Liesl Bernard’s Post

2023 was a tough year for cannabis and was marked by developments that created a tough business environment including a shrinking workforce, license declines, plateauing sales and diminished stock valuations. However, 2024 offers some hope: ∙ Industry seeing a bottom and rebounding into a stronger market with fewer competitors ∙ The DEA possibly rescheduling cannabis to make it federally legal, opening incredible new market opportunities, and eliminating 280e. ∙ Market attractiveness when the cannabis industry becomes a growth market On Thursday February 22nd, Ed Keating, Co-Founder of Cannabiz Media will lead a discussion with industry leaders on how they survived 2023 and hear what they plan for 2024. Joining Ed will be industry leaders: ∙        Kevin Hart, CEO Green Check Verified ∙        Brett Harris, CEO Luvbuds ∙        Jacques Santucci, President Opus Consulting ∙        Liesl Bernard Bernhard, CEO Kalon / Cannabizteam Executive Search and Staffing ∙        Kaliko Castille, Former President Minority Cannabis Business Association FREE Registration @ thecannabischamber.com

Part 2 of my discussion with visionary leader Otha Smith III. In this segment Otha shares his work behind the scenes ensuring that social equity businesses are set up for success with programs designed to ensure back office and fundamental business operations training is made available. It's not just about getting a license it's about the support needed to succeed, scale and thrive in the highly competitive cannabis space. #cannabisindustry #cannabis #socialequity
