These " Seed to CEO " podcast guests answered:
JEANETTE WARD HORTON
CEO, NuProject
Portland, Oregon
I think it's what I tell myself every
day, which is to stress less and not
take it so seriously.
Cannabis is going to be hard for
much longer. (Securing) funding
to small businesses is going to be
hard for much longer. And so, you
just have to have joy in the midst
of it.
That's what I would tell myself
and other entrepreneurs, because
being an entrepreneur is hard.
HOPE JONES
President, Superior Phenos;
CEO, Emergent Cannabis Sciences
Phoenix
I stayed a bit quieter than I really
was comfortable with. I was such
a newbie and learning so much
that I don't know if that was right
or wrong.
I'm really inspired by the idea
of how you present yourself and
your confidence. I would have
been more confident, regardless
of my newness in this industry.
There were certain things that
I just knew we should be doing
differently. And I should have
made more of a stand and made
my voice clearer.
That's really been my motto at
ECS ever since.

to say, but you're hiring me to
protect your business and/or your
license. And so, this is my 2 cents.
You can take it or leave it, but I'm
not going to hold back.
SIMON NANKERVIS
CEO, The Source
Las Vegas
I would have been a little bit more
conservative in my projections
around how quickly I could turn
the business around.
I would have been a little
bit slower on my expectations
around how quickly you can bring
improvements. That's the biggest
learning I've had: You've just got
to take your time-especially
with the challenging period we
find ourselves in.
You've got to be mindful that
people are people, and we're all
getting faced with new hurdles
every day. And just when you
think you've got something
figured out, we get (the omicron
variant) or ... supply-chain
challenges.
It's a great industry, but I would
certainly say it is not for the faint
of heart.
