Yesterday, our team member Derek Afton led another High Mind Networking Lunch, a growing monthly meetup he initiated that brought together 60+ dispensary managers, operators, and emerging brands from across Michigan.

Hosted at Trackhouse Bar & Grill, this wasn’t a typical “show up and pitch” event. We passed the mic.

Each person shared:
• Who they are
• What they’re building
• Where they need support

Real introductions were made.
Jobs were discussed.
Serious deals moved forward.

If you’re interested in joining the next High Mind Lunch, stay tuned!
