Welcome to this transformative episode of the Kaya Cast Podcast, where we delve into the exhilarating world of scaling cannabis businesses. In today's session, we're joined by Leah Heise, the seasoned cannabis expert from Wolf Meyer, who brings her extensive background in scaling multi-faceted cannabis operations to the forefront.Leah shares her incredible journey, starting from her role in helping establish and scale the operations at Forefront—an endeavor that catapulted the company to a public exit within just over two years. She articulates the rapid challenges faced during such fast-paced growth, including the crucial development of infrastructure across departments like finance, compliance, and human resources amidst incessant acquisitions.Key to our discussion is the importance of building robust organizational structures, understanding the nuances of communication within expanding teams, and navigating the pitfalls common in the race to revenue and public listings. Leah's insights on implementing solid decision-making frameworks, such as RACI models, which clarify roles and drive efficient team dynamics, are particularly enlightening.Moreover, Leah stresses the transformational potential of proper scaling strategies—emphasizing how even a business poised on the brink of operational chaos can systemize towards success when coherent plans and scalable infrastructures are set in place.Whether you're running a startup that's hitting its first $15 million mark or steering an established entity towards $100 million, the principles revealed in this episode are golden. Also, Leah touches upon the shifting dynamics of the cannabis industry and offers a seasoned perspective on mergers, acquisitions, and the critical assessments prospective buyers should undertake.For all cannabis entrepreneurs, investors, and enthusiasts aiming to understand the critical elements of scaling up without losing control, this episode with Leah Heise is an indispensable resource.

Thorsten Pattberg discusses the struggle between East and West and how after having dominated for centuries, the West is now giving way as Asia returns to the forefront. He comments on the subversion carried out in the East by "Western press soldiers," how there is an informational iron curtain coming down, and whether he sees military conflict in the cards. China is advancing in tech and has had to struggle to keep Western globalization from encroaching on its own culture. He also refers to the EU as the Fourth Reich!

"Just talk about it, normally. Having more open conversations about mental health, bringing it up more, allows people to be more comfortable and open to talking about that topic. Since it can be really hard, the more regular that it is, the easier that it is to talk about." Teens have a lot to teach us, when we're ready to listen.  Every year, Forefront in the Schools welcomes nearly 150 students and staff from schools across the Puget Sound region for the Day of Hope summit at University of Washington. Hailing from Kennedy Catholic High School, Muckleshoot Tribal School, Shorecrest, South Whidbey High School, Mt. Si, Roosevelt High School, The Bush School, Evergreen Public Schools, Lakewood School District, Ballard High School and Eastside Catholic and more, student advocates gather to share their work on comprehensive suicide prevention in their communities, including stories of belonging, care, and resilience.

A Fresno mobile home park has become ground zero in a fight to save one of the last bastions of affordable housing in California. But residents there are facing an uncertain future as they wait for a federal judge to decide who will take control of the place they call home: another corporate landlord or an affordable housing non-profit. Reporter: Madi Bolanos, The California Report Thousands of people in the Bay Area joined protesters across the country over the weekend in taking to the streets to demonstrate against President Trump and Elon Musk, saying they're taking the country in the wrong direction.

