00:00:13.608 --> 00:00:21.074
Minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, main engine start 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:00:21.074 --> 00:00:21.375
What?
00:00:21.375 --> 00:00:24.657
Sometimes I miss the old intro.
00:00:24.657 --> 00:00:25.858
I think about that a lot.
00:00:25.858 --> 00:00:28.925
I have dreams about the old intro in my dreams.
00:00:28.925 --> 00:00:30.530
Is that a funny one?
00:00:30.530 --> 00:00:32.384
Different cadence, yeah, I guess.
00:00:32.384 --> 00:00:33.046
So I don't know.
00:00:33.046 --> 00:00:34.649
It was just something I was thinking about lately.
00:00:34.670 --> 00:00:36.744
We could retro back, maybe retro back.
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.381
I always just thought maybe it'd be cool if once in a while it was just like waka waka.
00:00:40.381 --> 00:00:46.087
I kind of expect you to kind of like throw me off at the beginning, it's good, or try, I like it.
00:00:46.087 --> 00:00:51.470
Yeah Well, petty as they come, slap happy Big ass news in the world.
00:00:51.470 --> 00:00:52.691
Let's fucking go.
00:00:52.691 --> 00:00:55.713
Yeah, that's true, sean's fired up.
00:00:55.753 --> 00:00:56.014
Well.
00:00:56.113 --> 00:00:59.375
I am pretty fired up because I didn't even know that you did this.
00:00:59.375 --> 00:01:00.417
Really you kind of did this.
00:01:00.417 --> 00:01:04.484
So it was a surprise to me, like I guess it was like I guess we didn't really talk about it that much.
00:01:04.484 --> 00:01:07.111
Fair, yeah, but how long did it take to get?
00:01:07.111 --> 00:01:09.174
Is it registered trademarked?
00:01:09.174 --> 00:01:11.325
Oh, yes, the terminology.
00:01:11.325 --> 00:01:13.587
Yes, it did take quite a long time.
00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:15.284
Do you want to tell us about the?
00:01:15.304 --> 00:01:16.887
process and how big a deal that is, charlie.
00:01:16.887 --> 00:01:31.765
Oh, process, I mean, the bigger deal was us, you know, going through the process of making a brand and, uh, developing everything that you know, our store and what the brand stands for.
00:01:31.765 --> 00:01:38.248
I even remember our friend cory talking about that and him being like do you, are you gonna make a brand or just like a weed store?
00:01:38.268 --> 00:01:41.441
because it, oh yes it's a hard differentiation, are you?
00:01:41.522 --> 00:01:43.864
opening a weed store or are you starting a cannabis brand?
00:01:43.864 --> 00:01:56.352
Yeah, a lot of people ask me that question and it's taken a lot longer, but it's been good, uh, to have assets and actually build out a brand, you mean, and then get and actually register a trademark, exactly so what?
00:01:56.352 --> 00:01:57.343
Can we sue people now?
00:01:57.343 --> 00:01:58.388
Is that what that shit means?
00:01:58.891 --> 00:02:06.609
I think so that means we have to employ a lawyer first, I guess, though it's expensive, but anyways, but that's pretty awesome, I guess.
00:02:06.609 --> 00:02:08.293
But yeah, it took quite some time.
00:02:08.293 --> 00:02:08.954
Yeah, exactly.
00:02:08.954 --> 00:02:17.282
No, yeah, if you look it up, I think we're defended and cleared or whatever they do, stamped and approved, so that's pretty dope, congratulations.
00:02:17.282 --> 00:02:18.384
Thanks for doing that, charlie.
00:02:18.384 --> 00:02:22.349
Yeah, and obviously a big step.
00:02:22.349 --> 00:02:33.968
If we are going to open another store, then it kind of makes sense that you know to have that kind of thing, and as an entrepreneur and somebody in business and I'm pretty proud that we did that shit so yeah, no, it makes the brand.
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:38.568
So I can put the little R we'll put we'll have to put the R on our next line of t-shirts or some shit like that, Right.
00:02:38.568 --> 00:02:43.546
Yeah, put it right on there so then when, like the tiny little right, you know what I'm talking about.
00:02:43.546 --> 00:02:47.492
Yeah, yeah, let's go, don't forget.
00:02:47.492 --> 00:02:51.118
Tonight's episode is brought to you by Raw's and Hed's.
00:02:51.158 --> 00:02:53.526
Yeah, I got the baller box right here.
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.911
I got my sweater busted out Always.
00:02:56.911 --> 00:02:59.703
Oh, we got some coins in here tonight.
00:02:59.703 --> 00:03:00.784
Yeah, fire me a coin.
00:03:00.784 --> 00:03:01.606
You want a coin?
00:03:01.606 --> 00:03:03.449
Yeah, so the coins are delicious too.
00:03:03.449 --> 00:03:06.294
Are these milk or Milk, milk, milk.
00:03:06.294 --> 00:03:08.064
You get two pieces, which is pretty fire.
00:03:08.085 --> 00:03:08.185
Yeah.
00:03:08.224 --> 00:03:09.147
I'm going to have a coin too.
00:03:09.147 --> 00:03:10.070
Let's both do one.
00:03:10.070 --> 00:03:12.546
I'll slither you one on the top of the box.
00:03:12.546 --> 00:03:16.147
There you go, all right, but you know, I think I like the raspberry peanut butter the best.
00:03:16.147 --> 00:03:19.950
I really enjoy.
00:03:19.950 --> 00:03:22.533
Yes, you know what I'm talking about.
00:03:22.533 --> 00:03:24.574
No sugar, five milligrams each.
00:03:24.574 --> 00:03:26.776
Very innovative product.
00:03:26.776 --> 00:03:28.789
Go buy rosin heads right now.
00:03:28.789 --> 00:03:30.179
How do you eat them, do you?
00:03:30.179 --> 00:03:30.319
Just?
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:31.926
Higher orbit is powered by rosin heads.
00:03:31.926 --> 00:03:33.145
Do you just swallow them?
00:03:33.145 --> 00:03:34.342
Do you put them under your tongue?
00:03:34.342 --> 00:03:35.467
Chew them up the coin?
00:03:36.169 --> 00:03:38.286
No, I'm oh, I can chew my rosin head.
00:03:38.325 --> 00:03:45.883
No, the other one, the other one Um.
00:03:45.883 --> 00:03:46.866
I usually like to let it get it warm.
00:03:46.866 --> 00:03:48.050
Sorry, warm up a little bit.
00:03:48.050 --> 00:03:49.495
The drop, that's how I just see chocolate in general.
00:03:49.495 --> 00:03:50.718
No, the rosin drops though, anyways.
00:03:50.718 --> 00:03:51.120
Oh, the drops.
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:55.574
Sorry, sorry, sorry, I I

just I just ate them.
00:03:55.715 --> 00:03:56.717
I don't know this is the rosin.
00:03:56.998 --> 00:03:59.812
Yeah, yeah, I ate them and I find that it hits me faster.
00:03:59.812 --> 00:04:00.474
They're weedy.
00:04:00.474 --> 00:04:03.343
I like I'm gonna swallow them, but hey, man, teach storm.
00:04:03.343 --> 00:04:06.211
Yeah, we, we got new peanut butter jelly too.
00:04:06.211 --> 00:04:06.752
That is out.
00:04:06.752 --> 00:04:08.526
There's a new drop of peanut butter and jelly.
00:04:08.526 --> 00:04:08.888
I don't know.
00:04:08.888 --> 00:04:10.243
The caramel peanut butter.
00:04:10.243 --> 00:04:14.183
Oh no, the new drop of the flour yes, buy 14 grams of flour.
00:04:14.183 --> 00:04:15.729
Go support Todd, yeah.
00:04:15.729 --> 00:04:23.130
Great friend, great products, yeah.
00:04:23.130 --> 00:04:24.232
What else did you have on your mind?
00:04:24.232 --> 00:04:25.074
We're going to talk politics.
00:04:25.074 --> 00:04:25.894
This is Gary Satan.
00:04:25.894 --> 00:04:28.088
It's worth shouting out 67 cents.
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:30.165
Yeah, we don't know much about them.
00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:40.379
This was on our flow-through order and it's the Gary Satan, which is a Gary Payton times jealousy, and it says the breeder is Tiki Madman.
00:04:40.379 --> 00:04:41.867
I like how it has the breeder.
00:04:41.867 --> 00:04:44.249
I don't know who Tiki Madman is, but shout out to him it, madman.
00:04:44.249 --> 00:04:44.951
I like how it has the breeder.
00:04:44.951 --> 00:04:46.057
I don't know who Tiki Madman is but shout out to him.
00:04:46.057 --> 00:04:57.687
It has all the good stuff at the top too Limonene, beta-mercine and linalool but I gotta say like it smells and just looks really nice, like almost has like a tire rubber thing.
00:04:57.922 --> 00:04:59.920
I think Carly Boomer said it smelled like Canadian tire.
00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:00.841
I thought that was pretty funny, like entire.
00:05:00.841 --> 00:05:03.646
I thought that was pretty funny, like when you walk down the tire aisle, so I thought that was a good one.
00:05:03.646 --> 00:05:04.928
It's a good one.
00:05:04.928 --> 00:05:06.170
It smells exactly like that.
