In January of 2017, Congressmen Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J. 05) and Tom Reed (R-N.Y. 23) brought together a group of like-minded House members who wanted to restore a bipartisan spirit to the legislative process: the Problem Solvers Caucus. A year after its founding, Congress is embroiled in the midst of negotiations over government funding, the debt ceiling, border security and a long-term solution for DACA. Representative Gottheimer joined Rick and Michael to talk about the Caucus' agenda for 2018 and possible fixes to the quagmires we're seeing in Congress. Derek Riedle, founder of the Cannabis lifestyle media outfit “Civilized”, discussed the economic and legal consequences of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the DOJ rescinding the Cole Memo.

And Jacquie shares her experience coming from the mainstream media into the cannabis industry. We discuss early days and when and how things changed along the way and we return to the conversation that we started with Derek Riedle in the last episode on what the media is, it’s purpose and how to ensure more trust in media from the each end of the general populace. 

Recorded at Lift Toronto, Derek Riedle from Civilized join us and discusses the crossroads of the media industry- where it is now and how he looks at where it’s going. He went to college in Halifax wound up back in is home of New Brunswick  and eventually was invited by a friend to California. He had been all around the world but never to the Golden State, so we went. After a few hours he called his wife and a month later they were looking for a place. He’s an old agency guy so he knows that agencies are hard businesses to scale. His moment of cannabis enlightenment came when he was at a nice dinner in Venice where he everyone in the restaurant was drinking beer wine and spirits while he was huddled behind the restaurant, behind a dumpster with his vape pen.

Prepare to be Civilized   Re-introducing Derek Riedle   Sometimes you come up with an idea that is so timely that you feel you must seize your opportunity. Derek Riedle had one of these eureka moments recently, but did not sit by and wait for someone else to grab the opportunity. Derek is the head of Revolution Strategy and also the co-producer (along with our own Greg Hemmings) of Hemmings House's new series, “The Real Houses of…” However, Derek's new idea had him so excited that he went from concept to launch in a half of a year. Derek saw a disconnect between the way that cannabis culture was being expressed in popular media and the true face of the people that partake. The stereotype of the lazy, slacker pot smoker doesn't reflect on millions of successful, motivated people that use cannabis recreationally. While there has been content developed for the cannabis community, Derek saw a void for the millions of upscale, high income, educated and profession smokers. So, starting last week Derek and his team launched Civilized, which provides content for the elevated cannabis culture. The online publication doesn't just discuss cannabis however; there are articles about travel, business, entrepreneurialism, science and technology as well because the elevated cannabis culture doesn't define themselves by what they smoke. Check out this week's bonus episode to find out how you to can become Civilized.   In this episode Derek tells us about his steps into the digital publication world. We here how civilized leverages both Derek's home base of Los Angeles and his hometown of Saint John, New Brunswick. We here how Derek's knack of spotting trends led him to launching Civilized. Derek tells us about a unique, and early opportunity to talk with singer Melissa Etheridge about her new brand of cannabis infused wines. Derek tells us about his success with finding start-up investment and how you still have the opportunity to get in at the ground floor. We also learn about the amazing team of content creators and advisors that Derek was able to gather. Dave is inspired by Derek's capability to see an opportunity and seize it. He also appreciates Derek's choice to find opportunities around the world but to include his hometown in the execution. Greg notes that Derek has proven that things like this can be done and quickly.   Links - Civilized Website - Civilized on Facebook - Civilized on Twitter - Revolution Strategy - The Real Houses of...

Introducing Derek Riedle Sometimes every entrepreneur needs a change.  It could be just a change of scenery, or a shift in mindset.  Derek Riedle recently made a change that involved both.  Derek and his wife Terri are the owners of the marketing and PR firm, Revolution Strategy, as well as the content creative company Talons of Venice, and also under their portfolio is a real estate business called Riedle Urban Spaces.  Derek and Terri had spent around 18 years working within and growing their businesses, but they were keen for a change.  The first step was for Derek to stop working within the business and to shift gears in order to work on the business.  This gave Derek the room to think and further develop the business.  It also gave him the idea that he wanted to develop a product that he could build and then sell multiple times.  Through the Talons of Venice and with our host, Greg Hemmings, Derek helped to develop a new television series “The Real Houses of…” using the freeing strategy he had used to further develop Revolution.  Derek and Terri took a further leap into their new lifestyle when they decided to pull up anchor and move to Venice Beach, California to further accomplish their goals. This week's episode is for anyone who had a vision for his or her future and may have not taken that great leap.  You can do it!    In this episode Derek explains his reasoning to making the leap from the Maritimes to L.A. He further explains how his connections in New Brunswick and Maritimer way have been great advantages in California.  He also tells us how leaving his area code offered him more perspective. Derek explains the feeling of being mid-air between trapeze wires during his transition, and how being outside his comfort zone is his true comfort zone. Greg and Derek reminisce about the creative session they had to come up with Real Houses. Greg also tells the story of when his employees approached him to become less of a practitioner and more the visionary, and his thoughts at the time. Greg and Derek also tell us more about the series Derek also alludes to a future start-up, which will be announced on the Boiling Point. Dave appreciates Derek's ability to work outside his comfort zone, and is reminded that everyone needs to realize what it takes to get his or her creative juices flowing. Greg is reminded that having the ability to step away slightly from the business allows brilliant things to happen with the right team.   Links - Derek's Twitter - Derek's Linked In - Derek's Facebook - Revolution Strategy Website - Revolution Strategy Twitter - Talons of Venice Website - Talons of Venice Twitter - Riedle Urban Spaces Website               Learn more about your ad choices.
