Politics is a dirty business. Sometimes being feared is the influence you need because access is not the problem. Politicians say "we'll take care of this." Gretchen Gailey has a different approach: stab them in the back, push them down the stairs, and take credit for the fall. It's time to put fear behind cannabis. She spent 20 years on Capitol Hill. She's watched cannabis show up once a year for fly-ins, throw money at the wrong politicians, and wonder why nothing changes. This episode breaks down why incrementalism is the only path, why banking matters more than you think, and why the industry needs to stop picking out curtains when it hasn't built a basement. This week we sit down with Gretchen Gailey: Stab them in the back politics Curtains before basement problem Project Champion playbook   Timestamps: 00:00 - The industry's fundamental misunderstanding about Washington politics 02:35 - Challenges with incrementalism versus desire for rapid change 04:47 - Supporting pro-cannabis politicians like Cynthia Loomis 06:45 - The role of education and public awareness campaigns 10:06 - Building a basic regulatory foundation: banking, safe products, and rescheduling 13:23 - The limitations of state-led models and the need for federal coordination 15:50 - The importance of transparency and federal standards for consumer safety 18:43 - The influence of political operatives and the importance of direct advocacy 22:51 - Using industry tools and data to inform policy and educate policymakers 26:15 - The significance of Congressional engagement and how to make cannabis an urgent issue 30:10 - The importance of political will and executive orders in advancing reform 34:40 - The disconnects within Washington and how industry can better influence policy 37:19 - Opportunities in leveraging symbolism like Veterans issues and Congressional events 41:14 - The disconnect between access and influence, and how to effectively make the case 44:40 - The necessity of creative strategies, public pressure, and celebrity involvement 50:21 - Successful stories: case of Cory Booker and the impact of direct constituent advocacy 52:16 - Final thoughts: how to stay engaged and educate the industry and policymakers Summary:  In this episode, Gretchen Gailey shares over 20 years of experience navigating Washington's complex cannabis legislation.

2.2.25 - "The Goodness of Sex" - Alex Gailey

Genesis 1:26–2:8 (ESV) 26Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”  27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.  28And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”  29And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.  30And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.  31And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.  1Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.  2And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.  3So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.  4These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.  5When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground,  6and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground—  7then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.  8And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

12.22.24 - Revelation 12 - "An Apocalyptic Christmas" - Alex Gailey

Sermon 11.24.24 Advent, the season leading up to the celebration of Christmas in the church calendar, is about Christ “coming.” Advent is latin for “coming.” Christ came as a baby to redeem us. Christ has come in the present of the Holy Spirit to sanctify us. Christ will come as King and Judge to gather us up and to dwell with Him forever. This year we are going to look more deeply at the last of the three: the future coming of Jesus Christ. the Bible is laced with reference to the last days where the full revelation of Christ's glory will be known by all. Matter of fact, NT authors say we are in the last days. This year, I hope that you hear and receive the invitation to consider what His return means for you now. Advent is a time to self-reflect, to repent, and to ready ourselves as we wait for Him. Over the course of this sermon series, we are going to encounter some graphic, intense, future-oriented passages of the Bible. We are given these to stir us up as we look forward to that day with Him. I pray that God would use these scriptures and teachings to create a longing, a love, for his appearing (2Tim 4:8).

Summary: Happy Valentine's Day, friends! While neither Holly nor Devin are superfans of this holiday, they wanted to take some time to highlight marriage with two books this week. Oddly enough, Holly's thriller wheelhouse is chockablock full of married couples on the rocks, but Devin's romance genre almost never centers on a couple that have already found their happily ever after. All told, though, they find the relationship dynamics of a marriage as great drivers of plot and character across genres.    Topics Discussed: The Heart (3:09): Devin discussed The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams, a novel that turns most romance novels on its head by centering on a man working to save his marriage via an unusual book club. Gavin Scott is Nashville Legends second baseman who thinks he has it all - a loving wife, twin daughters, and a career he loves. When Thea admits that their intimate relationship has never satisfied her, he's left desperate and on the path to divorce. To save it, he ends up in a circle of men who read romance novels to give them advice on how to navigate their relationships with their wives. Devin's key takeaways were:  This is the first novel focused on men reading romance stories that Devin has been able to find, and the new perspective on the genre was refreshing and invigorating. She'd rather men not have to read romance novels to act as “manuals” for their own love lives, but hey, she'll take it. Gavin's wife Thea carries trauma that adds feasibility to the storyline. Her sister, however, was so anti-Gavin and pro-divorce that at times it was off-putting and unnatural.  Adams had a feminist focus throughout the book and clearly strove to drive messages home about intimacy, vulnerability, and relationships. It was preachy at times but ultimately the execution on the rest of the novel was a success.  The Dagger (17:44): Holly discussed The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey, a sci-fi novel following Evelyn Caldwell, a scientist who has discovered how to clone human adults. Her recent awards and professional success is marred when she discovers that her soon-to-be ex-husband has been cheating on her… with a clone of herself named Martine. As Evelyn works to process these recent life changes and come to terms with everything, she gets a call one day from a panicked Martine; it turns out Nathan is dead and the two women must come together to clean up the mess and hide the crime. Holly's key takeaways were:  With a fairly unusual premise, this novel dives deeply into key themes and commentary of our society, principally gender norms for women and women in marriage. Gailey explores what it means to be a woman through Evelyn and her clone, a woman re-programmed to be more docile and subservient than Evelyn is naturally.  Through the science of cloning, the reader also confronts ideas and challenges around identity - what makes you, you? What role does biology vs. experience play in making us who we are, and how much of a choice do we have?  Be mindful if you are sensitive to gore, and make sure you listen through the very end of our episode for a spoiler-filled tidbit from Holly that blew Devin's mind!  Hot On the Shelf (35:52): Devin: Lunar Love by Lauren Kung Jessen Holly: Elsewhere by Alexis Schaitkin What's Making Our Hearts Race (38:05): Devin: Glass Onion on Netflix Holly: Fleischman is in Trouble on Hulu    Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com   If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.
