What if the most powerful investor pitch wasn’t a deck or a breakdown of earnings—but a story?

Now, the idea of seeds in the ground to thriving plants is a tangible experience—one that finally captures the real narrative. Because in cannabis, the financials don’t always tell the full story.

This week, we sit down with Jesse Redmond, Head of Investor Relations and Business Development at LEEF Brands, to explore:

• Inside the Glasshouse x LEEF MSA and what it means for scale
• How LEEF is building for long-term growth with a focused extraction-first strategy
• Why the industry needs to pause, reflect, and reset expectations
• Why the recent exit of analysts and media might be a bullish contrarian signal for cannabis