00:05:06.170 --> 00:05:07.473
That sounds great.
00:05:07.473 --> 00:05:07.973
It was good.
00:05:07.973 --> 00:05:14.860
I enjoyed it.
00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:15.540
You didn't even try it.
00:05:15.540 --> 00:05:16.562
Yeah, there you go, I'll roll it up now.
00:05:16.562 --> 00:05:16.862
Yeah, it was.
00:05:16.862 --> 00:05:17.343
It was good.
00:05:17.343 --> 00:05:17.744
I would.
00:05:17.744 --> 00:05:18.384
I would agree at the price.
00:05:18.384 --> 00:05:18.824
Uh, it was very good.
00:05:18.846 --> 00:05:21.329
Um, are we going to keep our guests a secret or are we just going to come out with it?
00:05:21.329 --> 00:05:23.391
No, yeah, I can't wait for our guest man.
00:05:23.391 --> 00:05:24.331
Our guest is dope.
00:05:24.331 --> 00:05:30.425
It's a perfect segue from what
I was saying about you know, having a brand and creating like imagery.
00:05:30.425 --> 00:05:35.125
And look at you know Rodzenheads with his great brand.
00:05:35.125 --> 00:05:37.387
I hope he has that all checked down.
00:05:37.387 --> 00:05:44.464
But yeah, no, our next guest is in a girl, I think, and a lot of people making brands.
00:05:44.464 --> 00:05:47.069
They made our stickers, which are incredibly dope.
00:05:47.069 --> 00:05:52.221
Yes, the raised sticker slaps right, that's right.
00:05:52.221 --> 00:05:55.125
Oh, yeah, these are the season three Limited edition, I believe.
00:05:55.125 --> 00:05:57.790
If you come to the store and mention it, we'll be happy to give you one.
00:05:57.790 --> 00:05:59.771
Really, I don't even think I have these.
00:05:59.771 --> 00:06:01.675
Yeah, we have them, man.
00:06:01.675 --> 00:06:03.783
Yeah, yeah, they're really dope.
00:06:03.822 --> 00:06:09.653
They got the flying jelly toast and the rosin head and the rosin coin.
00:06:09.653 --> 00:06:12.007
I thought it was a really cool little collab we got to do with Todd's.
00:06:12.007 --> 00:06:13.942
I didn't even realize you had the shirt on.
00:06:13.942 --> 00:06:15.666
Yeah, you're wearing this hoodie.
00:06:15.666 --> 00:06:18.754
Yeah, yeah, very dope.
00:06:18.754 --> 00:06:22.923
Yeah, no, even speaking too, I guess I get to start.
00:06:22.923 --> 00:06:24.824
You love the victory lap, so we may as well.
00:06:24.824 --> 00:06:33.033
But with the trademark too, it kind of like fortifies the victory in the neighborhood, like holding down the neighborhood.
00:06:33.033 --> 00:06:37.197
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I love it.
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:47.536
Well, we don't have to name the list, but there's been a lot of dispensaries that have come and gone, I guess around here, yeah, and we won't name names, but the very closest one, about 100 meters across the street, is finally called Equest.
00:06:47.536 --> 00:06:49.182
Yeah, and we wish them well.
00:06:49.182 --> 00:06:54.375
But you know, it's good to be here and thanks for everybody that's been supporting us all these years.
00:06:54.375 --> 00:06:56.105
Exactly, I guess that's all I wanted to pivot to.
00:06:56.105 --> 00:06:58.165
Yeah, that's exactly Turn it into a positive, I guess.
00:06:58.165 --> 00:07:00.240
Yeah, I know.
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:01.041
I think I thought I said it.
00:07:01.041 --> 00:07:04.906
Well, right, you know, we wish them well and we're very happy at the same time.
00:07:05.065 --> 00:07:11.370
No, exactly, that's fine, right, exactly, business is a Well, it's like it's even competitive thing.
00:07:11.370 --> 00:07:12.331
In that sense it's.
00:07:12.331 --> 00:07:14.533
Maybe that finally happened the right.
00:07:14.533 --> 00:07:16.435
The gauntlet is over.
00:07:16.435 --> 00:07:17.817
Maybe not necessarily.
00:07:17.817 --> 00:07:21.543
I'm sure a lot of stores are still entering the market.
00:07:21.543 --> 00:07:23.410
But this Dude, this weed's dank,
how much is this?
00:07:23.410 --> 00:07:24.834
31 bucks, I think we tried, plus tax.
00:07:24.834 --> 00:07:26.137
Dude, yeah, I'm very impressed.
00:07:26.137 --> 00:07:27.161
I'm excited to try this.
00:07:27.521 --> 00:07:28.564
Yeah, shout out Tiki.
00:07:28.564 --> 00:07:30.326
What was his name?
00:07:30.326 --> 00:07:36.336
Tiki Madman, tiki Madman, yeah, okay, there you go, I'll check out Tiki Madman.
00:07:36.336 --> 00:07:37.841
We'll look more into that.
00:07:37.841 --> 00:07:39.903
Carly, look into who Tiki?
00:07:39.903 --> 00:07:42.526
Thanks, I don't know.
00:07:42.526 --> 00:07:44.148
I don't know.
00:07:44.148 --> 00:07:44.968
I thought it was great.
00:07:44.968 --> 00:07:45.769
I've never heard of him.
00:07:45.769 --> 00:07:46.750
It's a great nickname.
00:07:46.750 --> 00:07:47.591
It's a new job.
00:07:47.591 --> 00:07:48.273
I'm definitely.
00:07:48.273 --> 00:07:49.975
Uh, we are impressed, that's for sure.
00:07:49.975 --> 00:07:51.956
So, yeah, back to our, our guests.
00:07:51.956 --> 00:07:53.184
He's all the way from Windsor too.
00:07:53.184 --> 00:07:56.204
Um, windsor, show me our stickers.
00:07:57.088 --> 00:08:07.362
Fucking, uh, known legal side like kind of does work in both design work, um, and and all sorts of branding and marketing and stuff.
00:08:07.362 --> 00:08:10.050
So we're excited to kind of talk to him about all those things.
00:08:10.050 --> 00:08:13.384
Yeah, we never get to delve too too much into that.
00:08:13.384 --> 00:08:36.211
Um, you know what, I guess, goes behind a brand and what what it can mean to you know what someone stands for, uh, and ultimately how you stand out, right, yeah, um, it's been huge in what we've done, I'd say, and even a lot of the brands, especially in weed, we've seen that be super important as well.
00:08:36.211 --> 00:08:49.147
Um, I think that carryover hasn't really happened quite yet in the legal market, because I guess you can't do like cool stuff no oh yeah, no, we're not there yet.
00:08:50.269 --> 00:08:51.110
I don't think we ever will.
00:08:51.110 --> 00:08:52.474
Really, you know, I, I don't know.
00:08:52.474 --> 00:08:53.947
It sucks like america's crazy.
00:08:53.947 --> 00:08:57.303
Some of the stuff I saw in america you know what one I saw recently I thought it was so sick.
00:08:57.303 --> 00:08:58.226
What actually?
00:08:58.226 --> 00:09:00.856
On that note, it was like you know, musical cards.
00:09:00.856 --> 00:09:05.691
You don't buy a cartoon like a card yeah, was it on it.
00:09:05.750 --> 00:09:09.333
I think it was like Star Wars kind of with like the drippy Star Wars.
00:09:09.333 --> 00:09:11.466
It was like Darth Vader was the strain and you open the box.
00:09:11.466 --> 00:09:14.769
It was like dun, dun, dun, come on.
00:09:14.769 --> 00:09:15.879
Like the music, literally.
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:19.264
Like I was so impressed I was like that's pretty cool, right.
00:09:19.264 --> 00:09:23.506
And it looked like one of those little cereal boxes you know, like the boxes of like Frosted Flakes you got.
00:09:23.506 --> 00:09:24.369
Oh, that's fire.
00:09:24.389 --> 00:09:25.311
Like Porn Pops or whatever.
00:09:25.311 --> 00:09:26.293
I have like an eighth in it.
00:09:26.373 --> 00:09:28.845
Yeah, it was like I think it was like Vader Loops or something.
00:09:28.845 --> 00:09:40.025
You know what I mean, and it was like it was so cool, I was like I would buy that and then you open it and then the music goes.
00:09:40.025 --> 00:09:41.147
All this stuff's really expensive.
00:09:41.147 --> 00:09:42.388
I know that the the big, obviously.
00:09:42.388 --> 00:09:46.250
I think sushi, blue sushi is like 80 bucks, I think, or 60, isn't it?
00:09:46.250 --> 00:09:47.110
So how much is it?
00:09:47.110 --> 00:09:48.052
I think it's 80 bucks.
00:09:48.052 --> 00:09:50.933
I think it's 80 bucks, man, for an eighth US too.
00:09:51.434 --> 00:09:53.316
What do their bags and how do they look like?
00:09:53.576 --> 00:09:55.037
I bet you that's huge in there.
00:09:55.037 --> 00:10:01.447
And then also I would say that's supposed to be really good.
00:10:01.447 --> 00:10:02.389
Or the alien labs.
00:10:02.389 --> 00:10:04.352
I know that's like 70.
