Jason does an amazing job of asking the right questions and leaving no stone unturned for SOPs. Has great use of jargon and breaking down scientific terms so us “layman’s” can understand. Thank you for all the hard work to make this podcast possible 💗🙏🏼
Jason is a great host, knowledgeable about the science, the equipment, and the business of cannabis. His passion for the work shines through. The guests he hosts are also usually very interesting and informative.
I have learned a lot in the last week and a half of listening to this podcast. From hydrocarbon extraction to solventless to EtOH. This has made an impact on my team of 23 employees helping them become more educated in the field they are so passionate about. I would pay money for this information and it is accessible for free. Thank you for everything you have done so far and cannot wait for future episodes.
As a professional extractor In the cannabis industry, I’ve found this podcast to be the best resource for learning about the equipment, processes, and products in the extraction game.
