Episode 2 "Back to...?"
Welcome to Episode 2! In this session, the Gang discusses going back to... …what exactly?! The New Normal: Seasons are changing but some things stay the same Our cultural touchstones haven’t been removed entirely, but they’re temporarily suspended at best. This “holding pattern” that so many of us are living & working through is a particularly engaging area of discussion at the moment, and we'll take a peek behind the curtain of a small business. We'll also examine how consumers are choosing to spend their money during the pandemic, and the amazing resilience of cannabis cultivators.
