I VALUE CUSTOMER
FEEDBACK AND IN-
PERSON INTERACTIONS
SO MUCH BECAUSE IT
ALLOWS US TO STAY
ON THE CUTTING
EDGE OF WHAT
PEOPLE WANT WHEN IT
COMES TO GROWING
CANNABIS AT HOME.”
What are your company’s strengths?
We can take customer feedback on our
grow kits and videos and implement it
almost instantaneously. Utilizing this
valuable information has allowed us
to design the perfect cannabis growing
experience with ease and affordability in
mind. We also have detailed videos that
outline the different growing processes
of the cannabis plant, something not too
many sites have in such detail. Most howto-grow
content is in text and image form.
What are some of your
proudest moments?
After we sold our first 25 starter kits, I was
ecstatic and extremely proud. That was
a huge milestone and something that
showed me this business was going somewhere
great!
What significant things have you
learned so far about the industry?
One of the most important things I have
learned about the industry thus far is how
quickly it is evolving and advancing. I
have also learned that as a company, if you
do not keep up and evolve at the same rate,
you’re going to get left behind. I value customer
feedback and in-person interactions
so much because it allows us to stay on the
cutting edge of what people want when it
comes to growing cannabis at home.
What have you learned about starting
and growing a company?
Not only is it tough, but to be successful
with it, you need to have a willingness
to learn, implement, and pivot on a daily
basis. I am constantly
reading up on the latest
industry insights and trends
so I can pivot my business
accordingly. I have also
learned that there isn’t a
finish line where once you
reach it, your business will
always be successful. Even
after you find success, you
need to continually update
and advance to stay on top.
What words of wisdom
can you share about the
business, the industry, or
the future of the industry?
Right now, the cannabis
industry is highly competitive,
but it is up to all of us
as cannabis enthusiasts and
business owners to band
together as activists to propel
this movement to heights
which it has yet to reach.
Share your favorite story from
a day on the job.
I don’t have one specific day that jumps
out at me, but I will say I am always
excited when I do my first one-on-one
with a client. GreenBox Grown also
offers one-on-one sessions where one of
our growers will help a client set up their
grow kit and teach them how to use it. I
always enjoy going out and doing these
because it always brings me back to
when I first learned how to grow. Going
through all of the basics like how to pH
your water and how to transplant your
clones. It is something I really enjoy.
What makes your employees
so awesome? How does your
team bond?
Our team has bonded over the similar
passions of growing and proving a service
that helps other people in a positive way.
Growing together, as well as setting up
various grow sites, has really helped the
team bond as those types of activities
require a lot of teamwork.
Please feel free to include anything
further you’d like to share.
I would just like to say thank you so much
for this opportunity. GreenBox Grown
has a very clear mission and that is to
help others by providing an affordable
means to medical cannabis. Because we
do so in such a sustainable and simple
manner, our clients end up becoming more
knowledgeable about their medicine and
end up better off in the end.
