During Kevin’s Eagle Scout project, he learned a great deal about communicating effectively. As an able bodied person at the age of 14, he led and mentored deaf and blind scouts for a year. It was then, and continues to be, a very impactful experience in his life.
It was in a programming class in college that Kevin found a passion and love for technology. From never being in the library prior, to practically living there! After completing only one class, he interviewed his way into his first tech job, starting what would become an impressive career in enterprise technology. Listening a lot, Kevin earned his way up the corporate ladder; going public with one company, consulting for VC firms, and helming two others as CEO. Leading an Apple Reseller, Kevin’s team helped bring iPads to Airport kiosks, which are now ubiquitous today. A follow up consulting opportunity related to Cannabis Point of Sale systems; Kevin saw the Cannabis Money Problem, and his next big idea.
What many may see as a tech, finance, regulatory, or compliance company; communication was the core to Kevin’s Founder’s Journey, and company building philosophy. So many experiences in his life he shared, reinforce the lessons of effective communication. It will be key to their success, and the industry at large, as Cannabis becomes mainstream.

If you can never get enough true crime... Congratulations, you’ve found your people.
Dr. Death
We’re at our most vulnerable when we go to our doctors. We trust the person at the other end of that scalpel. We trust the hospital. We trust the system. Christopher Duntsch was a neurosurgeon who radiated confidence. He claimed he was the best in Dallas. If you had back pain, and had tried everything else, Dr. Duntsch could give you the spine surgery that would take your pain away. But soon his patients started to experience complications, and the system failed to protect them. Which begs the question: who - or what - is that system meant to protect? From Wondery, the network behind the hit podcast Dirty John, DR. DEATH is a story about a charming surgeon, 33 patients and a spineless system. Reported and hosted by Laura Beil.
