Based out of Brainerd, Luke embodies Canna Connect. He has helped us set our sights beyond media and events and focus on becoming an education company.

The Canna Connect Show with Stef Mulrooney debuts 12/23

Stef Mulrooney is a friend and long-time supporter of Canna Connect. She serves as Sr. Director of Client Relations and Training at Global Organic Distro, the powerhouse behind BLNCD and Foundry Nation.

Stef has traveled the country working to normalize and destigmatize cannabis in all forms including CBD, hemp-derived THC, and medical cannabis.

We love talking to Stef because she is an experienced consumer, a long-time leader at one of the most consistent and popular hemp brands, and a genuinely kind human.
