Grow World x GrowPros: Inside the Legend, the Legacy & the Coming Cannabis Shakeup
🌱 In this first ever collaboration between GrowPros and GrowWorld, we sit down with an absolute legend in the cannabis cultivation space: Nick Morin, Founder & CEO of GrowWorld.
Nick's story runs deep in this industry. He's the mind behind CannaCribs, the show that gave millions an inside look at some of the largest commercial cannabis operations in the world, and he later built Growers Network into a community of 25,000+ members. That experience shaped the foundation of GrowWorld, a B2B equipment marketplace connecting commercial growers with manufacturers through a Try, Buy, Trade model, now serving over 1,000 growers across 55+ countries. In this episode, Nick breaks down how that journey from documenting grows to building the infrastructure behind them led to where GrowWorld stands today.
We're also joined by two key voices from the GPS side:
🏗️ Jeremy Johnson, Head of GPS Construction, brings 20+ years in the industry and a background from Oaksterdam University. Jeremy now focuses on building grow spaces from literally the ground up, and shares what it really takes to construct a facility that performs.
🎙️ Ben Matsuda, Partner at GrowPros and host of this episode, is a second generation cultivator who brings his own hands on growing background into the conversation.
Together, the group dives into where the cannabis industry has been, what's shifting right now, and the major regulation changes on the horizon that could reshape the space as we know it.
