Dylan Osborn What are some of your proudest moments? After we sold our first 25 starter kits, I was ecstatic and extremely proud. That was a huge milestone and something that showed me this business was going some- where great! What significant things have you learned so far about the industry? Bobbie Osborn One of the most important things I have learned about the industry thus far is how quickly it is evolving and advancing. I have also learned that as a company, if you do not keep up and evolve at the same rate, you’re going to get left behind. I value cus- tomer feedback and in-person interactions so much because it allows us to stay on the cutting edge of what people want when it comes to growing cannabis at home.

I don’t have one specific day that jumps out at me, but I will say I am always excited when I do my first one-on-one with a client. GreenBox Grown also offers one-on-one sessions where one of our growers will help a client set up their grow kit and teach them how to use it. I always enjoy going out and doing these because it always brings me back to when I first learned how to grow. Going through all of the basics like how to pH your water and how to transplant your clones. It is something I really enjoy. What makes your employees so awesome? How does your team bond?
