We had the good fortune of connecting with Ann Marie Sorrell and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ann Marie, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
There are a lot of negative stigma’s attached to the cannabis industry. People with medical concerns may not be aware of just how beneficial cannabis can be for their health. Also, some people may be unaware of how lucrative this industry is. According to Forbes, the legal Cannabis market is projected to hit $43 Billion by 2025.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Cannabiziac is a global incubator and member-based company helping new and existing businesses tap into the growing $38 Billion Cannabis industry. Starting a new business is never an easy feat, but I am very fortunate to have owned and operated a marketing firm for over 17 years. All of the lessons that I learnt building my first company; The Mosaic Group has helped me start to build my current company.

There are ups and downs to any business no matter what industry you’re in, but when your intention is to empower and positively impact people in your community, it makes all of the lessons worth it.
