Republicans Are Red, Democrats Are Blue

Have you ever watched the show Shark Tank? When veterans will come to pitch their ideas to a group of proven financial influencers like Mark Cuban in hopes of partnering in business? If you have, how does it make you feel when you see their ideas and say, “Why didn't I think of that?”

As we stick together here to get through the dark winter life must go on. Many veterans who have socially distanced the ranks prior to the pandemic have invested their hard-earned savings into their dreams. Many of those veteran brick and mortar businesses have closed. Due to the pandemic restrictions.

Meanwhile, according to Sports Illustrated NFL veterans like Tom Brady reportedly received close to a million dollars in PPP loans. Another example of the haves, and have nots. How does Tom Brady’s business need financial assistance during the pandemic again?

When it comes to the color green however all pockets don't matter. The same goes for the budding cannabis industry. With more states legalizing during the most recent elections the American people’s voice still matters, too.

With moguls like Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg investing their green into the cannabis industry, could this be a sign of a fully federally legalized financial tsunami on the horizon in 2021? Not equally among demographics though.

Years before she played a key role in creating the cannabis industry in Colorado, Simply Pure CEO Wanda James hunted submarines as a commissioned U.S. naval officer. Then, she managed congressional campaigns and worked on Barack Obama’s National Finance Committee. H/T Cannabis Dispensary Mag

The Green Rush

I have followed Marjuana Moment on Patreon for almost two years. Every morning around 4 am I receive an email on the state of the union. When it comes to all things legislation of the cannabis industry.

Since legally obtaining my medical cannabis card in WA state I learned you can also grow your own green. Im talking about medical cannabis here not cash. You can do that when you combine both as a media entrepreneur.

Colorado and Washington state legislators combined had some vision just over 8 years ago. Initially creating The Green Rush wave on this budding industry. Which many Americans now have finally began to buy into.

Removing marijuana as a schedule 1 drug with the WHO was a start most recently. Then the Marijuan Research Bill as I write this today. Will the More Act tsunami financial tide fiannly come with the Senate in 2021? Or is it an eminant front? Who knows. Get your boats in the water now veterans.

One thing is for sure, Maclom Gladwell’s Tipping Point is near. As this financial tsunami is set to create financial opportunity for all. Eventually. Can you can see the Green Rush tsuanmi forecast? In addition, surfing Uber Eats to a whole new elevated wave of Uber Weed equality. Essential workers right?

How can media entrepreneurs like you and I as veterans get our boats in the water? Timing is everything. You are definitely not too late. Now is your opportunity to think like a Shark instead of pitching to one on their show.

Vertical Integration

During the last 2 months of 2020 I have been sharing with you how to leverage the internet of things. The goal is to make money in your sleep. Something currently very challenging to do for veterans with brick and mortar businesses during the pandemic.

The world is currently encouraging those creative types like you and I to take advantage of this isolated state. A media entrepreneur is any veteran with an internet connection and a device he/she can create from. No excuses.

Many social media platforms fight for our very short attention spans. Flip their strategy upside down, and make it go to work for you instead. Invest your time into creating something that will provide a ROI. While you sleep.

While sleeping horizontally on your back tonight make sure during the day your mental health is focused vertically. Not just on cannabis either. The kind of vertical digital brand you can begin building online. Media entrepreneurs.

A term I want us all to get more familiar with. Why? Well,Why not? Working smarter than harder has always been a motto of mine. There is strength in numbers. I am sure you can agree with me. Lets align vertically as a result.

This is an example of how you can get your boat in the water today veterans. Next time you’re watching Shark Tank learn from others mistakes. Stop asking yourself why didn't you think of that. A financial tsunami is on the GPS.
