This is the Gary V. Audio Experience.

On this episode of Daily V520, Gary travels to Palo Alto, California for the launch of

his new shoes, the Gary V. SP25's and gives a keynote.

The episode starts with Gary traveling out to Palo Alto, California.

And then he sits with Casewist to plan his 2019 shoe line and the following Q&A you're

about to listen to is with his admin Tyler for Tokewell Magazine.

And then put da da da da da da da da da da da da da.

And the reason it's just a one word answer is it's binary.

Either you want to be on the right side of history or you don't and I'm completely

In your opinion what does the cannabis industry need to do in order to thrive?

You know I think it needs to go through its natural progression of wild wild west to

corporate.

I think it's happening faster than I would like to see it.

I think corporations have been quick to absorb this industry and I think you're going to

have a little bit of a gentrification conflict.

But it doesn't need anything for me.

It doesn't need anything for anybody.

It's naturally going to progress into one of the biggest industries in the world.

Where do you see it from five years ago?

An accelerated version of this where a lot of pretenders will be wiped out.

The economy will probably collapse in that five years.
