CIM: What advice do you have for new entrepreneurs?
MCA: Believe in our world, your team, your vision and yourself. Focus on your actions and let the outcome chips fall where they may. Prepare for the worst while hoping for the best. Remember that hope is not a strategy. Test your tolerance for ambiguity while staying true to your mission and purpose. Go out on a limb, the views are better. Do well by doing good. If you’re not living on the edge, you might be taking up too much space. Don’t run out of money.
CIM: How can we continue to make a positive difference in society?
MCA: We will titrate our planet with lessons we learn from this ancient and sacred plant; lessons in compassion, compatibility, credibility, collaboration, and consciousness. The spread of socially acceptable cannabis consumption will undoubtedly exert a kaleidoscope of influence on our decision-making, idea generation and business formation as pubs and coffee shops did in their respective eras. Our collective drive towards global homeostasis itself will create immense positive social impact. We have an extremely bright future as we exit this dark period of propaganda and prohibition.
CIM: What final advice do you have for our readers?
MCA: Continually strive to be your authentic self while reminding yourself to continually discover who you are.
