Episode 224: Big Mike of Advanced Nutrients on Building World-Class Teams and Uniting Cannabis
Big Mike of Advanced Nutrients joins the podcast to discuss the future of cannabis, the importance of building world-class teams, and why industry-wide collaboration may be the key to long-term success. While alcohol and tobacco industries have benefited from unified advocacy and cooperation, Big Mike argues that cannabis remains too fragmented. He shares his vision for the One Plant Alliance, an initiative designed to bring the hemp and cannabis sectors together under a common purpose. According to Big Mike, true passion for the plant means putting collaboration ahead of competition. The conversation also explores Advanced Nutrients' global expansion, with the company now operating in 122 countries and experiencing 53% growth across Europe. Big Mike discusses emerging markets, the challenges and opportunities facing cultivators, and what it takes to scale a cannabis business on a global level. Plus, hear about the company's breakthrough octoploid genetics technology, which is producing 30-50% higher yields and could significantly impact the future of cultivation. Watch now for an in-depth conversation on innovation, leadership, global growth, and the next evolution of the cannabis industry.

Episode 221: Rob Pero from the ICIA discusses inaugural presence at MJBizCon
Rob Pero discusses key barriers tribal nations face when entering the cannabis and hemp industries, emphasizing that elders are increasingly recognizing economic opportunities despite initial skepticism. A major challenge is finding trustworthy, vetted consultants to execute plans, which ICIA is addressing by curating a network of credible vendors. The speaker explains how recent federal hemp amendments have created regulatory complexities but also opportunities for tribes to establish their own codes and ordinances, potentially positioning them uniquely in the market. Drawing from Wisconsin's fragmented landscape of hemp availability without recreational or medical access, the speaker highlights ongoing efforts like the Wisconsin Wellness coalition to advance medicinal legalization despite political divisions. They discuss the challenges of cannabis legalization in Wisconsin, where Republicans favor medicinal use while Democrats push for full legalization. They emphasize the urgent need for medical protections to prevent criminalization. When asked about staying motivated through exhaustion, they highlight the power of community conversations and industry collaboration. The speakers mention upcoming events including the Reservation Economic Summit in Vegas, where indigenous cannabis has recently gained recognition as an economic development topic. They note that over one hundred of the 574 federally recognized tribes are engaged in cannabis or hemp enterprises, representing significant momentum for indigenous cannabis initiatives.

Episode 219: How Cannabis Cultivators are Solving the Microbial Contamination Crisis
Microbial contamination is quietly costing cannabis cultivators up to 15–20% of their harvest, but new technology is changing that. In Episode 219, Arthur D. Cordova, CEO of Zeal, explains how radio frequency decontamination uses the plant’s natural moisture to eliminate mold and pathogens without damaging product quality. Drawing from decades in food safety, Cordova breaks down how this “pasteurization for cannabis” is gaining traction in Europe and among Canadian exporters, and why growers are shifting from stigma to safety-first solutions.WEBSITE: https://cannatechtoday.com/Make sure to follow our other social media platforms to stay up-to-date on all things Cannabis & Tech Today.https://twitter.com/cannatechtodayhttps://www.facebook.com/CannaTechTodayhttps://www.instagram.com/cannatechtoday
