"Today’s Cannabis Industry Leaders MUST Be More Adaptive Than Ever Before..."
Date: May 14, 2025
From the desk of Evan Erickson
Tell me if this sounds familiar…
Your inbox is overflowing with week-old messages only you can reply to, and new ones are piling up daily. You stopped trying to plan your day or even keep a to-do list months ago because your days are spent putting out “fires” or addressing the constant “shoulder taps” and “Gotta minutes?” that come in from your team.
There’s no time to read, think, or work on the crucial but non-urgent projects you love doing, and that actually make an impact, and most days, it feels like you’re everyone else’s executive assistant.
If you eat lunch, it’s on the run or at your desk, and you know your mental-sanity is suffering.
You’re exhausted at the end of each day, but it never seems like anything significant gets done. At best, you’re just spinning plates, but you quietly wonder how long you can keep it together.
When you get home, your family complains that you’re working too much and never around. It stings, especially when you remember you’re supposedly doing all of this for them.
But what if it could be different?
What If, Instead, Your Average Day Looked More Like This...
You wake up, check your email for team certificates issued, and the outstanding training requirements via real-time reporting analytics. You review it, and aside from a few “Not Started” team enrollments, all the key compliance training requirements are “Completed” across the board.
You start to ask about the metrics that are behind the target (ex. the “Not Started” metrics) but then you notice your Human Resources (HR) department has already included an explanation of the steps they’re taking to get those Team Members back on track by the end of the week.
Knowing today is taken care of, you’re free to focus on operations, think, and strategize about the future.
As a general rule, you don’t attend any meetings except for the “Monthly Compliance Reviews” and “New Employee Onboarding” training, and aside from check-ins with your leadership team, you’re free to focus on the work you love doing that makes the biggest impact.
Best of all, you have deep, meaningful relationships with your professional peers and Team Members, and you have ample time to enjoy personal hobbies as well as trips and experiences with the ones you love.
Of these two (2) scenarios, which feels the most true for you?
If the first scenario hits a little too close to home and the second scenario sounds like an unachievable “cannabis dream,” then I have good news…
The “entrepreneurial dream” scenario I just described can be your reality, but to achieve it you must first confront a harsh truth that most cannabis industry leaders will never learn and even fewer will admit.
I call it the “Cannabis Curse”…
It's The "Cannabis Curse"...
The "Cannabis Curse" States That The More Valuable You're To Your Operations, The Less Valuable Your Business Is... Read That Again Because It’s So, So Important...
This truth can be difficult to hear.
As a cannabis industry pioneer we not only believe we can do it all, but in the back of our minds we believe we must do it all because, frankly, we always have done it all.
And so far, (well, in the early days, at least), doing it all worked just fine. Heck, it’s what got us where we are today!
But now, “doing it all” isn’t working as well as it once did, is it?
This is why I call it the “Cannabis Curse”…
The skills, talents, and abilities that were required in the early days of our businesses – the ones that enabled us to succeed where others failed – are the same skills, talents, and abilities that will eventually cause our companies to stall out and for us to burn out.
Because what no one tells us is that the “Operating System” (aka “OS”) required to launch a business is not the same “OS” we need to scale our business.
What Is An "Operating System" (aka "OS")..?
Whether you realize it or not, your company is already running on a training “Operating System” (aka “OS”).
Just like a computer, you must always run the most up-to-date version of your company “OS” if you want to maximize output and prevent the systems (both you and your company) from crashing.
So, what exactly is an “OS”, anyway? According to my sources (read: Google), the definition of an operating system is:
op·er·at·ing sys·tem (/ˈäpəˌrādiNG ˌsistəm/)
"A Set Of Algorithms & A Common Language That Enables Different Components To Communicate With One (1) Other In Support Of The Desired Outputs Of A Machine."
In other words, it’s what allows you to keep your email, calendar, Zoom, and 64 internet tabs open simultaneously.
If you look closely, you’ll see there are three (3) components listed in this definition that make up any operating system:
- 1) A set of algorithms...
- 2) A common language...
- 3) Desired outputs...
So how do these three components relate to your business operating system? I’ll break it down…
Algorithm Data
Algorithms exist in the form of checklists, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and company policies, as well as many of the unwritten, tribal rules that govern the organization.
