I am the editor-at-large for mg Magazine, the Fast Company or Harvard Business Review of the cannabis industry. As the editor-at-large, I have a pronounced influence on the direction of the publication and the issues that we tackle.
Being both a business owner and a journalist, I use my unique vantage point of the industry to craft useful, practical stories that help folk run better, more profitable businesses.
Editor-at-Large is a senior writer who writes about important subjects that interest them and shapes the direction of the publication in coordination with the Editor-in-Chief.
Since starting with the publication in mid-2019, I steadily become their go-to writer for a variety of subjects and today I put between 4500 and 8000 words into the magazine per month.
The pressure of the monthly print deadline and the expectation of excellence both from my editor, my sources and our audience has improved my writing considerable. I am writing the best work of my career for mg Magazine.
I have written about eight cover stories since starting with the magazine, including features on Kim Rivers (CEO of Trulieve), Chad Bronstein (CEO of Fyllo) and Luke Anderson and Jake Bullock (founders of Cann).
Given the breadth of subjects I cover and the incredible access to sources that the magazine grants me, I often refer to mg Magazine as my “MBA in Cannabis”. Every month I am assigned subjects (e.g. operational efficiency, brand development, retail tech) to research and people to interview in order to produce a written consensus good enough to print. Meanwhile I take all of these learnings and apply them to my company Ciencia Labs.
Writing for mg Magazine has been one of the best experiences of my career, and has instilled in me a devout belief in the enduring importance of quality writing and incisive, practical business journalism.
Every single project I work on today benefits from the hundreds of hours of in-depth interviews with seasoned founders and executives I have conducted for this magazine, and I credit this with my ability to help people use their marketing and content to run better businesses.
