Leadership starts from within. The way you show up internally each day ripples out to your team, your organization, and the world around you. “Imagine if I could get up every day, go to my work or organization, and be in that great mood. That’s going to ripple out to everybody. You don’t even have to say anything. You’re it. People feel it.” In Episode 4 of The Tao of Leadership with @apt_113, Paul Karasik and Rob Sanchez dive into the power of presence and mindset in leadership. Your energy sets the tone—whether you realize it or not.

We’re back again for a third season and starting things off strong with a repeat guest who joined us way back on episode 10, Luke Scarmazzo, co-founder of Prophet Brands Cannabis. In 2004, the partners opened the first medical cannabis dispensary in Modesto under the Medical Marijuana Program Act. They were highly successful however, they faced resistance from local officials and were raided and arrested by federal drug agents in 2006. Undeterred, they fought the U.S. drug laws they were charged with. Like past legendary figures in history, they were martyred in trial and convicted as drug “kingpins”. Ricardo served nine years before being granted clemency by President Obama in 2017. Luke served nearly 15 years in prison and was released in 2023. Prophet began cultivating exceptional cannabis decades ago. Luke Scarmazzo and Ricardo Montes bonded over their passion and respect for the plant, and with deep legacy roots in the Central Valley, they sought to bring the benefits of the special herb to the people of California. Track down some of their limited flower if you’re in the California market it is some of the best you can find, and check out Luke’s book, High Price, and podcast, Joint Forces, while you’re at it.
