    S21E25: Who Really Wins When Weed Goes Mainstream?

    Send us a text Cannabis just moved from Schedule I to Schedule III — and the biggest implications have nothing to do with lifestyle or politics. In this episode of Market Outsiders, Jenny Rae and Namaan break down what reclassification means for the market: who benefits, who loses, and why cannabis stocks dropped on “good” news. They unpack the real unlocks behind the headlines — Medicare and Medicaid eligibility, federally funded research, banking access, and why Big Pharma, consumer giants, and even beer companies may now have the edge. This is a regulatory shock case study: how one policy change reshapes competition, pricing power, supply chains, and long-term winners across healthcare and consumer markets.

    Send us a text AI is everywhere in TMT — but in 2026, the hype is fading and the real question is simple: what’s the ROI?

You’ll hear what’s changing across tech and telecom: the post-hype AI reality check, shifting talent strategy, telco capex monetization pressure, and the growing role of regulation in growth strategy. The panel also gets practical on recruiting: what makes candidates stand out, how to show real depth in TMT, and how to start strong once you land the role. Each firm is hiring now.
