This one is major, folks. I sat down with my good friend and longtime collaborator, Pete Feurtado Jr. of Big Pete's Treats. Pete Jr. and I have been talking about business, marketing, and the cannabis industry for years, and this was a great opportunity to share that origin story. The story of Big Pete's Treats is a Santa Cruz tale about a family business. Pete Jr. has played a pivotal role leading the brand through phases of growth and development.