He also serves as President of the International Society of Political Psychology. His research focuses in particular on the nature of ideology and belief systems, the psychological foundations of political preferences, and intergroup attitudes. He is co-author of Open Versus Closed: Personality, Identity, and the Politics of Redistribution, and a co-editor of the volumes At the Forefront of Political Psychology: Essays in Honor of John L. Sullivan, and The Political Psychology of Democratic Citizenship. In this episode, we start by talking about the foundations of political preferences, and liberal and conservative attitudes. We discuss an elite-driven view of ideological belief systems. We talk about the phenomenon of collective narcissism, and how it relates to in-group satisfaction, nationalism, and perceptions that the 2020 election in the US was illegitimate. We also talk about collective self-esteem, ideological uncertainty, and the link between religiosity and political ideology. Finally, we discuss the phenomenon of feelings of group-extinction threat, and how (white) people react to their perceived numerical decline.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Today we're talking to a production company heavy-hitter: Dustin Callif, President of TOOL of North America about the innovation of A.I. integration into filmmaking and advertising - done the right way.Dustin provides an “open source” approach to the tools he and his team have utilized in their approach to AI-driven campaigns. He touches on the ethical considerations surrounding this technology, and how they're blending traditional and AI-driven creative processes into the work.He discusses a few of TOOL's case studies, which you can find on TOOL's website, including how they created a commercial for Under Armour in just four weeks without the actual talent. He also discusses the evolving legal landscape of AI-generated content, and how TOOL is identifying and connecting top AI talent with leading agencies and brands in a way that benefits artists and creatives. A current saying is: The AI train is moving, and you can either hop on or get left behind. So, whether you're a filmmaker, marketer, or simply curious about where this train is heading -  I think you'll enjoy this insightful conversation with Dustin Callif. Links:Ad Age's Editor Pick: AI Pipeline for Starbust | Case StudyUnder Armour - Forever is Made Now | Case StudyEpisode Edited by Dylan Giovanettowww.dylangio.com | dylgio@gmail.comIf you want a shoutout in a future episode please leave us a written review on Apple podcasts.

Act+Acre's husband-and-wife founders were early to the growth of the scalp-care market when they launched their brand in 2019 with one product: a $48 prewash treatment called Scalp Detox Oil.  “[Scalp care] was definitely an afterthought for people [a few years ago],” brand founder and hairstylist Helen Reavey told Glossy. “Launching it in 2019, we were one of the first to solely think about scalp care the way skin care had come up and was so personalized, and we took that approach. It's not a one-size-fits-all for the scalp.” Reavey has seen the effects of poor scalp care throughout her 15-year career as a celebrity and editorial hairstylist — most notably during fashion month, when models' hair is routinely overworked backstage until their scalps become sensitive to the touch. “I had that moment where I was like, ‘I wish I could give them something to remove everything and to really start with a fresh canvas,'" she said. “It was that moment [where we said], ‘OK, we should do this; we should launch a brand.'”  Reavey is also a certified trichologist, a specialization focused on the treatment and health of the hair and scalp. She launched Act+Acre with husband and business partner Colm Mackin, who now serves as CEO.  Now an award-winning hero product for the brand, Scalp Detox is one of 25 products sold individually and through 10 curated systems made up of individual SKUs. From oil control to hydration to hair growth, they're each designed for a specific concern.  To help consumers navigate the offerings, Act+Acre publishes blog posts and educational content on social media, and offers a 10-plus question quiz on its site to match a consumer with the right products.  Top selling systems include its Stem Cell System, Thick + Full System and Essential Hydration System. Meanwhile, individual bestsellers include Stem Cell Serum for $86 and Daily Hydro Scalp Serum for $24.  The line is sold DTC and through Sephora, Revolve, Bluemercury, Amazon, Dermstore, Anthropologie and TikTok Shop, among other channels. The brand does 60% of its business DTC and has a 50% subscription rate within that cohort, Mackin told Glossy.  Several products are also recognized by the National Psoriasis Foundation for being safe for those with psoriasis.  “People are definitely starting to understand that the scalp is a foundation for healthy hair, and that comes across in all of our messaging,” Reavey told Glossy.  Act+Acre's latest launch, a two-step shampoo and treatment, is focused on hard water buildup, which impacts the majority of U.S. consumers. High levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium in tap water can build up in the hair and cause brittleness and discoloration, especially on color-treated hair. “I don't think people were really understanding that hard water was this silent destructor,” Reavey told Glossy. The brand's Clarifying Hard Water Shampoo sells for $32, while the Clarifying Hard Water Scalp Treatment goes for $38.  In this week's episode of The Glossy Beauty Podcast, Reavey and Mackin share insider details on these topics. The duo also discusses the ways they stand out in the market, including through community building, education and customer service.
