The older i get the more i value authentic human contact and the less i value polished and agenda driven 'statements'.

I had an hour long conversation with an Uber driver in Tampa who was also an investor in the marijuana industry. Actually learned a lot, especially how it’s more of a conventional big business than most people think. Most people think it’s a bunch of stoners in tie died shirts coming up with new blends, when it’s actually a bunch of PhD chemists in a lab. Interesting stuff.
