Blunt Business welcomes Joe Bayern, the CEO of MM Brands to discuss how the cannabis industry is approaching a potential turning point as DOJ and DEA hearings conclude this July, with anticipation high for a move to Schedule 3 classification. This reclassification could eliminate 280E tax constraints, driving better profitability, while FDA validation of therapeutic benefits promises to reduce stigma and build consumer trust. Despite this momentum, the sector faces significant headwinds, specifically a critical shortage of experienced middle management and the ongoing difficulty of maintaining quality control and compliance amidst fragmented, state-specific regulations.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Fast Lane with Ed Lane: Friday, July 10, 2026
Recorded live at the Retail Collective Summit, this dynamic panel features top state legislators, federal economic advocates, former regulatory chiefs, and prominent venture capital moderators addressing the macro-economic realities of scaling private enterprises. The discussion dives deep into the shifting landscape of corporate funding, uncovering how single-family offices are increasingly acting as direct institutional investors to bypass traditional venture capital bottlenecks. Speakers outline the critical need to transition funding models from traditional enterprise software toward advanced manufacturing and hard technology, shortening volatile supply chains to build a more durable, locally resilient infrastructure. The conversation also tackles the complex tensions between localized regulatory sandbox programs and the massive paperwork burdens imposed by federal agencies on small business operators. Looking firmly 20 to 30 years into the future, the panelists confront the hot-button issue of energy grid infrastructure and mega data center development. They map out the precise policy frameworks required to manage critical minerals and advanced technological disruptions without exhausting local energy or water supplies. It is an essential masterclass on maintaining an elite economic outlook while scaling capital, culture, and community on a global stage.

Are you a grandparent fighting to legally adopt your grandchild, drowning in red tape and wondering if the finish line will ever come?

Do you long for the day you can finally just parent—no more last-minute visits or home inspections, no more lingering uncertainty?I'm Laura Brazan, and I know how heavy the “club sandwich” of multigenerational caretaking can feel.

Send us Fan MailAI initiatives rarely fail because the technology isn't powerful enough. More often, they stall long before delivering measurable impact, stuck in pilot mode due to gaps in data readiness, architecture, and long-term sustainability.In this episode of Exchanges with Hitachi Solutions, I sat down with Evan Sotos, Senior Manager of Engineering, to break down the three most common hurdles that slow AI progress, and how organizations can move through them faster. From unclear data foundations to time-consuming infrastructure work and ongoing maintenance fatigue, these challenges are familiar to any team trying to operationalize AI.Evan shares a practical perspective shaped by real-world implementations, along with how the Hitachi Unified Data Accelerator helps organizations bypass months of setup and complexity. By providing a proven foundation, built on best practices, flexible architecture, and preconfigured connectivity, teams can spend less time standing up environments and more time actually using their data to drive outcomes.This conversation sets the stage for what it really takes to move from experimentation to execution, and how to build an AI foundation that's designed to scale.Key TakeawaysAI Stalls at the Starting LineMost AI projects don't fail because of weak models. Instead, they stall because the data isn't ready. As a result, teams get stuck before they can show real business value.Data Readiness Is OngoingThere's no finish line for data readiness. Instead, it depends on the outcomes you want to drive. As goals change, your data needs to evolve with them.Setup Slows ProgressBefore AI can deliver value, teams must build the foundation. That includes setting up environments, connecting data, and testing models. However, this work can take months and delay impact.Governance Enables ScaleAs AI expands, so does access to data. Therefore, strong governance is critical. Teams need clear controls for access, security, and data lineage to reduce risk.Manual Work Holds Teams BackMuch of the effort goes into building and maintaining pipelines. Because of this, teams spend less time solving real business problems with data.A Faster Way to Get StartedThe Hitachi Unified Data Accelerator helps teams move faster. It brings together best practices, proven architecture, and prebuilt connectors. As a result, organizations can skip setup and focus on outcomes.Less Maintenance, More ImpactInstead of adding another layer of work, the accelerator reduces it. For example, it minimizes ongoing fixes and updates. This allows teams to focus on insights and innovation.global.hitachi-solutions.com
A March 2025 memo from Assistant Attorney General Andrew Krawczyk warns there is a "realistic possibility" a Washington State wealth tax would be struck down under the constitution's uniformity clause. The $50 million threshold exemption and out-of-state tax credits pose the greatest legal risk, the memo states. Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon says the House has no plans to advance a wealth tax in 2027. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/ago-memo-says-realistic-possibility-a-wealth-tax-would-be-overturned/ #WealthTax #WashingtonState #StatePolitics #AGOMemo #TaxPolicy #WaLeg #UniformityClause #ThecenterSquare