00:10:04.352 --> 00:10:07.738
I think he's a little bit more reasonable, like he's a little bit less, but it's not cheap.
00:10:07.738 --> 00:10:11.688
And then we're talking to you as the alien labs for three and a half grams alien labs.
00:10:11.688 --> 00:10:13.014
That was wild, yeah.
00:10:13.014 --> 00:10:15.922
Um, people think we get pay a lot.
00:10:15.961 --> 00:10:26.413
But I don't know no, I feel like lately I've been impressing americans most of the time depends um once in a while, but you gotta have the good weed in your back pocket.
00:10:26.413 --> 00:10:28.988
Hopefully, um, it's been getting better and better.
00:10:28.988 --> 00:10:31.245
I mean, you know I've been a want of gummies, want of gummies.
00:10:31.245 --> 00:10:31.767
Where are you?
00:10:31.767 --> 00:10:32.469
Where are you at?
00:10:32.469 --> 00:10:33.541
I think that that's weird.
00:10:33.541 --> 00:10:37.591
I've noticed a lot of like things are like disappearing right now, which is sad.
00:10:37.591 --> 00:10:42.325
I'm glad that um Sherbinsky's is back, cause they disappeared, disappeared for a minute.
00:10:42.325 --> 00:10:45.470
But I guess it all has to do with, like, the Bazaam thing and what I mean.
00:10:45.470 --> 00:10:48.913
The Bazaam, the like restructuring and the bankruptcy and stuff like that.
00:10:48.913 --> 00:10:49.355
Am I right?
00:10:49.355 --> 00:10:50.615
Yeah, I guess, pivot there.
00:10:52.482 --> 00:10:53.164
I don't know.
00:10:53.164 --> 00:11:07.193
No, no, I think that's like the nature of how the market is trending, like companies getting absorbed and then having to relist, right, and then that's its whole process with the OCS To like get a different SKU relisted.
00:11:07.193 --> 00:11:14.783
Yeah, because
even, like with the baby Jeter's now they come in the T-odd packages or whatever, right, yeah, you notice that.
00:11:14.783 --> 00:11:29.340
Yeah, so I think that's exactly what happens, right, when there's a shuffle, they just have to relist and it's a process because they'll have to sell through their existing stuff, relisting on the stock exchange under a different symbol or whatever, I guess, so to speak.
00:11:29.340 --> 00:11:31.466
I don't know, I just thought of that in my head for a second.
00:11:31.466 --> 00:11:33.030
Yeah, you always love saying that.
00:11:33.030 --> 00:11:37.110
It is kind of like that the calculated risks on products and stuff no, then I'm buying it.
00:11:37.130 --> 00:11:41.167
I feel like that's what we're doing, like you're buying it, that sometimes you get a dog and you're like god damn it.
00:11:41.167 --> 00:11:43.692
Yeah, I, I make no money on it, you just have to sell it.
00:11:43.692 --> 00:11:45.475
Sucks for like nothing.
00:11:45.475 --> 00:12:03.465
Yeah, that's kind of just always kind of how weeds been, though I will say, as somebody who's sold weed for a long time is or like yeah, rarely, or you buy too much of something that's good and then it's not good anymore because it's like it's there was a weird he wave and it was humid and horse your AC blue or some shit.
00:12:04.206 --> 00:12:13.398
Changes in the bags too, like, even like, yeah, right, yeah, I don't know, I don't know where I was going with that, but just the weed game's hard and it always has been.
00:12:13.398 --> 00:12:20.547
No, yeah, it's just sales at the end of the day, and sales are hard, yeah, and you gotta hustle that shit.
00:12:20.547 --> 00:12:28.047
Yes, maybe we can sue people and make another revenue stream now that we have the trademark.
00:12:28.047 --> 00:12:29.711
That's so like American, I don't know.
00:12:29.711 --> 00:12:33.005
I think it's just good that we protect the brand.
00:12:33.005 --> 00:12:34.481
Somebody told me we should open a store in New York.
00:12:34.481 --> 00:12:36.268
Oh, my god.
00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:42.623
In New York, and then I had another joker from Europe say that and I was like what's dream, big man?
00:12:43.205 --> 00:12:43.888
Amsterdam baby.
00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:45.905
Wow, wouldn't that be cool.
00:12:45.905 --> 00:12:47.404
We'd start with somewhere like BC.
00:12:47.404 --> 00:12:51.264
We'd have to fly out like once a month for sure, you know, just to make sure everything was okay.
00:12:51.264 --> 00:12:53.311
That'd be ridiculous.
00:12:54.022 --> 00:12:55.206
It'd be a completely different game.
00:12:55.279 --> 00:13:00.980
Amsterdam told me that though I was like thanks, man, wait to do it in Amsterdam.
00:13:00.980 --> 00:13:05.085
Yeah, he was like you're shit, so European, no.
00:13:05.085 --> 00:13:07.908
Or he was like or Berlin, or whatever, because they're about to legalize.
00:13:07.908 --> 00:13:11.890
We're not from there you get, so cooked, I don't know.
00:13:12.292 --> 00:13:13.572
And you don't know anything.
00:13:13.832 --> 00:13:15.695
I don't know German law, Like you think.
00:13:15.735 --> 00:13:16.696
I'm going to interpret this.
00:13:16.696 --> 00:13:19.238
I know I just thought it was Use my compliance, use my.
00:13:19.317 --> 00:13:21.042
German compliance skills.
00:13:21.042 --> 00:13:23.446
I'm just saying, bro, this brand could be global.
00:13:23.446 --> 00:13:26.351
Yeah, that's true, that's true.
00:13:26.351 --> 00:13:27.801
That would be pretty cool, I think.
00:13:27.801 --> 00:13:29.645
Yeah, that'd be.
00:13:30.447 --> 00:13:37.730
You gotta dream, yeah yeah, I guess that's all I'm trying to say I feel you Dream your dreams, I feel you, I feel you.
00:13:37.730 --> 00:13:45.969
I would be curious to see, though, the overall closures and what's open and not.
00:13:45.969 --> 00:13:56.508
I do think in Toronto, like the city of Toronto, it's probably under 200 stores now, which I think historically had been like 220 to two.
00:13:56.508 --> 00:13:58.894
Sorry, what happened?
00:13:58.894 --> 00:14:01.486
I just act like a toddler sometimes because I live with one.
00:14:01.486 --> 00:14:02.350
I'm like, oh, no.
00:14:03.192 --> 00:14:03.875
Sorry, back to that.
00:14:03.875 --> 00:14:04.476
I just thought that was a.
00:14:04.476 --> 00:14:06.162
I'm like, oh no, sorry Back to that.
00:14:06.162 --> 00:14:07.025
I just thought it was a funny joke.
00:14:07.025 --> 00:14:09.726
I just find I catch myself doing that a lot.
00:14:09.726 --> 00:14:12.134
That's pretty funny.
00:14:13.238 --> 00:14:15.104
Or talking to people like they're fucking five.
00:14:15.104 --> 00:14:16.349
I'm like sorry, I'm really sorry.
00:14:16.349 --> 00:14:21.001
Don't talk to people like they're five, sorry.
00:14:21.001 --> 00:14:22.988
Or they're just like a kid and I don't even mean to.
00:14:22.988 --> 00:14:24.211
That's funny.
00:14:24.211 --> 00:14:26.642
Back on, you know, sorry.
00:14:26.642 --> 00:14:28.267
Or they're just like a kid and I don't even mean to.
00:14:28.267 --> 00:14:28.648
That's funny.
00:14:28.648 --> 00:14:29.571
Happens, happens when you're back on topic.
00:14:29.571 --> 00:14:31.717
I was just thought that was a funny thought.
00:14:31.717 --> 00:14:32.119
Yeah, no, definitely.
00:14:32.119 --> 00:14:45.114
Um, yeah, no, I think I wonder, because municipalities still haven't even opted in anyways, at least locally, in terms of our immediate, you know, I guess, continued search, um, but Mississauga.
00:14:45.114 --> 00:14:51.525
I saw and this was three months ago there was already 50, at least 50 applicants for Mississauga.
00:14:51.525 --> 00:14:52.427
Like proper, how many.
00:14:52.427 --> 00:14:53.029
That's crazy.
00:14:53.029 --> 00:14:54.160
There's a lot, I heard.
00:14:54.160 --> 00:14:56.186
It's not as fruitful as everybody thought it was going to be.
00:14:56.186 --> 00:14:57.107
I could see that.
00:14:57.107 --> 00:15:04.764
Um, I think that
probably going to take some time because probably the illicit market is still thriving there.
00:15:04.764 --> 00:15:09.668
Yeah, so they have to go through that initial phase of like the ones that kind of fizzle out.
00:15:10.148 --> 00:15:12.548
Yeah, I think I'm going to do the Dutch fold.
00:15:12.548 --> 00:15:14.360
Yeah, the Dutch fold.
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:22.549
I feel like that's it, though that's just like the cycle of I guess the capitalism attrition at work is moving in and then having some just closed.
00:15:22.549 --> 00:15:24.113
The weak ones who won't?
00:15:24.113 --> 00:15:24.975
Gary, baby.
00:15:24.975 --> 00:15:26.418
Oh yeah, I didn't get to drive hold up.
00:15:26.418 --> 00:15:32.772
Drive Hold the Gary the back cannon 67 cents.
