    Episode 61 - CBD, Easy As One, Two, Three

    The CBD industry has exploded in the past couple of years thanks to its potential health benefits and therapeutic properties. CBD is the second most prevalent active ingredient in cannabis, and you’ve probably read the stories about how it can be used as a treatment for everything from mild arthritis to anxiety, depression, and even chronic pain. A 2020 SingleCare survey found that one-third of Americans have used CBD. The Market for CBD blew up to $4 billion two years ago, and it’s been said that the industry will top $25 billion by 2025. This week Joe learns about the highs (pardon the pun) and the lows of being a CBD entrepreneur with Stacy Cason, the founder of Planetarie an innovative water-extracted hemp company in Colorado.

In this episode, Joe gets those answers straight from the league's commissioner and founder, Stacey Moore.

    Episode 57 - Rookie of the Year

    A strange thing happened during the pandemic (obviously), where covid affected many industries for the worse, some actually thrived. Delivery Services like DoorDash experienced exponential growth, the pandemic turned real estate into a seller’s market, and the value of trading cards skyrocketed. During the lockdown, people took to the internet and started buying cards in droves. This week, Jason Howarth, the Vice President of Marketing at Panini America, explains what happened at what the future of trading cards looks like on the latest episode of Uncertain Times.

    Episode 56 - You Look Good in My Shirt

    It’s hard to keep track of the number of ways the pandemic has affected businesses of any shape or size. There are the obvious ones like lockdowns, restrictions, staffing and supply chain issues. But what about companies that make clothing specifically for white collar workers, who no longer have to go to an office and need to wear a collared shirt? This week Joe chats with Ryan Kent, the president of Mizzen+Main a menswear brand that produces performance workwear, and it claims to make "the best damn dress shirt."

    Episode 55 - One Stitch at a Time

    Covid-19’s effects on businesses have run the gamut.  Amazon and Walmart together earned an extra $10 billion dollars over 2019’s profits, largely because of the pandemic. And at the other end of the spectrum, 23% of small and medium businesses closed during the peak of the pandemic.  Most of the companies that survived and thrived over the past year were forced to change the way they did business.  But what are you supposed to do when you create a startup designed for in person interaction and the entire world is in lockdown?  Joining Joe this week is Ashley Sumner, the CEO & Founder of Quilt.  Ashley talks about how she pivoted her startup designed for in-person interaction in light of the pandemic.
