Episode 114 (January 26, 2023): Jacob Carlson, Co-Founder and CEO of EzHire Cannabis, "The Indeed For Weed"
BEERS: We are just days away from one of our favorite events of the year...the Rhode Island Brew Fest! We take a trip down memory lane of some of our best experiences at the state's largest beer festival and review the lineup for this weekend. Jake breaks out a major throwback from our first RI Brew Fest in 2020, Shook Ones Vol. 5 from Greater Good in Worcester. It's an orange creamsicle beer and one of the best & most unique selections in the history of the festival. Will joins the celebration of Moniker's two year anniversary by reviewing Pizza Beer, a partnership with a local favorite Hotline Pizza.
BUSINESS:(30:00) Jacob Carlson is revolutionizing hiring in the cannabis industry with EzHire Cannabis, or what he calls "the Indeed for Weed." EzHire Cannabis connects candidates with opportunities in the cannabis industry, with the goal of helping talent become more than just a resume. Jacob joins the show to discuss the platform he is building and how they're growing. We chat about his learnings from being a top-performing salesman in corporate America, making the leap to work on his startup full-time, and his cannabis story. We also discuss the landscape of both medical & recreational marijuana in New England & the USA, destigmatizing the industry & cannabis users, and some of the growth plans that EzHire Cannabis has in store.
BALLS (presented by Manscaped): NFL Divisional Rounds are in the books, and we're right onto the conference championships. The Bengals proved everyone wrong, and now are favored by a point in a rematch of last year's AFC Championship against the Chiefs - does Burrow get it done or will Mahomes get back to the Super Bowl on a sprained ankle? Do the 49ers have the most offensive weapons in the league, and can they get past an Eagles defense that made over 70 sacks this season? We stand on our soapboxes pleading for SportsBook RI to give us a better app, and discuss the future of sports betting in New England. We break down the Baseball Hall of Fame election and discuss how bad of a system the MLB has to put talent in the HOF.
BONUS: Make sure you say hello to our new Pod Pup, Tucker! And maybe leave a virtual treat for him on Will's Instagram if you've read this far.