00:15:32.772 --> 00:15:33.594
Shout out to them.

Wow, with our guest Alan.

I feel like a douchebag.
00:15:40.596 --> 00:15:42.240

As far as I know, packaging there's a lot behind the scenes that goes.
00:16:35.722 --> 00:16:42.356
As far as I know, um, packaging, like there's a lot behind the scenes that goes into a brand and again, packaging.

Yeah, it's the.
00:17:00.677 --> 00:17:17.787
It's the deal, yeah, with the cooking it with the
crust and across in the little yeah, or meals cut up, pepperoni though like they do like a vert cheese like the Detroit style right yeah, they use a local oh is that cheese and they they like.
00:17:17.787 --> 00:17:22.277
It's just that cheese that makes the pizza and the sauce is more like a sweet sauce.
00:17:23.132 --> 00:17:24.135
And then you got the cornmeal.
00:17:24.135 --> 00:17:25.353

Yeah, Fair, I do like I can't really eat pizza anymore, but I do.
00:17:43.857 --> 00:17:46.174
There's a the pizza city you've never heard of.
00:17:46.636 --> 00:17:50.074
That's a little what A little documentary on it, If you ever want to.
00:17:50.094 --> 00:17:50.855
That's a spot there.
00:17:51.174 --> 00:17:53.720
Yeah, no, on Windsor Pie.
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:59.561
It's called the Pizza City You've Never Heard Of Okay, and you can look it up on the internet.
00:17:59.561 --> 00:18:00.148
I'm sure you watch it.
00:18:00.148 --> 00:18:01.575
That's dope, there you go.
00:18:01.997 --> 00:18:03.935
Yeah, man, you're like a puppet master kind of.
00:18:03.935 --> 00:18:05.432
I guess I think about it that way.
00:18:05.432 --> 00:18:07.800
Right, you're behind the scenes, you're making a few happen.
00:18:07.800 --> 00:18:09.471
What.
00:18:09.512 --> 00:18:10.750
Did I say that before Do?
00:18:10.770 --> 00:18:12.096
I say that a lot, damn it.
00:18:12.636 --> 00:18:13.557
Alright, I did retract.
00:18:13.577 --> 00:18:15.300
We're going to cut that out Retracted.
00:18:15.300 --> 00:18:17.544
No, Sean loves a puppet master.
00:18:17.544 --> 00:18:23.275
Well, I don't know, man, it's just like it's nice to get people like that are like doing stuff and you don't even necessarily think about it.
00:18:23.275 --> 00:18:30.112
Yeah, Helping people execute their brands with their slaps and the and the jar covers and the and all the dope stuff you do for people.
00:18:30.112 --> 00:18:37.845
So like, where did you get into this thing and where did the inspiration come to start Hybrid Visions.
00:18:38.911 --> 00:18:43.521
Well, I started printing and graphics basically like over 10 years ago.
00:18:43.521 --> 00:18:50.777
So I started a little company locally and that's you know.
00:18:50.777 --> 00:18:54.084
My friends and family started, you know, supporting that.
00:18:54.084 --> 00:19:02.221
And then I became bigger locally and was able to like kind of sustain you know us clientele and and the kind of people that I wanted to work with.
00:19:02.300 --> 00:19:18.750
And then, uh, coming into the cannabis side of things, it was like um, more of taking pictures of my weed and I got into like on Instagram, like these people that these producers, these growers, they would start following me, whatever.
00:19:18.750 --> 00:19:28.869
And, uh, they saw my work and they reach out and most, most people would reach out at the beginning about for, like photography, because I, that's all I was focused on at the time.
00:19:28.869 --> 00:19:34.842
And, uh, I kind of pivoted because my main business was printing and graphics.
00:19:34.842 --> 00:19:41.376
So, like I was like you know what I'm just going to focus in branding, printing, merch.
00:19:41.376 --> 00:19:52.134
You know what I was doing already, right, um and and kind of bring it over to the like, the market, like the cannabis community and all these guys that were interested in my photos.
00:19:52.134 --> 00:20:01.015
But, at the same time, like photo photography wasn't as thriving to me as you know because it was I was doing this as like.
00:20:01.296 --> 00:20:01.717
I was feeding it.
00:20:01.717 --> 00:20:04.116
Like you know, this is my full-time job, Like type thing.
00:20:04.176 --> 00:20:05.990
It wasn't we photography, you're just doing photography.
00:20:06.130 --> 00:20:11.858
I was doing photography and posting it online and then people were hitting me up like, hey, how do I get these?
00:20:11.858 --> 00:20:12.682
How do you do photos?
00:20:12.682 --> 00:20:14.853
How can I get photos like this for my my products?
00:20:14.853 --> 00:20:16.134
How can I get photos like this for my my products?
00:20:16.134 --> 00:20:16.334
Got it.
00:20:16.334 --> 00:20:25.465
And then you know, moving over that, realizing, like people realizing oh, you don't just, you don't just do photos, because it's like I wasn't really showing my printing side of things.
00:20:25.726 --> 00:20:25.965
Yes.
00:20:26.250 --> 00:20:33.682
So getting into the community was was from the photography side of things, just enjoying, just doing a hobby.
00:20:33.983 --> 00:20:34.644
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:38.430 --> 00:20:41.818
And then people, actually companies and LPs and everybody hitting me up and like no, we need these photos, how much do you charge?
00:20:41.818 --> 00:20:44.733
And I had no idea you know what to charge.
00:20:44.733 --> 00:20:46.719
Nothing, right, so.
00:20:46.719 --> 00:20:50.252
But then I was like you know what, maybe I should think about this.
00:20:50.252 --> 00:20:51.054
So I started.
00:20:51.054 --> 00:21:07.578
I started like drafting like contracts with for photography instead of you know, you know print, you know it's kind of like I was already an entrepreneur type, vibe kind of guy, so, um, I kind of got into it and then I was like you know what?
00:21:07.578 --> 00:21:15.398
That's kind of taking away from what I've already started, so like, which is the print and focusing on all that, and so why don't I?
00:21:15.439 --> 00:21:25.078
just kind of like use photography as like more of a conversation on like Instagram and on any social
media platforms and like that.
00:21:25.750 --> 00:21:27.155
Alan, have you ever had a rosette?
00:21:27.155 --> 00:21:27.698
The fun pivot.
00:21:27.698 --> 00:21:29.315
We got you a shot there on the baller.
00:21:29.315 --> 00:21:30.598
Yeah, yeah, yeah, printed those up.
00:21:30.598 --> 00:21:31.834
What flavor would you like?
00:21:31.834 --> 00:21:37.057
Yeah, I'll take a, have a look at these close up the strawberry, or the caramel, or the top of the peanut butter.
00:21:37.057 --> 00:21:38.919
You want this one.
00:21:38.919 --> 00:21:39.480
These ones are good.
00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:41.903
I'll pass me one of those okay.
00:21:41.903 --> 00:21:43.304
I think that's the caramel peanut butter.
00:21:43.304 --> 00:21:45.386
It's cool that the hobby turned into something like.
00:21:46.270 --> 00:21:46.873
Some revenue.
00:21:46.873 --> 00:21:56.080
Yeah, and rosin, like Todd loved my, my photography right and I and he's been supporting me since like day one, and that's basically that's what's driven me into.
00:21:56.080 --> 00:21:57.773
What I'm doing right now.
00:21:57.773 --> 00:21:59.559
So shout out to a rosin heads.
00:22:01.510 --> 00:22:03.597
Go buy from their fire.
00:22:03.597 --> 00:22:07.291
Yum, really good.
00:22:07.291 --> 00:22:11.152
We are powered by rosin heads, if you didn't know, mmm.
00:22:11.152 --> 00:22:17.075
So how long have you had the, the caramel peanut butter, slowly becoming my favorite, I think?
00:22:17.075 --> 00:22:20.981
Oh, really, on that last note, how long, like have you been working for yourself?
00:22:20.981 --> 00:22:23.353
Uh, like, because I mean, well, I've been, yeah we're.
00:22:23.492 --> 00:22:36.140
I've been working doing my stuff like a side business off my full-time job, uh like from 2015, 2014, okay, yeah, like then.
00:22:36.441 --> 00:22:39.484
So hybrid visions has been around for almost 10 years.
00:22:39.690 --> 00:22:42.896
No, no, critical designs has been like my other business.
00:22:43.258 --> 00:22:43.417
Okay.
00:22:43.778 --> 00:22:47.953
Yeah, and then, and then I have like to like my.
00:22:47.953 --> 00:22:52.351
My other printing company isn't, isn't really targeting the cannabis uh industry.
00:22:52.351 --> 00:22:58.022
So to to you know, sort of target more of the cannabis industry and what I like to like.
00:22:58.022 --> 00:23:00.902
This is more fun to me that you know it's more.
00:23:00.902 --> 00:23:05.278
It's more exhilarating than dealing with a lot of the brands that I deal with on the other side.
00:23:05.278 --> 00:23:09.795
So, uh, it's good to have the balance of both.
00:23:09.955 --> 00:23:10.217
Yeah.
00:23:10.277 --> 00:23:21.432
So it kind of it kind of entered the cannabis industry, um, with hybrid visions, and that's why I I made it an entity kind of in itself.
