Rebel Rabbit THC Seltzer Is My New Go To
I don't know about you, but I have a hard time turning my brain off at night when it's time to chill and get to bed.
Previously, I used to smoke traditional cannabis. But I was still waking up a little too stoned to function. And for someone who gets his day going at 4am, that's a problem.
Then I found Rebel Rabbit's Delta 8 & 9 THC Seltzer. GAME CHANGER.
It allows me to chill out, and turn off my brain, but still be 100% the next morning.
So I asked the founders to come on the podcast and talk shop.

Matt Becker and the Gym Lawyers

Unfortunately, most small business owners would rather go to Google before speaking to an actual law-practicing professional. Matt and his team are working to ensure that your opportunity to get legal advice is more accessible and less foreign than it has been historically.

Endurance Training and Business Analysis w/ Jason Khalipa
Jason and I get on the mic to talk about our recent fitness endeavors and play a game of Vulnerabilities and Opportunities - where we look at different businesses and industries (including our own) and identify their vulnerabilities & opportunities of them from our perspective.

Vulnerabilities & Opportunities
This is a fun game I like to play when I first encounter a business or service/product category. I'm going to walk you through how I think about these two aspects of our businesses (and others) and hopefully get you in the habit of constantly analyzing the opportunities and vulnerabilities we see in the marketplace.