Key Highlights 1️⃣ Overcoming Imposter Syndrome – Why even experienced clinicians battle self-doubt and how to push past it. 2️⃣ Mindset Shifts for Success – The role of mental resilience, preparation, and repetition in mastering full-arch cases. 3️⃣ Lessons from Experience & Mentorship – Why confidence is built over time and how learning from past cases and mentors accelerates growth.
Send us Fan MailObtaining justice in court is a never-ending process of learning; self-development; blood, sweat and tears; self discovery; inter-discovery; often deep pain that can transform into strength and growth, but often with more pain along the way; banding together with birds of a feather; and giving back what we have learned. Texas criminal defense lawyer -- moved recently from Houston to Maryland -- Eric J. Davis (until he has a website, reachable at eric.davis@gmx.us and 713-227-2727) believes strongly in giving back what he has learned, and in integrating what he learns into what he already knows, rather than shedding valuable experience and ability with the latest teachings. Fairfax, Virginia criminal defense lawyer Jon Katz met Eric at the spring 2026 National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers program, and learned that Eric, like Jon, is a Trial Lawyers College alum, where Eric is on the TLC board and staff. Eric is also a member of the NACDL board of directors. He states straight out that the criminal justice system evolved out of racism, and finds positive ways to deal with that, including bringing race to the attention of jurors so that they will help criminal defendants when they spot racial bias and unfairness. Eric is full of optimistic energy and fight, including in talking about his acquittal for a firearm defendant by focusing on how police rushed to judgment and narrowed themselves to finding evidence to prove him guilty, rather than considering other possible suspects after finding a firearm in an empty vehicle. Eric talks about how his experience with the Trial Lawyers College and its focus on psychodrama and storytelling helped him feel freer in pursuing justice for his clients, including focusing on the emotions of the case, the emotions of the jurors and of the actors in the case and their motivations for how they acted. Eric tells a great personal story during jury selection / voir dire to inspire them to be open about racial issues -- rather than expecting to transform their prejudices in the short timespan of a trial -- by recounting how he had his defenses up when walking to fill his empty gas tank when a truck with an older white driver slowed down, and how the driver -- after they learned how much they had in common -- told Eric how he at first thought Eric was up to no good, and Eric confessed to having first had the same view of the truck driver. And then Eric asks the jurors about any assumptions they are making about race, to start the discussion. Pure brilliance. Rules that help for a fair trial for a criminal defendant are great, but often are few and far between, and are not always sufficiently enforced. That is why I prominently display a Gladiator film clip board in my office, as a reminder of how Russell Crowe's Maximus Decimus Meridius and his teammates win despite the absence of any rules protecting them, and despite the lowest and basest violence from their opponents. Eric Davis reminds us that we can win justice for criminal defendants even when the rules do not appear to be in our favor nor to be sufficiently enforced when those rules are favorable to criminal defendants. He starts by diving deep into the jury selection process, with conversations in which he steers guilty verdict-leaning jurors closer to his side, sometimes by adding one variation to the conversation at a time. (See minute 29 in his presentation here.) We can open and widen avenues to acquittal. This Beat the Prosecution episode is also available on YouTube and Apple podcasts.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, the latest ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel faces an early test as Iran and Hezbollah insist any lasting agreement must include a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory. We also look at mounting pressure on Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, where US military aircraft are occupying large parts of the country's main aviation hub, disrupting operations and reducing commercial capacity. US President Donald Trump says negotiations to end the war with Iran have reached their “final” stage, while criticising efforts in Congress to limit presidential war powers. In the UAE, authorities introduce tougher penalties for companies that repeatedly delay salary payments, including fines, work permit suspensions and potential travel bans for managers. And Dubai launches the SME in a Box initiative, a new programme designed to help entrepreneurs start businesses faster and at lower costs through a single access platform. Trending Middle East is AI-assisted, using original reporting published in The National and curated and edited by humans.

