After a short break, the Call Your Next Witness podcast is back, with our first in a series of cannabis-related interviews.
<p dir="ltr" data-test-bidi="">The Cannabis Industry was taboo as recently as 10 years ago. But now, not only is it a blossoming industry, but its becoming mainstream to the point where attorney and insurance conventions are including presentations specific to cannabis and how to insure that risk.</p>
<p dir="ltr" data-test-bidi="">But how does one actually get into the commercial cannabis space, and what is the day-to-day like? Ryan Eakes, Chief Operating Office of <strong><a href="https://typhoonfarma.com/">Typhoon Farma</a></strong>, a hemp farm in western Colorado, offers some great insight into those questions through his own journey. With a background in construction and business development -- not in agriculture -- Ryan jumped on an opportunity to get into the cannabis and hemp world on the ground floor. Ryan encounters daily challenges that are truly unique to the cannabis industry, especially given the ever-changing regulatory framework he has to navigate.
