We had the good fortune of connecting with Leslie Gardner and Qazi’s Islam and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Leslie and Qazi’s, how do you think about risk?
Risk is part of our DNA. Our success today is a result of taking risks. A new future is just a decision away. Taking a risk means going beyond your comfort zone in order to grow. It is your brain’s job to convince you to play it safe. There is a chance that you will be told you’ll never succeed or that trying something new is a waste of time.
We still allow our anxiety to dominate us sometimes even when these thoughts lack any rational basis. Rather than planning for what might happen, we focus on “what if?” when taking risks. It’s part of our DNA. As entrepreneurs, we have thrown everything we have to start our businesses. We left our stable careers in order to pursue our dreams and ambitions. Sometimes, it may be necessary to take a leap of faith in order to grow as an individual and as an organization. Risk-taking is the very reason why we are where we are today. Being part of the Digital Cannabis Industry comes with a number of rewards on top of the risk. You will be rewarded in many different ways if you are part of a thriving community that will grow into a multi-billion dollar industry. From the people we work with, to the education we share, working in our community will have many benefits for you. You’re just one decision away from a new future. We urge you not to let fear of risk kill your opportunity, because you may regret what could have been for the rest of your life.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Cannaline was founded with a rebellious spirit and an ambitious objective in mind; to provide cannabis businesses with a revolutionary marketing solution, perfectly tuned to optimize and grow their business.

It all started like the best ideas do…. with two friends in a coffee shop. We knew we wanted to create something different, a “not-a-service but a solution” cannabis marketing agency that could really change things for cannabis business owners. Working in the marketing industry for 11 years and running our prior agency Imageline Studios, We knew we have always had a love for helping business owners in industries that had marketing disadvantages. Hence, why we love the cannabis industry. The cannabis industry is one of the most controversial but fastest growing industries that is stuck in a marketing gray area. From SEO to social media being different than any other industry, we pride ourselves in having the knowledge to truly transform your cannabis business.

Marketing companies don’t have the best reputation and we know this, to us what sets us apart and its a little cliche to say but its that we care. We have a passion for helping grow businesses and watching them flourish.

It definitely hasn’t always been easy, I think any cannabis business can say that. The market and rules are continually changing on top of social media always keeping us on our toes. We have truly had to be chameleons. With that said it’s always fun.
