Jason Ackerman on Going from Cod to Cannabis

The CSE’s Barrington Miller sat down with Jason Ackerman, the CEO of TerrAscend Corp. (CSE:TER) to dig deeper into his vision for the company as the recently appointed CEO of the organization.

In this discussion, the reformed banker and online grocer shares how his past experiences have equipped him for a career in cannabis, including his thoughts on how delivering cannabis is a lot easier than convincing people to buy fish online (3:53), how previous crises (e.g. hurricanes) have helped him build a playbook for COVID-19 (8:31), and why banking reform for cannabis businesses will dramatically reduce the cost of capital and help legal business compete with black market suppliers (11:50).

Listen until the end to hear how TerrAscend is attracting new customers in today’s market, the strategic relationship with Canopy Growth, and why he’s excited for the upcoming M&A cycle in the industry.
