    30 Year in Review 2019

    Welcome to a very special episode of Let’s Talk Hemp where we take a good hard look back at all the crazy wonderful things we were a part of in 2019.

    Last year was super busy for us. With all the hemp events we spoke at and participated in worldwide, we were able to visit six continents and meet so many fantastic people. From the Asian Hemp Summit in Kathmandu to Hemp on the Slope in Colorado, we had an absolute blast hanging out with like-minded folks from every corner of the globe.

    Listen in to today’s episode, and hear about what was accomplished this year in the cannabis space, the many things Morris did for a month in China, Ralph and Dan’s best prank of 2019, plus much more!

    24 Patrick Flaherty – Fiber and the Future

    Today we talk with Patrick Flaherty from P F Design Lab, who is studying the entire supply chain of hemp in the United States to better understand where hemp can replace traditional materials.

    With the progress over the past five years, no one is denying that the hemp market is making strides. At each event we attend, we sell out every seat, every venue, every time.

    But while the hemp market in the United States continues to grow, there is still a disconnect between the farmers growing the hemp and the manufacturers who can make use out of it. Patrick Flaherty is interested in closing that gap.

    Where do these gaps in the hemp market exist? Which everyday products could benefit from a hemp upgrade? And how many acres does it take to justify a processing plant?

    This is an amazing story of the versatility and opportunity that remains largely untapped in the emerging hemp market.

    In this episode, you’ll hear how the future of hemp can impact our farmers throughout the country.
