In this episode, I sit down with Mikey Steinmetz, Co-Founder and Chief Servant Officer of Functional Kannabis+ (FK+), to discuss the powerful evolution of cannabis from its legacy market roots to the future of functional, wellness-oriented products.

Mikey shares his founding story behind Flow Kana, the rise of sungrown cannabis in Northern California, and the harsh regulatory challenges that forced a major pivot. We dive into how FK+ is reimagining cannabis through precise formulations for sleep, energy, focus, and relaxation—and how science, storytelling, and service are shaping the next generation of cannabis consumption.

We also explore:

  • The regulatory hurdles that changed everything for Flow Kana

  • How FK+ is bringing cannabis to the wellness aisle

  • Why Mikey and his wife Flavia are committed to functional, intentional formulations

  • Lessons from raising $200M and building legacy brands

  • The “One Plant” philosophy uniting hemp and marijuana

  • Advice for cannabis entrepreneurs on resilience and reinvention

Whether you're a cannabis operator, wellness brand builder, or simply curious about the future of the industry, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
