High Friends, so I took a short break while we got cannabis legalized in NJ. Yay!!! This was a huge win for me personally, but I’m back now and legalization will definitely be discussed in upcoming episodes. Now today, this will be the first guest in an area I would love to see discussed more in cannabis: Technology. Really there is no part of the industry that it doesn’t touch in some way.

Today I have Harry Brelsford, an independent network consultant in Seattle, Washington. Harry is the founder of SMB Nation where he serves and mentors over 49,000 members who are Managed Services Providers (MSPs) and SMB technology consultants. He creates content and events such as webinars, workshops and multi-day conferences.

Harry is the author of 21 books on technology and business topics as well as over 400-articles in biz and tech magazines such as Washington CEO, Colorado Business, Alaska Business Monthly, ChannelPro and Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine to name a few. It is understandable that Harry is an in-demand speaker at national industry events.

Harry’s 20 years of SMB technology experience were supplemented by teaching 12+ years as an adjunct professor at Seattle Pacific University (where he is now a lead instructor for the online MCSE ATTP program). He also served as Dean in the Graduate School of Technology at Aspen University, where he was awarded a PhD in Letters.

An active entrepreneur, Harry is the force behind the Pocket MBA, Telephonation, Cloud Nation and XPmigrations.com. His latest startup which we talk about today is 420MSP. Everyone should take something from this episode, friends please welcome Harry Brelsford.

So this is not a strictly cannabis episode but honestly it’s one of my absolute favorites so far. I talk with actor, producer and director Craig Sheffer who has had an incredible career with roles in movies such as the Academy Award Winning film with Brad Pitt A River Runs Through It. He played the antagonist in the John Hughs brat pack classic, Some Kind of Wonderful, which I still hear people say is their favorite movie. Craig starred in the beloved cult horror classic Nightbreed and Hellraiser: Inferno, both from horror master Clive Barker. He was also Uncle Keith on One Tree Hill and was in about a million other things.

Most recently he stars in the horror suspense movie Widows Point with his daughter Willow Anwar in her debut role. Willow is also the daughter of actress Gabrielle Anwar, who was in a series I was a little obsessed with, Once Upon a Time and she was the actress in the iconic dance scene in Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino. We’re going to talk about all that and of course there’s cannabis content too, some super fun cannabis stories from both of them!

This was such a cool interview, after cannabis, horror, Halloween and all things macabre are a big part of my life so let me know on social what you think, I would love to do more episodes like this. Oh and we weren’t sure in the interview but Widows Point is currently available to buy or rent on Amazon, Google Play and YouTube, links are in the show notes, you should definitely check it out! Alright, Episode 15, I’m starting to get the hang of this podcast thing. Trailblazers, the amazing Craig Sheffer and Willow Anwar.

On this episode of Traiblazin’ with Tara Misu I have Swerve founder of The Cali Connection which is second oldest supplier of seeds in America—and the oldest in California. Swerve is a champion of cannabis commerce whose goal is “to never be accused of a profit-over-product”. Which is something we definitely need more of right now. His mission is to provide true-bred strains to the general public, and more specifically, the medicinal marijuana community.

The Cali Connection provides product and comfort to more growers, seed banks, and ultimately patients then any other breeder of seeds in America. They have also won over 70 High Times Cannabis Cup awards using Swerve genetics, more than any other breeder.

The Los Angeles based wholesale company provides the world with only the finest cali-grown strains and it’s businesses like this that make California world-renowned for its cannabis genetics. He is also the potential future breeder of my very own Tara Misu strain!
