Good Dream or Bad Dream? The Canadian Cannabis Journey isn’t as Dreamy as you think!

The Canadian Cannabis Dream Isn’t So Dreamy. On this episode, I speak to Kelly Mauro about her pursuit of starting a retail cannabis store in Calgary. If you have been paying attention to the rollout of legalization in Canada, you are probably aware that they are in the middle of a huge supply shortage and are having implementation difficulties. What started out as the pursuit of the Canadian cannabis dream, quickly unfolded into the all too familiar cannabis quagmire we see in the states. Sometimes dreams can become nightmares…

Kelly Mauro has over 20 years Sales and Customer Service experience in both Vancouver’s’ Hospitality Industry and Calgary’s Home Building Industry. She has a proven sales track record in everything from estate homes to commercial window coverings, and also hold certifications in Interior Design and Home Inspection.

In 2017 she switched career paths to pursue her dream to open a Retail Cannabis Store in Calgary and became one of the first people in Canada to receive bank support to do so.  With current brick and mortar challenges, Kelly has been consulting in various areas of the industry including technology development for growers in both small and large scale operations across Canada.

Do You Know Rule #1? Always Get Everything in Writing!
Too many people are taken advantage of in the cannabis industry. The more driven they are by compassion, the easier they are to target. Why? Because you don’t hear about it in the news. You don’t hear about it from the victims of such circumstances, be it pride, or a feeling of humiliation/embarrassment, or a lack of substantial proof. All people hear about is the millions made in tax revenue, the billions of dollars the industry is valued at, etc.

Millions of Dollars Lost – Time for Change
2019 was brutal for the cannabis industry in general, but nowhere as much as the publicly traded cannabis companies in Canada. What started out as a booming industry where there seemed to be no ceiling to the amount of money being poured into, and spent by Canadian cannabis companies, ended with a swift dose of reality that growth for the sake of growth, might not have been the best path forward! As the giants continue to eat the promises they made to their investors, Colby McFadden and I discuss the next phases these companies will be going through
