Secret shopping. I’ve shopped, secretly, over a few formative decades, and as a CPG Shopper Marketing specialist. Now, there’s nothing secret about my shop. When I’m on-premise, I’m loud and proud. Of you.
As a cannabis industry insider, I’ve become seemingly connected to most in the Midwest cannabis community, from the many in the fishbowl and far afield, to the few, who’ve found their way into an exit bag.
Since 2016, I’ve done some complex thinking, lean planning, heavy lifting and potent pairing in the cannabis industry. Today, I’m blessed to have ample energy and disruptive ideas. To stand as a respected advocate for this audacious industry, a perennial do-er for women and a conscientious custodian of her right to equal opportunity.
I’ve also made my dauntless blend of corporate sensibility and entrepreneurial spirit make sense for your success. Now, after all I’ve been given, I give it back as, Good Basket, a purpose-built business consultancy. Good Basket is woven from the sturdiest material my professional and personal experiences have yielded me, and offers up the fruit of that labor.
You know I like to share. Cheers to building a good basket with you and yours, on purpose.
