How to Get a Job in Cannabis with 0 Skills, 0 Experience, and 0 Connections
Cannabis is the fastest growing industry in the U.S.
It's the 6 most important cash crop to the U.S. economy.
By 2030, it's expected that 69 million adults will consume cannabis...
And it's not even federally legal.
To say there is MASSIVE opportunity in this space would be an understatement.
Financial analysts have even called it a "generational wealth building opportunity."
But where do you start?
This is a confusing industry. Each state is a different market. Regulations change on a dime. There's a culture and language barrier that other industries don't have.
I hear you. 3 years ago, I was a college student with a healthcare background trying to find work I was passionate about. I had 0 skills, 0 experience, and 0 connections....
And I was still able to find a job in cannabis.
With my background, if I could do, so can you.
You don't need a fancy degree, deep pockets, or a ton of connections to land a job in cannabis. All you need is the strategies and frameworks I lay out in this guide.
