Welcome back to another episode of Season 4 of the I’m With RJ podcast - this one is a very special episode as we introduce our new co-host, Claire Taylor.

Ms. Taylor's resume reads a who's-who of cannabis companies including - Wonderbrett, Cookies, Lemonade, Outspoke.io, Canndescent and currently Bhang - with those position comes a myriad of experiences and insight as evident in Claire's conversation with RJ here in Episode 2.

Beginning in a  Los Angeles trap shop right after college, Claire's journey provides a real look into the role budtenders play and the lengths that many of California's top brands go to keep budtenders medicated and pushing their gear.

Claire recounts the hairraising experience of working during the George Floyd protests and the aftermath of the looting at Cookies Melrose.  

We also break down why Claire feels that working at Cookies was "cool until it wasn't" and why that sentiment is so common amongst workers in the cannabis industry.  

The episode also features a review of Wonderbrett's flagship retail location along with discussion about the quality of Canndescent products and the concept behind their experience-driven approach. 

Get ready for a fun yet direct conversation that focuses on CPGs and the Los Angeles and Southern California cannabis retail markets as we roll up and toke Episode 2 of Season 4 of the I'm with RJ show featuring and introducing our Season 4 co-host, Claire Taylor.

Join I'm with RJ and Eaze as they host a special roundtable conversation featuring Cookies Enterprises represented by Social Impact Coordinador, Richard Ng and of Cookies Massachusetts and Green Soul Organics, Taba Moses.

This conversation also features all 3 of the Q1 2021 QPD Presenting Companies including Dreamt by Ciencia Labs, Mae Delivery by Community Gardens and Breeze Distro.

Digging into the importance of having a seat at the table, Taba Moses focuses his voice on the power social equity businesses hold and the need for businesses to not only get their fair shake of investment dollars, but, more importantly, to ensure that the founders of these businesses have the chance to meaningfully participate in the operations when they partner with powerhouses like Cookies.

Richard Ng shines a light on the importance of working with people like Taba to ensure the market is diversified both in terms of ownership and in delivering shopping experiences and products that reach consumer groups other than white suburban house moms.  

A very powerful conversation for any one involved in the cannabis industry or who believes in the power of equality. 

After a career in management consulting, marketing and strategy, Jane was determined to apply her professional skills to make an impact in the local economy.  Jane saw both the need and the opportunity:  The need arose from small businesses with great ideas and passion but a lack of resources and expertise.  The opportunity existed in the enormous pool of professionals who had a strong desire to redeploy their business acumen.   She built TAP to harness the untapped potential of both small businesses and local professionals.

Jane is mission-driven, seeking to mobilize women for economic impact, and merges her business acumen with her management, coaching, public sector and nonprofit work. Prior to TAP, Jane spent her career in strategy and marketing, working at Bain & Company, American Express, and as an independent consultant.  She also has experience in private equity and venture capital as an investor and board member.  

Jane currently serves as a Scarsdale Village Trustee.  She has also held civic leadership positions as Chair of the Scarsdale Planning Board, President of the League of Women Voters of Scarsdale, Chair of SNAP, and President of the Fox Meadow Neighborhood Association.  In recognition of her sustained and significant impact on the community, she received the Mayor’s Award for Exceptional Leadership the Daily Point of Light Award granted by Points of Light, the organization founded by President George H.W. Bush to recognize volunteer service.

Jane has been a member of numerous boards and currently serves on Harvard’s Women Leadership Board, the Harvard Business School Alumni Board, the Regional Plan Association, the Scarsdale Foundation, and the Yale Westchester Alumni Association.  She is also a member of Golden Seeds and Harvard Angels.  Jane earned a BA magna cum laude from Yale University and an MBA with honors from Harvard Business School.
