What happens when your passion for luxury and cannabis meet, and it actually works? I sat down with Brett Heyman, founder and creative director of Edie Parker, to talk about how she transformed a cult-favorite fashion brand into a design-forward cannabis company without losing her identity, vision, or edge. Brett is proof that you can build a business that’s playful and purposeful, rooted in values but never afraid to push boundaries.
Key Takeaways:
Why cannabis needs brands just as much as it needs policy reform.
If no one’s building the space you belong in, you’ve just found your mission.
The real story behind creating THC products women actually want to buy.
Why social justice must remain front and center in this industry.
Your perspective as a woman isn’t a hurdle—it’s your edge.
