Welcome to another episode of AROYA Office Hours Special Edition, where we sit down with the movers and shakers who shape the industry from behind the scenes.
In today’s episode, hosts Greg Dunaway and Bryan Passman—co-founder and CEO of Hunter Esquire, one of the leading talent acquisition firms in cannabis—pull back the curtain on the real state of hiring, leadership, and culture in the cannabis space.
Bryan shares his unique perspective as an industry insider trusted with sensitive executive decisions, discussing everything from the turbulence of hiring MSOs (Multi-State Operators) to why turnover is such an expensive—and yet common—problem. The conversation covers shifting trends, like the rise in demand for finance and operations leaders, and explores what positions are fading into the background, especially in HR.
