The Dime No Exits, No Capital, No Bullsh*t: Seth Yakatan on Cannabis Reality
There’s no exits. There’s no cash. There’s no buyers. So what do you do? Batten down the hatches. Crush your market. Squeeze out the little guys who can’t compete — and wait.
This week, Seth Yakatan returns to discuss the following:

• Why cannabis can’t hit reset like other industries
• What operators need to do right now to survive
