The Inspiring Minds with Blissful Botanicals PODCAST
"The Business Podcast for Rule-Breakers and Real Ones"
Welcome to Inspiring Minds with Blissful Botanicals: This isn't your average business podcast. It's raw, unfiltered, and packed with real lessons learned the hard way, through garage sweat, failed flips, FDA raids, relentless reinvention, and not appealing to authority, but questioning it at every turn.
Each episode dives into a chapter of JR’s underground-to-legit rise, where small-town hustle meets hard-earned wisdom, and cannabis isn’t just a vice, it’s a catalyst. Whether you’re a founder, a misfit, someone who would question authority, or just someone who's sick of the highlight reels, this show is for you. Because sometimes, the best business degree comes from the real world of getting burned and building anyway.
