From Cannabis Brand Designer to Cannabis Brand Owner Lilli Keinaenen | Ep 119

Have you ever wanted to own a brand you've designed for? Or at least have a partial ownership in its success?

We discuss creative billing, imposter syndrome, the complexities of cannabis packaging, and a smelly fish challenge on TikTok.
