Jim Huffman, CEO of GrowthHit marketing agency and host of the entrepreneur and cutting-edge marketing and business strategy interview podcast “If I Was Starting Today”, sat down with Canna Provisions co-founder and CEO Meg Sanders.

In their fascinating and deeply insightful discussion, Meg and Jim break down how she has been able to create a $40M business without traditional marketing channels from operating with a highly regulated product, and discusses the future of her business as well as Canna Provisions current $10M fundraise for expansion of Canna Provisions cultivation and manufacturing strategies, and more.

Some highlights of the topics covered in the episode:

• Process of starting a business in a pandemic – How Canna Provisions pivoted around the COVID-19 pandemic response by Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker in 2020.
• Switching tracks from consulting to operations – Why a seasoned veteran of the US legal cannabis industry stepped back into operations in Western Massachusetts.
• Cannabis as a retail business – Location, Location, Location…the same rules of real estate success apply for cannabis.
• Creating a different way to transact – Understanding Canna Provisions education and guided-experience shopping and customer experience design.
• How to market in regulated markets – Earned media and SEO, the growth-value of having a media expert on staff for landing top-notch earned content at both the hyper-local and the national level when traditional paid advertising and marketing is generally not an option in regulated markets.
• The challenges of cannabis – How risk tolerance is the backbone to being an operator and successful cannabis business person in the United States.
