The company is adding 100+ women per week in the U.S. and plans to recruit women in Europe and South America in the latter half of 2023. Panelists are recruited through the founders’ personal networks and are invited because of their Influencer status and desire for deeper connection with brands and companies.
You won’t find these extraordinary women in any other traditional research panels.
Weekly Insight Salons will feature panelists that have been hand-picked to discuss specific topics. All sessions will be conducted online and are designed and moderated by RIVA-trained moderators. Observers are monitored for questions, probes, and follow-ups throughout each session. Observers receive an Action Brief after each session and panelists will be available for follow-up IDIs, ethnographies and custom focus groups should a brand want to hear more.
“We wanted to make it easy for brands to hear what women are talking about on an on-going basis, and to create stronger connections and advocacy between brands and their customers,” says Stacy Graiko,co-Founder at The She Lab. “Our women panelists want to collaborate with brands and companies because they believe they can help them be better. These women have something to say and an impact to make, and we want to connect them to brands that are equally optimistic about creating change.”
“Women’s voices matter and we get to facilitate deep and raw discussions to elevate their voices into actionable insights for brands,” says Faith James, co-Founder at The She Lab. “Women are having these conversations constantly in their own circles, around their kitchen tables, at work and over drinks. Through the She Lab, we’re creating opportunities for brands to engage with those conversations when they need it, without having to commission traditional research studies. This means virtually any brand with any budget level can access qualitative insight when they need it.”
Clients can choose to attend the Insight Salons as a silent observer, or submit questions that are specific to their category and brand and hear the panelists discuss them. Fees range from $297 for observing to $1,000+ to hear panelists discuss unique brand questions per session, and the bi-weekly schedule includes sessions with Gen X, Gen Y (Millennials), Gen Z, Boomers and Parents.
The Insight Salons launch January 2023 and brands are invited to experience the inaugural salons on January 10th and 11th, at no cost.

]]>MIAMI, Fla. /FLORIDA NEWSWIRE/ — The Flowery, a Florida-based medical marijuana company and cannabis producer, announced today four new additions to its executive leadership team: Mike Smuts as Chief Operating Officer (COO), Brian Roberts as Director of Cultivation, Harry Rosenfeld as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and Kevin Szymanski as Director of Supply Chain and Logistics.
These four executives were formerly part of the key group that oversaw One Plant’s operations and ultimate sale to Cresco Labs for 213MM in 2021. This power move by The Flowery further reinforces the company’s vision and commitment to become the standard for quality products and the State’s sweetheart brand.
“Mike, Brian, Harry, and Kevin are accomplished and passionate industry veterans with exceptional track records of success that will accelerate the company’s growth as a quality and culture leader in the Florida market. We couldn’t be happier to have them on board. We have some very big plans brewing and we are building the absolute ‘A’ team to execute it,” said The Flowery’s CEO, Elad Kohen.
“I couldn’t be more stoked (or grateful) to join a team whose driving force is rooted in high grade ganja and authentic cannabis culture as The Flowery,” said Mike Smuts, COO. “The market has yet to see a company that truly delivers top shelf product as well as a cohesive and authentic experience in both their digital and brick and mortar client experience. Our commitment to quality over everything, genetics with real provenance, and our exclusive partnerships with the country’s top brands will make the flowery the premier cannabis destination in the sunshine state.”
With over 12 years of experience in cannabis vertical operations in single and multistate markets, Mike Smuts has learned a great deal. Among his accomplishments was establishing Denver’s first downtown retail locations and establishing some of Florida’s first MMTCs, which are now some of the top cannabis companies in the state. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services also appointed Mike to its Medical Marijuana Committee in 2019.
Roberts, another veteran in the cannabis industry, started his journey in 2004, learning everything he could about cultivation from several mentors and popular forums at the time. Along the way, Brian developed a deep passion, experience and the required technical attention to detail required to grow world class cultivars. In 2018, Brian made the move and joined the Florida medical program.
Rosenfeld brings 36 years of forensic accounting experience to the team. He has worked for both public and private companies. He played a key role in taking Burger King and Bluma Wellness public. Szymanski brings 30+ plus years of experience, having previously worked at companies including UPS, FedEx, Coca-Cola, among others. He was also part of the team that built One Plant Florida, now Cresco Labs. Having his expertise on board will help push The Flowery’s processing to a world-class level. It will also allow the company to expand its delivery operation.
About The Flowery

At The Joint of Miami, Yohan will intermingle his full range of harmonious talents with a dynamic delivery of entertainment. His residency will include “AfroTecha” events and “A Night with Yohan Marley” dates. “AfroTecha” events will see Yohan curating evenings that present renowned DJ’s and artists from around the world while “A Night with Yohan Marley” will find the musician either in full concert mode or hosting performances from his special invited guests.
“It’s important to bring an event like this to Miami because Miami is a very distinctive place with innumerable culturally diverse African backgrounds,” explains Yohan Marley. “Afrobeat is one of the biggest musical forces in the world. As an artist and producer of this music, my mission is to showcase it and I’m very excited that The Joint of Miami shares my passion and vision. My residency will be a dedicated place where not only Afro-Caribbeans, but all people can come and experience the ultimate love vibration of Jamaican dancehall music fused with Afrobeat fused with Afro House fused with Trini Soca and so much more!”
The Joint of Miami officially opened the Fourth of July weekend. As the first cannabis consumer friendly art and music lounge in Wynwood, the location boasts the work of visual artists from across the country as well as local Miami talent featured in the venue’s indoor and outdoor gallery. Nightly entertainment runs the gamut of comedy, spoken word, reggae, hip hop, jazz and even a Grateful Dead cover band. With a full bar and a ‘munchie’ food truck on site, the venue is set up as a haven for cannabis fueled enjoyment.

After a history riddled with court cases, jail time and DEA busts, the cult cannabis celebrity has passed on the spoils of his weed war struggles to his children. While King Forchion oversees The Joint of Miami, his daughters run his NJWeedman’s Joint operations in Trenton, NJ.
Forchion on the other hand is busy vetting investors for the expansion of his brand. He stays busy speaking on panels and exploring cannabis consultation and franchise opportunities with the intention of branching out to additional locations across the country.
The Joint of Miami is serving as a beautiful oasis for Miami’s cannabis loving community, offering an eclectic art and music haven for connoisseurs and supporters alike. For more information about The Joint of Miami, get lit at https://thejointofmiami.com/.

The mixture of their value-proposition, team, and unique go-to-market strategy lines them up for a really big opportunity in a space ready for disruption.”
“Expetitle is disrupting title insurance from the ground up,” said Sean Daly, the company’s CEO and co-founder. “Consumers today can find a home online, tour it virtually, and arrange financing from their laptop, but when it comes to the closing process, most transactions still happen in a lawyer’s office with a thick stack of paper. Expetitle has changed that with a fully remote process, giving buyers, sellers, and their agents everything they need with just a click of a button. With this new capital, we will be rolling out our solution to new states and with new partners across the country.”
