This week I have the pleasure of bringing you Erich and David of FlowGardens, a Tennessee based company that is cultivating the widest variety and highest quality smokeable "hemp flower" I've ever come across. I use quotes because calling this hemp does not do it justice...this is potent, high quality cannabis. The flower they're growing is rich with terpenes, flavonoids, phytocannabinoids and all checks in under 0.3% THC. Best of all, it's all perfectly legal under the 2018 Farm Bill that allowed for "hemp" production and can be derived right to your home.

We discuss:

• Tennessee laws, education and activism
• Cultivation practices - hydroponic vs soil
• Hunting for unique and quality phenotypes
• Exploring lesser known cannabinoids like CBC and CBG
• Runaway THC levels and the importance of cannabinoid balance

Scott is a serial entrepreneur with a creative mind and a soulful demeanor. He started his latest company ZIPPZ a few years after exiting his last company when anxiety and restlessness began to set in as it does for so many lifelong entrepreneurs. A buddy suggested he try cannabis to ease the anxiety and he was appalled by his dispensary experience and set out to solve a very significant problem within the medical cannabis industry. So ZIPPZ was born.

By teaming up with experts across a few different fields, he was able to create a very unique product that blends traditional botanicals with cannabinoids. After trying ZIPPZ myself for sleep, I’m a fan.

Adam Bierman is a man that needs little introduction if you've been paying attention to the cannabis industry over the last decade. As the founder and CEO of Med Men, Adam and his company were the first to accomplish many feats in the world of cannabis, including the first billion dollar valuation in the industry. He's since left Med Men, but is still very involved in all things cannabis and continues to push the limits of what's possible in this space.

I feel honored that Adam took the time to sit down with me and candidly share his experience as the tip of the spear of a new industry, constantly pushing boundaries and taking his share of heat along the way. He was also extremely humble and forthcoming about his thoughts on the controversy that seemed to follow him everywhere he went.

Adam's a bold business man, unafraid to speak his mind and potentially make folks uncomfortable in order to bring his vision to fruition. At the same time, he's clearly a dedicated father and husband, committed to his and his family's wellness. I, for one, cannot wait to see what he brings to the industry next.

See what Adam's up to on the socials:
