What does cannabis licensing consulting mean

What happens when your perfectly timed, booming consulting niche suddenly goes bust? Dr. Sherry Boodram and Dr. Lucas McCann, co-founders of the cannabis consulting firm CannDelta, join Michael to share their incredible journey of navigating a volatile industry. They launched their firm from a kitchen table during the "green rush" of Canadian cannabis legalization, quickly growing to a profitable, 20-person team with phones ringing off the hook. But when the market cooled and the inbound leads dried up, they were forced to make a bold choice: adapt or die.

Sherry and Lucas detail their strategic and risky pivot into the complex, state-by-state U.S. market. They reveal the multi-channel marketing machine they built from scratch to overcome the "buy local" bias - from a complete rebrand and "boots on the ground" presence to a sophisticated content and SEO strategy. Tune in now for a masterclass in resilience, strategic risk-taking, and building a thriving firm by knowing exactly when and how to pivot.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• Launching and scaling a firm in a brand-new, rapidly growing industry.
• Recognizing the early warning signs of a market downturn.
• The strategic pivot from a national market to a complex international one.
• Overcoming the "buy local" bias when expanding into a new country.
• Building a multi-channel client acquisition strategy from scratch.
• The high ROI of a "boots on the ground" and in-person event strategy.
• Combining SEO, content marketing, and strategic partnerships to generate leads.
• Why taking calculated financial risks is essential for long-term survival.
• Navigating complex, multi-layered regulatory and compliance challenges.
• The role of fitness and a resilient mindset in entrepreneurial success.
