Miami, Florida (Hexa PR Wire — October 22, 2025) —
Sara Gullickson, serial entrepreneur, investor, and one of the first female executives to run a publicly traded cannabis company, joined The Michael Peres Podcast to discuss building and scaling ventures in progressive markets. The episode traced her path from answering a Craigslist ad for “marketing for pot” to holding multi-state licenses, and reviewed why she pivoted from consulting to operating companies directly. Gullickson outlined tactics for navigating shifting regulations, lobbyists, and institutional capital, and reflected on how dyslexia and naturopathic roots shaped clear, persuasive communication with lawmakers and investors.
