You are going to really enjoy this conversation I had with Jason Wild.

You can listen here on Spotify or Apple.

I will give you one guess which industry he spends most of his time…

This episode is a continuation of my quest to learn more about the growing trend toward investing in the cannabis industry. I’ve had industry experts like CB1 Capital’s Todd Harrison on the podcast previously, and he actually helped me connect with the guest of this week’s episode – Jason Wild. Jason is a former pharmacist turned cannabis investor extraordinaire. He is Chairman of the Board at the Canada-listed cannabis company TerrAscend and President of JW Asset Management. Currently, 70% of his over $2 billion under management is invested in cannabis. Jason not only understands the cannabis industry, but also the long history behind it, rooted in racism and bad laws, that has had a major impact in the U.S. In this episode, Jason and I chat all about the cannabis industry, including: its growth, financing, misconceptions, impact from COVID-19, the types of people who do well in this industry, Jason’s work and investments, licensing, changing laws, CBD, education, and criminal justice reform in this space.

PS – Jason just announced a new partnership with Chris Webber, a five-time NBA All-Star and founder of Webber Wellness. The pair just launched a $100 million private equity cannabis fund aimed at investing in “underrepresented entrepreneurs pursuing careers in the cannabis sector.”
