The Highest Critic’s Post

When you have deep knowledge and passion about something it’s hard to communicate to others about it. It’s not that what you say isn’t interesting and important. It’s just too much info for them. They don’t connect to what you are saying. Their eyes glaze over and they tune you out. I heard a podcast recently about how technical and scientific people can communicate to people who have less knowledge in a way they can understand. This is a lot like the cannabis sector. You have so much knowledge and passion and history that it’s really easy to talk over people’s heads and use industry lingo. You see this a lot in marketing to cannabis consumers. A friend told me about his experience with this related to cannabis recently. He said that the cannabis person was very passionate and knowledgeable, but saying all this stuff he didn’t get. I guessed some of the language the person used and my friend immediately said “Yes yes yes! I just smiled and nodded. He didn’t even care that I didn’t know what he was talking about.” Ouch. A big idea in this podcast is that when someone asks you what time it is you tell them the time. You don’t build the clock. Meaning- Don’t add more detail than you need to. Just tell them what they want to know- the time. If you tell them how to build the clock they will move on to someone else who just tells them the time. ➡️ Click here to listen to it https://lnkd.in/gpj755N4 It’s 20 min long.

Moving on is accepting that the ship has sailed on old relationships. I've made my fair share of mistakes in the Cannabis Industry. And I thought I needed to revisit those of my past for redemption. But at this point, it's worth shifting paradigms to realize that despite my mishaps, I'm being called to do something greater with my Differentiation Workshops through LAINAVERSEworks, my cannabis merch brand The ENDOCANN Band and my upcoming podcast series "The LAINAVERSE Bookcast: Radiant Reads for Cannabis Innovators." History gave me the expertise, relational skills and bird-eye perspectives necessary to craft a new future for the Global Cannabis Industry. Anything else is a distraction. Especially when it comes to folk on here who deliberately snub me. But no worries. I got something special for y'all when you come looking for my talents. ☀️ #cannabisindustry #brandmarketing #creativestrategist #hempindustry #growth #relationshipbuilding #globalcannabis #globalbrand