Common Language
The typical way businesses establish a Common Language is through regular meetings. But metrics scorecards and communication tools like email, Slack, and Zoom also make up the Common Language.
Desired Outputs
"Desired Outputs" are the actual work product of a company. They might be called goals or objectives, or they may even be contained in your mission or vision statements.
So, is your company’s operating system due for an update? You’ll know if…
- Plans are loosely defined and rarely followed
- Work is chaotic, and nothing important ever seems to get done aside from the things that are “on fire”
- Team members need to constantly be told what to do, and no one seems to know what’s going on!
- Meetings feel like a waste of time
- Profits are low…even on higher sales
- You’re burned out and ready to quit…
With a scalable operating system in place, you’ll…
- Get vital business tasks out of your head & off of your todo list
- Eliminate mistakes and wasted time in your organization while empowering your employees to do their best work
- Learn how to “clone” your best people so you can get more done with fewer headaches
- Set strategic goals you’ll actually stick to
- Create clear accountability across all critical elements of the business, and…
- Go on vacation without checking your email or worrying about going out of business
Are you ready to reclaim the time & freedom you set out on this journey to obtain?
Everything You Need To Get Scale-ABLE
During the 8-module Scalable OS Accelerator, I’ll show you behind the scenes of how I’ve scaled 5 different businesses to over 8-figures (including 3 that made it on the Inc 500 list simultaneously) all while…
- Buying your dream vacation home
- Spending more of my summer at my beach house (plus taking a handful of other vacations)…
- Never missing a soccer practice or piano recital (and I have 4 kids)…
- And spending every Friday on date night with my wife.
I don’t say this to brag… I say it so you know that it’s possible to have it all, without sacrificing it all.
All you need is an operating system that will empower your company to drives itself to success without you having to be involved every second of every day.
Together we will implement key systems in place that allow you to:
- Save hours of mental energy obsessing about the wrong things…
- Gain personal freedom to take time off with your family…
- Seize new opportunities to strategically grow your net worth, and…
- Set your company on a fast-track to a higher valuation for a 8 or 9 figure exit!
You’ll leave with real results including your very own scalable training “Operating System” (aka “OS”) – don’t worry, we provide you all the training + brand new micro-learning modules released via our “Platform Roadmap” – and renewed clarity on exactly where your cannabis company needs to go to provide YOU the wealth and freedom YOU deserve.
If that sounds like a worth goal, then I’d like to invite you to join us!
- FIRST, we’ll document the "set of ALGORITHMS" that'll identify team training essential to make your business run. These include your traditional Responsible Vendor Training, cannabis regulatory compliance & team enrollment + management... along with utilizing our "Platform Roadmap" where you'll request training via "crowdsourcing" that's needed for your team.
- SECOND, we’ll define and develop your company’s "COMMUNICATION architecture." & this includes real-time team reporting that you use to know if teams are behind or on track, as well as the certificate management & "Communication Architecture" that lays out how compliance is ensured & maintain gov't training recordkeeping throughout your organization.
- FINALLY, we’ll clarify your cannabis business' “desired OUTPUTS" using proprietary eLearning solutions so your people & systems are all aligned & motivated to achieve a common goal.
How do we accomplish that? With proprietary eLearning solutions that power the model and will enable you to build a fully-customized “Operating System” (aka “OS”) that will scale as your cannabis business scales.
By the time we finish, you’ll have a fully customized and scalable training “Operating System” that can scale operations without you, so you can step out of the day-to-day and achieve your version of the cannabis dream!
Who should join?
To be a good fit for Scalable OS, you are probably:
- A highly-motivated founder who is actively seeking a framework that will allow your company to thrive at scale.
- A high-performing CEO who is ready to see your company grow, but is experience the constraints of scale.
- Open to seeking the support, coaching, and mentorship required to scale yourself and your company.
- Willing to share your experiences, provide valuable feedback, and raise the bar for yourself and others.
- Committed to “doing the work” and know that nothing great comes from sitting back on your heels waiting for it to come.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes, if for any reason at all you don’t feel the program is the right fit for you, we offer a 30-day “no questions asked” refund policy.
What is the time commitment? Will this be a distraction?
Are there minimum capital or revenue requirements to join?
What if I’m based outside the US?
How long will I have access to the community?
After the 8-module program, you’ll retain access to the materials specific to the accelerator as well as have continued access to the general Scalable community.
