My guest today is Darren Bondar, Founder of Spiritleaf - Canada's largest recreational cannabis brand, which he sold in May of 2021 for $131 million dollars.

Not one to sit still, it didn't take long for Darren to start a new company called HEMPALTA - an agricultural technology company focused on innovative hemp processing and product creation. 

During our fun conversation, we cover everything from building brands to building exit strategies. Other topics we cover include:

  • Why it's so important to have a good brand strategy
  • How to set yourself apart from your competition with branded merch
  • The โ€œdoโ€™s and don'tsโ€ of selling a business

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Darren, and hopefully you'll learn a few things to help you with your branding.
