In this episode of Practical Politics, host Sabrina Noah speaks with cannabis industry leader and strategist AnnaRae Grabstein about her journey from the early days of Prop 215 to founding the first cannabis testing lab and now advising companies on how to scale, lead, and navigate complex regulatory landscapes. AnnaRae emphasizes that meaningful progress in emerging industries requires both visionary leadership and a grounded understanding of policy, especially in environments where self-regulation often fails. This conversation underscores the importance of lobbying as a tool to shape fair, consistent regulations—and reminds CEOs that their companies must be represented at the policy table to safeguard their interests and ensure long-term success. #podcast #cannabiseducation #ceo #girlboss #leadership
