In this episode of the GDM Podcast, we sit down with Adam Bierman, the controversial co-founder of MedMen, to hear his side of the story on the company’s meteoric rise and dramatic fall. Whether you love him or hate him, you can’t ignore him—Bierman helped build the first billion-dollar U.S. cannabis company, forever shaping the industry.

✅ His new mission—helping others learn from his journey with his book, Weed Empire
