One of the questions I am asked frequently whether in my position with CannaInvestor Magazine or from other industry professionals, students, audience members, panelists, and just friends, family, and colleagues is … How is that we get it right more often than not and certainly ahead of the pack? From there – our strategies, our predictions, how we find companies no one else is really discussing, and so forth. Let’s start with our team.

Look at our other core writers: Whitney Abrams, Matt Mauer, Jason DeJean, Ryan Hum, and Spiro Sertsis. From there, our guest writers have included CEOs of companies and other industry leaders - such as Chris Bunka. Mark Spear - top industry influencer, Dr. Michael Verbora, Patrick Moher, Trevor Levine, Sylvia Bagge, Regan McGrath, and we will be announcing a new writer shortly who is yet another household name in the industry. When surrounded by the best of the best … the answer to the question becomes easier to answer.

We were right there interviewing Hugo Alves when social media hucksters and the market manipulating con-artists set their guns on Auxly. We have Q&A’s every month with CEOs and industry leaders and this month is no different. We don’t just write about companies … we speak directly with them.

So to me that question asked so often is an easy question and in fact every month I give the easy answer: Service over Self-Interest. It is hard for others to be critical when they are taking payments from companies to be promotional. How can they be positive about company “C” when they are taking payments from companies “A”, “B”, and “D”?