00:23:21.432 --> 00:23:21.634
Okay, yeah.
00:23:21.634 --> 00:23:25.702
So yeah, like been doing that since 2019, 2020.
00:23:25.702 --> 00:23:32.180
I kind of hybrid visions came along around 2021 when, like finally, and birthed with the photos.
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:44.222
Yeah right, yeah, yeah and then, and then, and then I started posting about what else I could do, which was design, branding, packaging, um, things like that, and even merch, like I've.
00:23:44.222 --> 00:23:47.136
This is all the stuff that I've, all I've done for years and years.
00:23:47.136 --> 00:23:53.039
So, um, I kind of just was like I'll bring it to the cannabis industry and it's been great, everybody loves it.
00:23:53.101 --> 00:24:00.863
So yeah, you also were so kind as to bring some of these amazing dabs and unreal turps here.
00:24:00.863 --> 00:24:03.260
Um, yeah, thanks for sharing those with us.
00:24:03.260 --> 00:24:05.931
On that note, I got to um, I'm gonna show another legal company.
00:24:05.931 --> 00:24:07.294
We love our friends at woody nelson.
00:24:07.294 --> 00:24:12.144
Um, shout out, um, I can't remember his name, walker.
00:24:12.144 --> 00:24:13.653
Hope you're doing well, walker.
00:24:13.653 --> 00:24:14.355
Hi, fidelity.
00:24:14.355 --> 00:24:15.419
This live rawson's fire.
00:24:15.419 --> 00:24:20.690
Dozy dope was really nice and clean, organic input, obviously, girl Scout Cookie Science.
00:24:20.690 --> 00:24:23.619
Yeah, it was really nice.
00:24:23.619 --> 00:24:26.816
But back to what you were saying yeah, these were just phenomenal.
00:24:26.816 --> 00:24:30.380
You actually, yeah, you made this.
00:24:30.380 --> 00:24:34.813
Yeah, canadian Dabs, oh man, yeah, so you did the artwork on the fruit jar.
00:24:34.893 --> 00:24:37.298
I did the artwork on the uh on the side wrap.
00:24:37.337 --> 00:24:39.020
Yeah, I had this just before.
00:24:39.020 --> 00:24:45.453
That was excellent, yeah, Um, so you've done like stuff for both legal and um and obviously legacy, and what do you find?
00:24:45.493 --> 00:25:03.096
the the biggest challenges are, uh, you know, just the rules, I guess obviously, yeah, legal side it's more regulation-based right or whatever the book says you got to go by.
00:25:03.096 --> 00:25:03.836
So it's pretty boring.
00:25:03.836 --> 00:25:05.939
It's a little more boring.
00:25:05.979 --> 00:25:12.086
It's like you got a two-color logo and it has to be this big and it has to have a big yellow warning symbol on it and for the legal side, right it's all the same.
00:25:20.009 --> 00:25:21.253
So obviously you enjoy doing the legacy shit all the time.
00:25:21.253 --> 00:25:24.144
Yeah, I way more enjoy doing like people that I that hit me up and say do whatever, here's what I have.
00:25:24.144 --> 00:25:31.049
So I work off their creativity, like kind of thing in their vision and just bring whatever and they and they're just like wow, like okay, you know what I mean.
00:25:31.049 --> 00:25:34.936
Like yeah, they kind of give you more free reign than the, the legal side.
00:25:34.936 --> 00:25:37.902
The legal side is, you know specific things, right?
00:25:37.902 --> 00:25:42.497
So,
um, this side is still not regulated in that way.
00:25:42.497 --> 00:25:44.421
So you get more.
00:25:44.421 --> 00:25:48.440
You get to like, just like you said, in uh, like the american, like uh market.
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:49.845
Like there's the packaging.
00:25:49.845 --> 00:25:53.737
The packaging is completely different and I wish it could be like that over here.
00:25:53.977 --> 00:26:09.990
Like that would be awesome, you know what's is interesting on that note, though, the kind of integration of um stickers, I would say, especially in the legal uh cannabis market, like at the store which, by the way, we're open and we're from the back of the shop right now.
00:26:09.990 --> 00:26:14.721
Um order us on uber eats we're available I'm fired up.
00:26:14.721 --> 00:26:19.442
Yeah, no, hey, you threw me off track, god sorry.
00:26:19.442 --> 00:26:20.605
No, no, that's okay.
00:26:20.625 --> 00:26:25.903
I had to plug it yeah, the stickers like uh, just like how important that is in a sense actually.
00:26:25.903 --> 00:26:32.239
Um, for some of these legal brands to kind of get their brand out like do anything.
00:26:32.239 --> 00:26:37.621
That's kind of fun, because it's not a part of the cannabis packaging yeah um, and I would say it's.
00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:54.510
It's kind of like it's cool and and funny in a way, like how much of the sticker culture there is and like people cover their laptops and like my bike is actually covered yeah, yeah, um, no, people love them, people collect them, people have walls or you know your your fridge, your turp fridges or whatever.
00:26:54.510 --> 00:26:56.756
Yeah, the fridge, everywhere, turp fridge.
00:26:56.796 --> 00:26:59.722
Yeah, yeah, they're a cool asset to have.
00:27:00.851 --> 00:27:02.336
People kind of collect the jars even too.
00:27:02.829 --> 00:27:07.577
Yeah, some people have graveyards of their old terp jars, you know, and they look at the artwork on there, right.
00:27:07.577 --> 00:27:28.502
And so I think a lot of the producers, and especially the legacy market, like to support like artists that are doing drawing and just digital artwork in general, or whatever, and just go and having fun with it and making something that they you know, that like compliments their terps inside that jar.
00:27:28.502 --> 00:27:28.963
You know what I mean.
00:27:29.211 --> 00:27:30.174
It is very cool to see.
00:27:30.174 --> 00:27:47.470
It kind of gave me an idea I almost want to do it is have one of those little like um machines where you maybe put in like a toonie or whatever and go and you, you know you remember those things yeah, yeah, oh, I do, yeah pops out, I'd be pretty fired they had some cool ones, they had some right like if we had some cool stickers and fired that up.
00:27:48.232 --> 00:27:51.825
No, yeah, I know, I know people do love them, so that would be cool.
00:27:51.825 --> 00:27:54.152
All right, you might have to turn more than two moments.
00:27:54.152 --> 00:28:00.481
So, yeah, yeah, premium stickers are premium for a reason.
00:28:00.481 --> 00:28:02.305
My friends, I know why not, man.
00:28:02.305 --> 00:28:02.605
Plug it.
00:28:02.605 --> 00:28:06.777
What are some of your key services, man, and what's your secret sauce?
00:28:06.777 --> 00:28:07.759
You know?
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:08.361
Hook us up.
00:28:09.230 --> 00:28:13.349
Mostly I'm in the print and design and branding.
00:28:13.349 --> 00:28:41.904
So like, if you need packaging like or logo, design um things like that, um, a lot of uh, brand like assets would be things like logo marks or any sort of assets you could, you could think of with marketing, um your business, even merch Um, but yeah, like mainly print, merch um, design, design, branding, stuff like that You're trying to think something crazy.
00:28:43.413 --> 00:28:44.616
Could you help us do knapsacks?
00:28:44.616 --> 00:28:46.521
Yeah, yeah absolutely Absolutely.
00:28:47.873 --> 00:28:48.213
You could like.
00:28:48.213 --> 00:28:49.999
This is like a little embroider patch.
00:28:50.058 --> 00:28:50.441
I did that.
00:28:51.009 --> 00:28:55.859
Yeah, patches and stuff like that you can just heat, press them on yourself, or you can get me to do it.
00:28:55.859 --> 00:28:57.394
You know, let's's chat.
00:28:57.535 --> 00:29:05.001
I was thinking we buy like a bulk batch of some ones we like and then like somehow brand them cosmetrallis, but my whole idea was like it looks like a jet pack.
00:29:05.403 --> 00:29:08.636
I don't know how we do it, but this would somehow you make it look like like a rocket pack.
00:29:08.636 --> 00:29:10.664
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
00:29:10.664 --> 00:29:11.428
That'd be cool.
00:29:11.428 --> 00:29:14.355
Anyways, I don't know if that was my crazy idea I had.
00:29:14.355 --> 00:29:18.202
We can make it come to life, don't worry, that's a pretty wild idea.
00:29:18.202 --> 00:29:23.159
Yeah, no, I think it's Like Boba Fett's backpack, you know, but it's like it's not.
00:29:23.159 --> 00:29:29.281
You know, like the painted tuxedo, but it's like painted on like a moon pack you know, Sean's wild.
00:29:29.423 --> 00:29:34.093
Sean's wild, yeah, what does that process look like for you?
00:29:34.093 --> 00:29:44.814
Because I feel like, again, depending on what you're trying to do and how specific you get into it, but what's it like, I guess, working on brands, yeah.
00:29:44.894 --> 00:29:47.703
Every brand has their own level of like what they want to do.
00:29:47.703 --> 00:29:51.714
You can go from like you know, I just need a logo to slap on my stuff to.
00:29:51.714 --> 00:30:03.173
I need a whole you know brand identity and I need whole brand identity and I need specific rules throughout my life and my brand.
