And one of the smartest yet has just dropped, promising to give women guidance on \u201cHow to Do the Pot.\u201d The seasonal, narrative podcast tackles the most common questions curious female cannabis consumers Google most \u2014 usually in secret.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">As an early innovator in the cannabis industry, April Pride\u2019s path has taken her from fashion designer to cannabis company founder to podcast host. In 2016, she launched Van der Pop, one of the first luxury lifestyle brands in the business to offer high-style smoking accoutrements. Later, Pride incorporated an educational resource into Van der Pop\u2019s digital presence dedicated to the many new consumers she\u2019d attracted. Two years later, it was acquired by Canadian behemoth Canopy Growth Corporation \u2014 the first cannabis producer publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Through her work, Pride recognized that women were an underserved and fast-growing market who wanted information about cannabis, especially as legalization and positive acceptance continued to spread across North America. Her foresight earned her the title from Fashion magazine (aka Canada\u2019s Vogue) as \u201cthe unofficial godmother of the women and weed movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cWhen I started my first company that designed discerning products for cannabis, I underestimated the need for education. While women appreciated my products, many were not confident in their knowledge about how to buy cannabis and how it could serve them,\u201d Pride told me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">For her cannabis career encore, Pride enlisted friend and business partner Ellen Scanlon to form Of Like Minds, a new cannabis education platform for women. Part of its portfolio is podcasting, with production in collaboration with Western Sound, an award-winning Los Angeles-based studio and Gina Delvic, the founding producer of \u201cCall Your Girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cWe decided to form Of Like Minds, a business with a mission to equip women with the information they need to understand cannabis,\u201d Pride said. \u201cWe decided that a podcast would be one of the best first steps to provide quality information and promote discreet discovery for women still uncertain about the plant and its effects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Listeners will hear from a diverse array of industry experts and professionals who have incorporated cannabis in their lives. Guests will include a professional athlete who uses CBD in training, a retiree who uses cannabis for pain management, a medical doctor who advises pregnant women, and a felon-turned-entrepreneur. \u201cHow to Do the Pot\u2019s\u201d first season will focus on topics relevant to the health and happiness of women such as pregnancy, sleep and auto-immune conditions like endometreosis\u2014of which women account for 8 out of 10 diagnoses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cThe industry has long been male-led, which overlooked the needs of women, the fastest growing consumer segment,\u201d says Ellen Scanlon, co-founder Of Like Minds. \u201c\u2018How to Do the Pot\u2019 is our opportunity to share the best stories in cannabis, change hearts, and minds, while helping women feel more confident in their choices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Here\u2019s a preview of what the first three episodes cover\u2014available for download now with the next three released weekly on Dec. 3, 7, and 10.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Episode 1: What\u2019s up with CBD?<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cAn examination of \u2018the cannabis that won\u2019t get you high,\u2019 that\u2019s been billed as capable of doing everything else.
