Episode Details

My guest on the show today is Gerry Jacobs, CEO, and Nick Warrender, COO, LFTD Partners, Inc. (OTCQB: LIFD). LFTD Partners Inc., Jacksonville, FL (OTCQB ticker symbol LIFD) is the parent corporation of Lifted Made, Kenosha, WI (www.LiftedMade.com), which manufactures and sells hemp-derived and psychoactive products under its Urb Finest Flowers and Silly Shruum brands. LFTD Partners Inc. also owns 4.99% of CBD-infused beverage and products maker Ablis Holding Company (www.AblisBev.com), and of craft distillers Bendistillery Inc. d/b/a Crater Lake Spirits (www.CraterLakeSpirits.com) and Bend Spirits, Inc. (www.Bendistillery.com) all located in Bend, OR.

  I was made aware of LFTD Partners by Scott Weis from Semco Capital, and after doing a quick dive into the company, I invited them on to better understand how LFTD has gotten to where they are today.   You hear me gush a little bit in this interview, not a recommendation nor do I own LFTD Partners, but I've been interviewing cannabis companies for 8-9+ years now, was right there at the beginning interviewing psychedelics companies, and have chatted with countless investors/experts that are active in the space. The majority of the companies, I would argue, have or will fail in building a business in cannabis or psychedelics, especially in this nuclear winter, negative sentiment environment for this space. And so, when I come across a company like LFTD, I wanted to share a story that, for all intents and purposes, is not just surviving, but also thriving. That's not to say there hasn't been bumps in the road, which we discuss, as well as:

• Lifted Made's brands: Silly Shruum and Urb Finest Flowers
• Managing regulatory risks
• Building out their distribution and sales networks
• Importance of Brand IP; and
• Running a psychedelics/cannabis company through the current nuclear winter/negative sentiment

With that, please enjoy my conversation with Gerry Jacobs and Nick Warrender from LFTD Partners, Inc.
