at concerts and music festivals. Before launching Engager, Kieve worked with some of the world's biggest brands, including Apple. Microsoft, MTV, Warner, Universal, and Sony. Today, Kieve joins the podcast to talk about how he jumped from the worlds of music and entertainment into cannabis branding, what he's doing to connect with influencers and reach audiences beyond reggae and jam bands, and his vision for a world in which cannabis consumption can happen safely and legally at shows. KEY TAKEAWAYS How “stoner dude culture” and terrible branding inspired Kieve to launch a more mainstream cannabis media company. The unique challenges of running national marketing campaigns for cannabis and CBD products–and the difference between promoting brand awareness instead of products. The elements that make for a successful brand activation. Why on-premise cannabis sales and consumption at music events is Kieve's “holy grail”–and what some people are doing to make this a reality right now. Why Kieve thinks we're still at least one presidency away from full legalization.