A series of legal blows against the President set off a firestorm of angry social media posts over the weekend. Among the legal troubles President Trump finds himself in is the settlement between the President -- as a private citizen -- and the President -- meaning the federal government. A federal judge has essentially reopened the president's lawsuit against the IRS, investigating allegations of fraud surrounding the settlement of the case. Greg and Holly discuss this development, as well as another legal order demanding the President remove his name from the Kennedy Performing Arts Center.
Brent crude has recovered to around $93.50/bbl after falling below $90 last week on optimism that a US-Iran ceasefire agreement could ease tensions in the Gulf. However, reports of further negotiations, renewed military action around the Strait of Hormuz, and concerns over mine clearance have tempered expectations of a swift resolution.

The episode details a tightening regulatory environment driven by new enforcement timelines for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), altering how MSPs and IT service providers are expected to deliver both compliance and operational services for U.S. defense contractors. Structural pressure stems from the Department of Defense making CMMC Level 2 compliance a contractual mandate for approximately 300,000 defense contractors, shifting risk and accountability towards providers who manage compliance workflows, technical environments, and client behaviors. C3 Integrated Solutions and their dual CMMC Level 2 certifications exemplify this transition, with clear implications for co-ownership of compliance outcomes and increased scrutiny on provider practices. The most consequential development is the substantial gap between compliance requirements and the current readiness of the defense contractor base. As of early 2026, only around 8% of contractors have obtained CMMC Level 2 certification, despite enforcement being implemented in contracts starting in November of the same year, according to Dave and Jason. Challenges arise from cost, organizational bandwidth, and complexity, with MSPs serving as pivotal partners to small subcontractors lacking in-house resources for process documentation and change management. Assessment scheduling bottlenecks and insufficient documentation are delaying certifications, increasing risk that many contractors and their service partners will miss the rapidly approaching deadlines. Related developments reinforce the central issue of operational risk and governance complexity. Jason Tierney illustrates the difference between technical compliance and true assessment readiness, citing real-world examples where insufficient evidence and poor understanding of process details lead to significant assessment delays. The rise of compliance-as-a-service offerings, enclave computing environments, and specialized governance tooling are attempts to address those gaps, but also introduce new layers of pricing, platform selection, and accountability concerns, especially when third-party tools fail to meet strict requirements such as FedRAMP moderate for handling sensitive data. For MSPs and IT leaders, the shift imposes higher barriers to entry, increased legal and contractual exposure, more rigorous documentation and process controls, and the need for customized delivery models that support both technical defenses and organizational behavior change. Providers must navigate conflicting requirements between specialized regulatory environments and multi-tenant tooling, manage escalating costs for both themselves and clients, and clarify responsibility boundaries in shared compliance scenarios. The requirement for human oversight—particularly in automated or AI-assisted compliance tooling—remains non-negotiable, reflecting the ongoing gap between technical implementation and credible assessment outcomes.

Three years ago, a new federal designation for rural hospitals went into effect, allowing facilities to receive enhanced support for outpatient and emergency services if they gave up their more expensive inpatient care.The rural emergency hospital provider type is meant to support small rural facilities amid challenges like lower volume, aging populations and rising costs. As the designation gains traction in Oklahoma, some providers said it has become a lifeline for their facilities, which would otherwise close. But critics argue there is a need for other solutions.Mentioned in this episode:Social Media tags
