Mainstream Media's Disconnect with the Cannabis Industry ft. Rena Sherbill Senior Editor at Seeking Alpha and host of The Cannabis Investing Podcast. This week we are joined by Rena Sherbill, Senior Editor at Seeking Alpha and host of The Cannabis Investing Podcast. Bryan, Kellan, and Rena discuss: Why are US cannabis companies compared to Canadian cannabis companies? Should they be compared? Why or why not? Is mainstream media responsible for how US & Canadian cannabis companies are compared? In what ways has mainstream media influenced investors and other business professionals in regard to the cannabis industry? How can mainstream media change the stigma around the cannabis industry? What challenges accompany this? How can those challenges be overcome? When do you predict US cannabis companies will be participating in the Global Cannabis Market? How will US cannabis companies move forward with this goal in mind? What will the "big fish" look like at the early stages of the United States' federally legal cannabis industry? What US-based cannabis company is next to make a big play overseas? What are some of the largest misconceptions you face about being a professional in the cannabis industry? What US-based cannabis company will be "mainstream" within the next 6-12 months?
