On episode 118, we had the amazing opportunity to sit down with Melissa, Ashleen & Rileigh from Take Root! These 3 ladies are truly creating what they wish existed in this world through their business. They noticed something MISSING within the cannabis industry in Washington state, where cannabis has been legalized for almost a decade, & they decided to do something about it through their business, Take Root!
Throughout the episode, Melissa, Ashleen & Rileigh not only educate us a TON on the cannabis industry & cannabis in general, but they also bring us in on HOW they are truly making their mark in their own unique & very NEEDED way!
We truly view all 3 of these ladies as such SHINING examples of what it means to break the mold in YOUR industry with your SOLUTION when you notice a PROBLEM.
Beyond that, we also got into an AMAZING discussion about what it's like to collaborate within your business when you have business partners! There are highs & lows within that journey & we truly found so much fulfillment getting to chat with them about this topic!
Before diving into the episode, let's get to know these ladies real quick!
Meet the three canna-bosses from SW Washington, who turned their passion for cannabis and entrepreneurship into a thrilling venture, Ashleen, Rileigh, and Melissa! Together, they created the groundbreaking cannabis education company known as "Take Root." This dynamic trio takes pride in offering budtenders and dispensaries top-notch cannabis science, customer service, and sales education.
Their mission? Revolutionize the cannabis industry through the power of education, infusing every lesson with entertaining, need-to-know content. Their programs can take a novice cannabis enthusiast and turn them into an industry expert. But here's the real deal - Take Root's got some serious magic up its sleeve. Their innovative business model grants the canna-bosses the freedom to dive into other thrilling endeavors. They've nailed the art of work-life balance, creating a work environment that's fun, productive, and expansive. This minority and women owned business is changing the way business is done & viewed. Long gone are the days of "hustle culture" and doing business from a masculine energy.
