We’re taking a look at higher education with Max Simon, CEO & co-founder of Green Flower, the leader in cannabis education. If you’re ready to set yourself up for professional success in the cannabis space, this potcast is for you. It’s also for parents with young, budding ganjapreneurs saying they’d rather work on a regenerative cannabis farm than go to college. And if you’re a cannasseur that wants to take a deeper dive or up-level your bud-tending game, you’ll love the Ganjier certification.
So settle in and let’s elevate your understanding of Higher education. It’s time to get casually baked.