00:30:03.173 --> 00:30:05.699
So they need guidelines to tell their designers or their people that they work with.
00:30:05.699 --> 00:30:07.762
So I do stuff like that.
00:30:07.762 --> 00:30:23.325
That's more behind
the scenes, like you said, where I'm giving basically the brand their guidelines to keeping their brand consistent, making sure the imaging is all the same.
00:30:23.325 --> 00:30:24.470
You know things like that.
00:30:24.470 --> 00:30:31.298
So there's there's that level of things and then there's just levels of like where I just need a logo, just just make me whatever.
00:30:31.419 --> 00:30:33.172
Yeah you know, I have a hundred bucks.
00:30:33.172 --> 00:30:41.240
And then there's you know you can, are somebody that you know is looking for the longevity of things, and they're they're, they're serious into things.
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:55.942
You can spend a lot of money and a lot of time into the brand, right so, and to make it successful, and, and it starts with, starts with the design and and, uh, how you're going to execute and get it into the market.
00:30:55.942 --> 00:31:00.317
Because, you know, not in the cannabis industry, let's say like you can't really stand out here.
00:31:00.317 --> 00:31:05.759
I mean like, but yeah that's it.
00:31:06.080 --> 00:31:06.301
Yeah.
00:31:06.770 --> 00:31:08.351
Take us behind the scenes, buddy, like.
00:31:08.992 --> 00:31:19.682
what's your process like when you, when you work with clients, to kind of they'll hit me up They'll usually on Instagram or email and inquire what they need.
00:31:19.682 --> 00:31:22.510
And let's say you're running, I need.
00:31:22.510 --> 00:31:26.901
I need to do a couple slaps or jar labels on.
00:31:26.921 --> 00:31:28.242
You know I'm dropping.
00:31:28.671 --> 00:31:33.699
I'm dropping you know A new drop for my, my rosin or whatever I do.
00:31:33.699 --> 00:31:37.019
I deal with a lot of hash makers, that's so, that's fun.
00:31:37.019 --> 00:31:42.230
So that's mainly the stickers, and printing I deal with is hash making Makers.
00:31:42.230 --> 00:31:46.660
I don't deal with a lot of growers or flower or anything like that.
00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:47.761
Well, it's the new wave.

There's a lot of, you know, especially the legal market.
00:32:38.380 --> 00:32:45.096
It's like they want to see like proposals and they want to see everything and it's like this is not the same as the legacy.
00:32:45.096 --> 00:32:45.880
They don't, they don't.
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:51.410
They want to see the stuff you're doing in action on Instagram and to get to get to those clients.
00:32:51.410 --> 00:32:52.554
It's a totally different.
00:32:52.554 --> 00:33:05.093
Yeah, it's quite a process and it takes a lot to just produce one little jar, you know, do you want?
00:33:05.113 --> 00:33:07.381

00:36:24.552 --> 00:36:25.413
You worked with him.
00:36:25.432 --> 00:36:26.233

00:36:26.253 --> 00:36:32.597
He came to me and said I'm going to start Hope Society and I need a box design, I need a logo, I need all of it, right?
00:36:32.597 --> 00:36:33.556
Oh, that's so cool.
00:36:33.556 --> 00:36:38.840
Yeah, so I've done what I can for him and he's done what he can for me, and it's been a good collaboration.
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:39.920
So that's cool.
00:36:40.541 --> 00:36:41.222
I really shout out.
00:36:41.222 --> 00:36:46.003
Matt, do you think there's some wiggle room in the legal market to do something cool?
00:36:46.003 --> 00:36:47.744
Because, like you know what I saw, I don't know.
00:36:47.744 --> 00:36:49.927
Have you seen there's some brands trying to like?
00:36:49.987 --> 00:36:50.867
push boundaries.
00:36:50.867 --> 00:36:51.427
You know what I mean.
00:36:51.427 --> 00:36:52.608
Yeah, that I know.
00:36:52.608 --> 00:36:58.021
And I mean I'm just the guy that they come to to you know.
00:36:58.021 --> 00:37:07.050
Produce the thing so like I don you know.
00:37:07.050 --> 00:37:08.996
Produce the things so like I don't know exactly what they want sometimes in their mind.
00:37:08.996 --> 00:37:16.034
But there's some like I'm working right now currently with like some that are like, well, how about we just make sticker sheets or whatever that uh, match the size of our jars and we're not putting them on?
00:37:16.094 --> 00:37:25.097
but if we just put them out, somebody can put them on and then just make a cool jar so that they have a jar and maybe they can just fill that jar or whatever.
00:37:25.097 --> 00:37:25.840
You know what I mean.
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:36.795
So they're trying to all these kind of ideas to like make it kind of like a legacy thing like vibe, but you know, without breaking the rules of I swear I saw maybe I'm wrong a bolo.
00:37:36.815 --> 00:37:40.802
When you open it, the jar has something on top.
00:37:40.802 --> 00:37:42.257
I don't know if you've seen that.
00:37:42.257 --> 00:37:43.224
Maybe I been mistaken.
00:37:43.224 --> 00:37:55.170
Maybe what do you mean on the underside, like, is it laser etched in a mylar bag but then within the mylar bag it's within a standard mason jar and on top of the mason jar is the sticker and they had a sticker.
00:37:55.289 --> 00:38:00.371
See, I've asked brands for like stuff trying to pull that off, and they're like no, we can't put stickers inside the bag.
00:38:00.371 --> 00:38:07.864
We can't put sticker on like and I get it in it in in the regulations and stuff that set out through health canada, you can't right.
00:38:08.085 --> 00:38:10.295
But maybe people go for it.
00:38:10.295 --> 00:38:12.481
That would be fun if it was just like under the lid.
00:38:12.481 --> 00:38:13.913
Well, think about yeah.
00:38:13.952 --> 00:38:17.539
I said why can't you put a sticker in inside a bag?
00:38:17.539 --> 00:38:18.101
I like that.
00:38:18.141 --> 00:38:35.059
I like yeah, you know I don't know are there any like trends, alan, you're noticing recently when it comes to like the packaging game it's just whatever, like the higher, the highest level of like uh, one last coolest looking uh you know thing you can make, really.
00:38:35.059 --> 00:38:37.231
So I mean, that's what it's about.
00:38:37.231 --> 00:38:41.021
Like, I think a lot of people are just like, oh, like, how far can you take this?
00:38:41.021 --> 00:38:43.351
Uh, you know this, this packaging, or this, this sticker, this, it's been a lot of uh are just like, oh, like, how far can you take this?
00:38:43.351 --> 00:38:49.925
Uh, you know this, this packaging, or this, this sticker, this, it's been a lot of uh, the hype with the raised, the raised uh effects.
00:38:49.925 --> 00:38:54.338
Now with the you know, the uv printers out there now are are great.
00:38:54.338 --> 00:38:56.130
There's how it does that yeah, how does that?
00:38:56.150 --> 00:38:56.451
how does that?
00:38:56.471 --> 00:38:56.692
work.
00:38:56.692 --> 00:39:00.179
So I like it's a, it's a uv roll to roll printer.
00:39:00.179 --> 00:39:06.153
So like um, it's rolls of vinyl and you're just printing on vinyl and then you can.
00:39:06.153 --> 00:39:10.853
You can have machines that like I have a machine that cuts and prints so it will die.
00:39:10.853 --> 00:39:16.143
Cut out like the shape whatever shape I want and then, um, yeah, they have.
00:39:16.364 --> 00:39:23.382
And then the, the ink is a uv curable ink which, uh, it's like if a girl gets her nails done.
00:39:23.382 --> 00:39:24.764
They put that lamp underneath.
00:39:24.764 --> 00:39:32.217
There's a lamp on the print head that, like, cures the ink instantly and that's how you can get a layered effect.
00:39:32.217 --> 00:39:35.539
And, yeah, any matte finish, clear finish over top.
00:39:35.539 --> 00:39:40.230
You know there's a lot of different cool things that these printers, the technology is crazy.
00:39:40.230 --> 00:39:45.436
You could go so far, right, you can go so far, but how, how far?
00:39:46.038 --> 00:39:46.981
how far do you want to go?
00:39:46.981 --> 00:39:48.286
How expensive?
00:39:48.327 --> 00:39:59.177
this shit must be expensive it's, it's pricey, um, and not because of the materials, I don't think, or the inks haven't been expensive or anything, it's more of the time they haven't dialed in.
00:39:59.177 --> 00:40:10.563
Uh, the machines like the, the time it takes to print you know a hundred of these like crazy stickers is is isn't in enormous compared to if I just ran it on my other machine.
00:40:10.563 --> 00:40:15.481
That doesn't do any crazy effects, it just prints CMYK color and that's it right.
00:40:15.481 --> 00:40:30.815
But there's others, there's, there's a whole bunch like that's a whole different thing, like print industry, like you know what's more efficient, what's not right in the print industry, like there's a whole different topics there, right.
00:40:30.836 --> 00:40:31.117
So fair enough.
00:40:31.117 --> 00:40:38.501
So, like it's it kind of just following trends, and the trends are with, especially, the legacy side and the hash rosin jars.
00:40:38.501 --> 00:40:39.503
They're all you know.
00:40:39.503 --> 00:40:40.592
They.
