The push to legalize recreational marijuana in Delaware has been going on for almost a decade, and despite previous vetoes by Governor Carney, it has passed within the legislature again. But what would the impact of legal, recreational marijuana be for Delawareans? At the table we have Peter S. Murphy from Saul Ewing, LLP—a lawyer who advises cannabis industry clients on licensing applications and compliance,—and John Gooden, president and COO of M. Davis & Sons. This episode explores what the new Delaware “green rush” might mean, both for employers who may have hesitations and for those who are ready to join the industry. NOTE: This episode was filmed prior to the passage of House Bill 1 & 2. As of April 1, 2023, both bills are waiting for action by Governor John Carney.

As a long time UFC fan, this was a particularly fun episode for me. John has been the face of the UFC in the UK for 6 years and hosts Inside the Octagon with Dan Hardy. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge in MMA and it was great to speak with him about the upcoming UFC 249. We also discussed how he's staying active during lockdown, family, watching Conor McGregor's ascension and his road to the UFC. It was a real pleasure to speak with him and I hope you enjoy the episode.

John Gooden is a commentator for the UFC, he does most of the international shows that the organization puts on. He is also a strong nominee for the nicest bloke (man, in American) I've talked to but perhaps it's the accent. We spoke about the MMA world in general and the UFC specifically and how he came to work for the biggest organization in MMA after years of working for his dad. We spoke about how hard work is the only way to fulfill your dreams in the age of social media and like culture. John is a solid example of how hard work and perfecting your craft eventually pay off and I hope you guys enjoy the episode as much as I did.
