There was a time when any mention of the word marijuana was made in hushed tones. Not anymore. With cannabis use legal in more and more places, the questions have arisen about whether it’s a legit business. To date, approximately 13 of the 50 United States have made it legal for qualified patients to use marijuana for medical reasons. Because of that, more and more enterprising people have begun to wonder how to turn that reality into a profitable business.

Some people say cold calling is dead , so many new business owners shy away from giving it a try. The technique often gets a bad rap because entrepreneurs and salespeople don’t put in the time and effort to prepare for and deliver their cold calls effectively. That’s a shame, because it can open doors to decision makers, and begin business relationships on a positive and productive note.

The Forrest Four-Cast: May 30, 2017 Yesterday’s anti-sanctuary bill protests as well as threats of violence demonstrate the extent of the divisive climate created by Texas lawmakers during its trainwreck of an 85th legislative session, which mercifully closed at the end of the day on Monday, May 29. To his credit, however, Governor Greg Abbott has helped to bring a degree of unity within one notoriously fractured group — the tech industry.

I recently spent time with a hedge fund manager who asked for counsel on how he could identify macro trends (especially technology macro trends) which he could use to generate investment ideas. The deck below summarizes my recommendations. This overlaps with my research on origination for private equity/VC funds and how enterprises can identify the most relevant parts of the innovation economy.

Even experienced entrepreneurs and business owners often struggle when building a strong cultural foundation for their businesses. In fact, some business owners don’t fully understand why it’s important for a company to have a strong culture or what makes a culture strong.

The visitor initiates his journey through the conversion funnel, but he never completes it.

I always love being a guest on someone’s podcast. And while most of the content I produce is written, the idea of producing some audio conversations has always appealed to me. So I decided to try something new: 11 Minute Chats. Why 11 minutes? It’s just long enough to have a decent chat about an issue, but not so long that its hard for someone to commit to listening to.
