Speaker 2: Nicole Smith joins us and shares that after a transformative year, she's excited to be leading evil lab into its next decade of existence. All the while innovating their product lines. We discussed goal setting in that rather than beginning with the end in mind. The sets up the structure so that the means justify the ends. She describes it as a funnel, whereas she did operate in a more linear fashion in the past. Working in the cannabis industry doesn't allow that luxury having to work through five banks, three facebook pages, 15 credit card processors, and for 401k programs will rescue from a linear mindset. Cannabis executives must continue to make progress in a linear fashion using circuitous routes. Welcome to cannabis economy. I'm your host Seth Adler.

Yeah, so I started with Eva lab, um, I guess the beginning of September, um, primarily because they were starting a new product line moving into medically focused products and I was available and said that they solicited me for awhile and it turned out that that was the right fit for me. Yeah. So you also have that experience. It's not that you were just available. No, I also had that experience. Yes. So where are they within their kind of a trajectory with product? Where are you coming into this, I guess? Right. So I'm evo has been around for quite a few years now, almost nine, primarily focused on, of course veep technologies.

Like that, um, and so we'll be launching a line of vaporizers that incorporate not only cannabis but also other herbal ingredients, so very exciting stuff and it's a great transition product for them to take their technology from bape into a more of a wellness focus line and then a line of compatible products to that, which we might talk about it another time if I'm looking at your eyes, you know, so definitely topical.
