Kyle Kushman & Derek Gilman: Cultivation, Culture, Connoisseurship & the Ganjier Program It's been over five years since these two were together in person, and recently, they were able to catch up at the MJBizCon in Las Vegas to discuss culture, connoisseurship, cultivation, the Ganjier Certification program and all things cannabis. Check out Kyle Kushman & Derek Gilman's cannabis conversation using the link below. https://lnkd.in/gBHb_AWy #ganjier #cannabiseducation

Day 2 at Hall of Flowers Ventura.
CEO at Green Flower, Ganjier | Cannabis Education Leader | LinkedIn Top Voice | Mindset Architect
Hall of Flowers Cannabis Industry update - day 2 (Btw, you can see my Day 1 recap on my page.) Day 2 at HOF was meaningful for me and Ganjier. Highlights included: - Spending time with Kevin Jodrey, who I call “the smartest man in cannabis”, talking cultivation, genetics, and the rich history that got us here. His talk with Todd McCormick was really fun and fascinating. I just feel like you could watch Kev speak for hours and remain fascinated if you’re interested in cannabis. - Connecting with Jocelyn Sheltraw and Claudio Miranda of Budist to solidify how we’ll work together to educate the world about cannabis. Big announcement coming soon! - Hearing from Creighton Calloway, a new Ganjier Product Specialist, who said: “Everyone took me more seriously once I became a Ganjier. It’s made a huge impact on my career.” We love hearing about the impact Ganjier has had on your live, so to everyone in the community, please keep sharing your stories! - Hearing about two new cannabis stores opened in NY by my good friend Vladimir Bautista!! Watching him push for legal cannabis for 8+ years and finally see his dream manifest in the real world is so damn inspiring. Congrats my man! - Despite the tough market, there are still some incredible products out there — like the RSO tablets from Emerald Bay Extracts, the sun-grown work from Redwood Roots Distribution, and the exceptionally exotic outdoor flower from Green Shock. I was very impressed by this innovation and very high quality standards! A few things that made me sad: - The lack of wellness/medical brands in CA. The medical side of cannabis built this legalized industry, but it feels like that focus has slipped away. As someone who still primarily uses cannabis for medical / wellness reasons, this feels not good to me. - Surprising lack of edibles. Have established players crowded out new brands? Have hemp gummies taken market share? Would love to hear thoughts. To finish up… - The people who run cannabis are the best of the best… passionate, resilient, and tired, but still pushing forward. I love the people who are committed to this industry. It takes a certain type of crazy to endure the highs and lows here. But so good seeing you all. Let’s keep building this wild and crazy cannabis industry together. I continue to believe in the power of the plant! Your thoughts on any of this? Much love, Max Hats off Rama Mayo for another great experience. I will most definitely be back. #cannabisindustry #HOF #reflections

They're Back! Those of you lucky enough to attend our first in-person cannabis assessment & service training at the Ganjier campus this season, will get to hang with, learn from, and pick the brains of top-notch instructors like Kevin Jodrey and Aaron Varney (pictured) from the opening bell to the graduation ceremony. Both Kevin (founder of the storied Wonderland Nursery) and Aaron (co-founder of Seattle's Dockside Cannabis) bring an unparalleled depth and breadth of experience and insight you won't find in any other program. Also in attendance will be instructors Nick Tanem, Derek Gilman, Wendy Kornberg, and Swami Chaitanya along with local legacy cultivators from Huckleberry Hill Farms and Fallen Oak Farm. We intentionally keep class sizes small to optimize student/instructor ratios, meaning there are only a few spots left for this first session, so be sure to secure yours as soon as possible for what promises to be an extraordinary, immersive educational experience. Visit Ganjier.com for details and we'll see you on campus soon! #ganjier #cannabiseducation #humboldt

The number and diversity of extraordinary women coming through the Ganjier Program continues to increase each year... and we can’t wait to see where they’ll go next! Ready to join them?

A Real Treat Have you ever met someone you could listen to for hours? Guy Rocourt checks all the boxes for me. Passionate, articulate, and highly knowledge, spending an hour listening to a discussion moderated by my brother Kwaku Abankroh was a real pleasure. Guy is a vocal proponent for cannabis normalization and for “keeping the plant in plant medicine!” Pushing for clean, conscious products and one of my favorite educators on the Green Flower and Ganjier platforms along with Kevin Jodrey, Guy is someone I consider a mentor in the space. Give him a follow and check out the clean label movement. Your friend, Jesse

"Budtenders who can actually educate? They don’t just make sales—they build trust. And trust is what keeps people coming back." A key tenet of the Ganjier program since its inception.
Licensed cannabis retailer? Go from quiet days to packed lines with my AI-powered Maps Visibility System—no compliance headaches, platform bans, or wasted ad spend. DM me to chat.
That old sales rule in cannabis retail was: “Push the product. THC % sells. More promos, more sales.” And that worked—for a while. Until customers got smarter. Until they realized that high THC doesn’t always mean a better experience. Now, they want to know: “Why does this strain make me feel anxious, but that one chills me out?” “What’s up with terpenes, and why do they matter?” “How do I pick a product based on how I want to feel—not just the THC %?” Customers today want more than numbers. They want knowledge. And budtenders who can actually educate? They don’t just make sales—they build trust. And trust is what keeps people coming back. In a market where everyone’s selling the same flower, trust is what actually sets you apart. Educate first. Sell later.