00:40:40.592 --> 00:40:42.496
They're a premium product, right.
00:40:42.496 --> 00:40:46.335
So, uh, they, a lot of them, want premium looking jars.
00:40:46.335 --> 00:40:47.577
That you know.
00:40:47.577 --> 00:41:15.056
And that's how you can effectively effectively make something like look cooler or make it look uh like on the shelf or in someone's instagram uh story pop out, you know, in somebody you know, or and a lot, of, a lot of the Instagram guys on it there or girls whoever, yeah, like they, they just show off the artwork that's on the jars and on their bags of weed and stuff.
00:41:15.096 --> 00:41:22.757
So it's kind of like art, I feel like it is.
00:41:22.757 --> 00:41:23.860
It kind of has become that way.
00:41:23.860 --> 00:41:37.335
If you look at some like back to I know I already mentioned the American stuff and what's going on in some other kind of markets yeah, you really see people cherishing it and holding on to it Collecting the jars A lot of people that collect the jars that they buy.
00:41:38.076 --> 00:41:40.659
That's cool and you know I swear on Reddit.
00:41:40.659 --> 00:41:42.842
You know as well, just like you speak of collecting.
00:41:42.842 --> 00:41:45.585
Sorry, someone made like a duffel bag out of their packaging.
00:41:45.585 --> 00:41:47.697
I think it was caramel bags, pre-rolled bags.
00:41:47.697 --> 00:41:51.099
I saw somebody who's been doing that, where they can make like a vest or a hat.
00:41:51.099 --> 00:41:55.420
Sorry, just in the sake of it sucks that we make a lot of packaging.
00:41:55.420 --> 00:41:57.478
That is unfortunate.
00:41:57.478 --> 00:42:01.836
I think I'll pass on the bright orange caramel packaging suit.
00:42:01.836 --> 00:42:03.440
But you know personally.
00:42:04.342 --> 00:42:05.043
It's a funny idea.
00:42:08.730 --> 00:42:14.724
It's not a bad idea, but I don't think it's going to, unless you can somehow make the color like shredded and make it look like more like a how would I describe it?
00:42:14.724 --> 00:42:16.076
Like a pattern.
00:42:16.076 --> 00:42:18.958
Oh, it'd be made of mylar, though It'd be shit.
00:42:18.958 --> 00:42:21.592
I don't know, man, I'm just speaking out loud.
00:42:21.592 --> 00:42:23.074
I just don't really want to walk around.
00:42:23.074 --> 00:42:29.480
Anyway, she followed me okay, you have to repurpose it into something else for me to actually want to wear it yeah,
there's a lot of more neutral.
00:42:29.500 --> 00:42:40.012
A lot of waste, yeah, yeah I guess, that's a whole other story too, yeah, um well, do you find there's any like recycling, let's say in the nest either?
00:42:40.012 --> 00:42:41.536
No, no, there's none.
00:42:41.956 --> 00:42:48.222
And it sucks because we were me and you know me and canadian dabs are just talking and he's like man, what could you do?
00:42:48.222 --> 00:42:55.420
That's like you know, biodegradable and stuff like just in, and it's like, yeah, I I want to but for what?
00:42:55.420 --> 00:42:56.784
For what everybody wants.
00:42:56.784 --> 00:43:03.230
There's really no way of doing it, so it is what it is right, I really like the three different jars you brought.
00:43:03.230 --> 00:43:08.402
I know you brought four even, but uh yeah yeah, yeah, just like in the some of my favorites there.
00:43:08.402 --> 00:43:09.391
So that's it.
00:43:09.431 --> 00:43:13.641
Like we got gas town like I like how the gas town just looks so like tally man.
00:43:13.641 --> 00:43:13.922
That was.
00:43:13.949 --> 00:43:18.193
Tally man is the strain the fruit fruit joy, yeah, fruit joy.
00:43:18.193 --> 00:43:22.998
One from canadianabs and we got some Smackles.
00:43:23.099 --> 00:43:23.278
Which.
00:43:23.539 --> 00:43:28.063
I don't know exactly what the cross is here, watermelon.
00:43:29.324 --> 00:43:30.907
Yeah, it was amazing.
00:43:31.130 --> 00:43:35.739
I think that was my favorite one, the Smackles, yeah it's one of my favorites this year, for sure, for sure.
00:43:35.739 --> 00:43:41.541
Definitely, like those candy turps In particular projects in the past.
00:43:41.561 --> 00:43:45.594
You're really proud of that, like you'd love to highlight, or clients really stand out to you.
00:43:46.217 --> 00:43:46.717
Projects.
00:43:46.717 --> 00:43:49.873
Well, you guys are one of them.
00:43:49.873 --> 00:43:57.125
You guys, like, you guys hit me up for the stickers and you know the design and cool thing like that.
00:43:57.125 --> 00:44:13.679
Appreciate you, dude, you, dude, yeah, yeah, but uh, I don't know, like there's uh, there's just been so many I've done stuff with like true quartz, which is like a company that's like you know, uh produces bangers, quartz, bangers for dabbing and uh, canadian dabs.
00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:17.731
Awesome guy to work for uh and matt, he's been awesome.
00:44:17.731 --> 00:44:18.858
A lot of those guys.
00:44:18.858 --> 00:44:21.510
The legal side, sauce, rosin labs if you ever heard of that.
00:44:21.510 --> 00:44:22.911
Yeah, really, into that point break cart they had and yeah, yeah, so those those pictures that you, a lot of those guys, legal Side Sauce Rosin Labs, if you ever heard of them oh, those guys are dope.
00:44:22.911 --> 00:44:25.103
Yeah, I was really into that point break cart they had.
00:44:25.103 --> 00:44:27.853
Yeah, yeah, so those pictures.
00:44:27.873 --> 00:44:29.177
they still do photos with me.
00:44:29.177 -->
00:44:31.400
Oh nice, those are yours.
00:44:31.661 --> 00:44:32.443
Yeah, all the photos.
00:44:33.150 --> 00:44:40.552
Most, I think all of their photos basically their product photos are probably mine Well, not mine but theirs, but you know what I mean.
00:44:40.552 --> 00:44:43.038
Well, not mine but theirs, but you know what I mean.
00:44:43.038 --> 00:44:45.081
I took them and they love that and I love working for them.
00:44:45.081 --> 00:44:52.827
They're really cool and it's like good to see that there's these kind of people that are still doing the same support on, like as a legacy side guys.
00:44:52.827 --> 00:44:54.628
They're still like okay, we're going to support.
00:44:55.369 --> 00:44:59.840
So that's a reasonable example, too, of a good looking brand, in my opinion.
00:44:59.840 --> 00:45:01.695
Yeah, especially for what they're doing.
00:45:03.289 --> 00:45:05.856
Yeah, looking like a brand, in my opinion, for especially for what they're doing.
00:45:05.856 --> 00:45:06.981
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they have like a good job too.
00:45:06.981 --> 00:45:08.485
Yeah, hugo and jordan, they're crazy.
00:45:08.485 --> 00:45:09.688
Yeah, they're killing it.
00:45:09.708 --> 00:45:12.336
They're killing it, but they're really good products and it's a really good brand.
00:45:12.336 --> 00:45:18.246
That, I think, is like pretty too true to the legacy uh side of things, and oh yeah, that's a really cool.
00:45:18.567 --> 00:45:19.951
Um approachable effect.
00:45:19.951 --> 00:45:21.213
Yeah, that's cool.
00:45:21.213 --> 00:45:23.179
Yeah, I think it's super important.
00:45:23.179 --> 00:45:29.210
Think it's super important I don't know, I probably shouldn't say this, but I guess they did in a way but it kind of reminds me of like, uh, just the fonts.
00:45:29.210 --> 00:45:37.257
It looks kind of uh, comic booky, comic sans, but I like getting that way reminds me yeah, like, yeah, 90 ish yeah, yeah, yeah, it's cool they're.
00:45:37.278 --> 00:45:37.960
They're cool vibes.
00:45:38.201 --> 00:45:45.416
So what are some of your favorite cannabis brands that you like and like their branding and stuff and you kind of fuck with and you get inspiration from?
00:45:46.210 --> 00:45:46.711
Branding.
00:45:46.813 --> 00:45:52.974
Sorry, go ahead, go in like, like, like cannabis, friends that you like and you like their shit, you like their colors, you like their brand.
00:45:52.974 --> 00:45:56.202
I like inspiration and I think they're doing cool stuff right now like I don't know.
00:45:56.202 --> 00:45:59.338
Legal side on the either or yeah, on the legal side.
00:45:59.358 --> 00:46:02.204
I don't know like Greybeards kind of cool, like their vibe.
00:46:02.204 --> 00:46:02.851
Yeah, on the legal side.
00:46:02.871 --> 00:46:03.974
I don't know like graybeard's kind of cool.
00:46:03.994 --> 00:46:04.574
I like their vibe.
00:46:04.574 --> 00:46:07.981
I don't I don't have that vibe in my design but I like like what they're doing.
00:46:07.981
--> 00:46:17.653
I like they like to see their like kind of how they do a lot of their stuff and, um, uh, what else, like sauce, does a lot of difference.
00:46:17.653 --> 00:46:21.250
I don't do their designs as stuff, I just do their printing and you know photos.
