We’re not snowing down ❄️

Minnesota, the opportunity is in our own backyard. After a quick Thanksgiving reset, the Canna Connect team is back at it and moving fast. A new episode of The Canna Connect Show drops this week with Tara Falk, and our next event with METRC is almost here. Snow might be piling up in MN, but we are heating up.

The Canna Connect Show: New episode with Tara Falk

Tara Falk joins The Canna Connect Show to unpack how field and trade marketing fuel real brand growth. She shares lessons from helping launch Drink Cann during the pandemic, what led her to found Aim and Fire in 2022, plus a fun backstory with Steven Brown. If you want to grow your brand through events and partnerships, this is a must watch.
