OM DENNE EPISODE
The first show of 2025 starts with Jesse and Morgan reviewing Senorita Beverages. This is Agrify's first hemp beverage acquisition, and the guys give their thoughts on the two flavors they tried and where they fit in the evolving beverage landscape.
Jerry Derevyanny, Partner at Bengal Capital, joins to discuss what has gone wrong with the MSO model. The guys discuss cracks in the state-led growth story, particular challenges facing Florida, and which operators may have the most difficulties ahead. Jerry points out potential opportunities on the debt side, which gives investors greater security than equity investing.
The conversation concludes with an analysis of how banning or approving intoxicating hemp may drive more revenue, and Morgan asks Grok about the economic impact of dry January.