00:46:21.389 --> 00:46:27.278
But they have a lot of different cool cool designs that they you know, for their stickers and things like that.
00:46:27.338 --> 00:46:28.731
So that's kind of cool, um.
00:46:28.731 --> 00:46:47.860
But yeah, just I'm, I've been so in tune with like more of like the corporate, like brands, like you know, coca-cola and all these corporate side of things, so like I really it's, it's been fun to transition into the fun like cart, like more, not cartoony like or kind of like this kind of like stuff.
00:46:47.940 --> 00:46:55.989
so it's just more definitely more fun, right yeah, it's just more fun, and yeah yeah, I think we might see it eventually.
00:46:55.989 --> 00:46:59.137
I mean, definitely, todd did it a little bit.
00:46:59.137 --> 00:47:01.543
Yeah, with this at least it's love the hoodies.
00:47:01.543 --> 00:47:02.514
An extension of the brand.
00:47:04.856 --> 00:47:05.940
The drippy face.
00:47:05.940 --> 00:47:08.775
I really appreciate this new logo and he did like a few.
00:47:08.775 --> 00:47:11.155
There's one with like a tongue and it has like a.
00:47:11.155 --> 00:47:13.641
It's basically a tab of acid on there.
00:47:13.641 --> 00:47:15.914
Oh okay, I don't know how he gets away with it, but it's cool.
00:47:15.914 --> 00:47:16.255
I like that.
00:47:16.255 --> 00:47:18.059
That's all the one pattern it tweet.
00:47:18.059 --> 00:47:18.621
I like it.
00:47:18.621 --> 00:47:20.041
I think branding is so important.
00:47:20.041 --> 00:47:21.621
Like some stuff doesn't resonate.
00:47:21.641 --> 00:47:36.594
You know what I mean you definitely have to have, uh, a consistent flow and like, and as soon as you see, you know, even if something changes, like todd does, he changes it up, but you can always kind of tell that it's like rosinhead stuff.
00:47:36.594 --> 00:47:41.313
Yeah, it's like at the beginning he's always had this vibe and then it's always kind of like it's changed.
00:47:41.313 --> 00:47:44.161
But it's been the same, almost like you know what I mean.
00:47:44.161 --> 00:47:46.197
So, and that's part of part of being.
00:47:46.237 --> 00:47:59.074
You know at the beginning you do it right and then you can build on top of uh, like on top of that and top of that and make it like consistent where you're, where you're having customers recognize instantly, right, I love yellow.
00:47:59.094 --> 00:48:00.856
Some people don't like yellow, but I always liked it.
00:48:00.856 --> 00:48:03.760
I thought he rocked the black and yellow really well, like you, todd.
00:48:03.760 --> 00:48:05.641
Yeah, man Always did it well.
00:48:05.641 --> 00:48:08.365
I don't think he cares about football with Steelers.
00:48:08.365 --> 00:48:13.940
No,
he doesn't give a shit when you make something dope like this, the stickers.
00:48:13.940 --> 00:48:17.208
Do you just fire it off and then you're a dope-ass machine with the UV.
00:48:17.208 --> 00:48:22.184
Oh yeah, it makes them and it's like, and then you're like oh, buddy.
00:48:22.525 --> 00:48:26.621
Yeah, I know there's a lot of things that go into just create, just printing.
00:48:26.621 --> 00:48:28.106
That, yeah, there's totally.
00:48:28.106 --> 00:48:33.501
It's like you you start with the design, then you, yeah, then you have to transpose, like so your printer understands what.
00:48:33.501 --> 00:48:35.293
What is what it's doing, right?
00:48:35.934 --> 00:48:38.802
um, like the layering how many layers do you want on there?
00:48:38.802 --> 00:48:42.356
How you know, there's a lot of setup involved, but then you, you got those simpler ones.
00:48:42.356 --> 00:48:44.641
But those simpler ones do they want a matte finish?
00:48:44.641 --> 00:48:45.922
Do they want a gloss finish?
00:48:45.922 --> 00:48:51.380
They, you know there's all kinds of things, and then maintenance on all these machines is insane.
00:48:51.380 --> 00:49:16.722
So, um, there's a lot of things, and then you know a lot of designers and a lot of artists don't know how to kind of work with the printers and the guys that will actually produce this product, and so there's a lot of extra work that needs to go into it sometimes so um, but yeah, it's crazy, there's lots of steps to it, lots of steps.
00:49:16.762 --> 00:49:18.835
I wish I could go, yeah, one by one.
00:49:18.835 --> 00:49:19.838
I'm not a good teacher.
00:49:19.838 --> 00:49:21.724
That's the number one thing like I found.
00:49:21.724 --> 00:49:34.123
I found I'm not good at teaching like or explaining how things work very well, I just do them and then I know how to do them and learn, and I can't really, I can't really like transpose it back.
00:49:34.123 --> 00:49:35.710
But yeah, but there it's not.
00:49:35.710 --> 00:49:38.577
Just, yeah, click a button and print a thing, no, there's.
00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:42.898
There's a lot to it yeah, yeah, how many machines are involved in like something like?
00:49:43.110 --> 00:49:48.188
that one you look at like what we can be as little as one, or like there's a couple.
00:49:48.188 --> 00:49:59.492
Like you, you get lamination, so you have to take out the vinyl and, you know, put it in a laminating machine that will put another layer on top of that to protect the sticker and then put it back into another machine that will cut it right.
00:49:59.492 --> 00:50:05.224
Okay, um yeah, this one's just basically one machine.
00:50:05.224 --> 00:50:06.713
Does it all kind of all in one?
00:50:06.733 --> 00:50:11.755
oh, really okay right, so those raised ones, really the raised ones, yeah, yeah, raised stuff is.
00:50:11.956 --> 00:50:19.838
Uh is a new thing that I got going on so I think we'll fire up something dope yeah, let's work together, let's figure
it out, alan.
00:50:19.878 --> 00:50:26.659
I look forward to doing some more shit with you, man, it's really cool getting to know you, man and understand more about what you do.
00:50:27.132 --> 00:50:27.793
Yeah, kind of just.
00:50:27.793 --> 00:50:34.175
Yeah, kind of make the brands have different look, Bring them out.
00:50:34.717 --> 00:50:45.179
Yeah, I think anytime you're an artist and you're helping work with brands to create shit and bring it to reality and we have a team of people here that do it too.
00:50:45.601 --> 00:50:48.257
Heck yeah, this setup is dope.
00:50:48.257 --> 00:50:49.655
You guys got it locked.
00:50:50.672 --> 00:50:56.262
So, yeah, you need that and to help bring it to reality, you need help.
00:50:57.512 --> 00:50:58.315
You need more than just.
00:50:58.992 --> 00:51:01.034
I'm a little dabbed out, but it's the third segment.
00:51:01.110 --> 00:51:02.315
And you got to work with the right people.
00:51:02.315 --> 00:51:06.815
There's people that will hit me up and I just look at what they've wanted and I just can't.
00:51:06.815 --> 00:51:09.791
I just go sorry, like I, I just can't work with you Like it's not.
00:51:09.791 --> 00:51:10.851
I don't think it's going to.
00:51:11.112 --> 00:51:12.454
I'm the right person you know what I mean.
00:51:12.514 --> 00:51:26.335
Or something like that, so um yeah, you find like I guess ultimately makes a Brand that lasts or a brand.
00:51:26.335 --> 00:51:31.114
Keeping things simple, I think, is an important aspect of it.
00:51:31.114 --> 00:51:38.364
It's it's you want to really convey a message, but you want to make sure that you're not confusing people.
00:51:38.364 --> 00:51:39.271
Yeah.
00:51:39.291 --> 00:51:40.476
I mean, this is a good point.
00:51:40.576 --> 00:51:44.391
Yeah, so just using people.
00:51:44.411 --> 00:51:44.831
Yeah, it makes sense.
00:51:44.831 --> 00:51:45.293
That's a good point.
00:51:45.313 --> 00:51:56.894
Yeah, so just uh keeping things kind of simple, consistent, like consistent for sure, colors you want to keep your, you don't want to have a, have your, your logo, have orange in it for a couple years and then all of a sudden you change it to yellow with and a different font.
00:51:56.894 --> 00:51:59.481
Nobody knows and you didn't have like a plan, right.
00:51:59.521 --> 00:52:09.764
So um yeah you know, interestingly, I, I know I'm rebranding is smart sense, like most companies do it, and we have, like it's gotta be strategic.
00:52:09.764 --> 00:52:12.231
Yeah, strategic, exactly like we have evolved.
00:52:12.231 --> 00:52:16.722
I don't know, I wouldn't think about or how would you do it anyways, I don't know.
00:52:16.722 --> 00:52:18.574
I'm definitely.
00:52:18.574 --> 00:52:19.976
Yeah, I've done a few re.
00:52:20.077 --> 00:52:21.820
I've done a few rebrand projects.
00:52:21.820 --> 00:52:24.516
I mean, a lot of them are especially like on the legal side.
00:52:24.516 --> 00:52:29.456
They're all like NDAs and it's all contracts and it's like you can't even talk about it.
00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:41.777
It sucks but yeah, that's good though it's keeping busy, which is good where can people find you like on Instagram what your website is?
00:52:41.829 --> 00:52:43.494
