Episode Highlights:
In today’s episode of "Business Unchained," we are delighted to sit down with George Irwin, a former US rugby player turned green tech and cannabis entrepreneur. His story is not just inspiring; it's a playbook for anyone looking to make their mark in the rapidly evolving green industry.
[58:09] "My success is driven from fear. That's not always a good place, but you either get it done or there's no plan B, there's no failure."
During our conversation, Irwin shares his journey from landscaping to innovating in tissue culture and cannabis cultivation, facing challenges and achieving success. He discusses his commitment to quality, his son's cancer battle motivating his cannabis work, and his vision for a unique dispensary in Atlantic City. Irwin also emphasizes the importance of giving back through education and community projects, while Mascia relates his own transition from finance to franchising and back to his financial passion.
[37:44] I'm afraid to go back to how I used to have to live. Paying my rent, having a car payment, those things scare me."-George Irwin
