On this episode Tom is having a chat with Joe Oliver, the Director and Co-founder of LDN CBD and a serial entrepreneur. Joe is a recurring guest who we spoke to on our first episode about cannabis sustainability. Joe tells us how he and his friend, Aaron Horn, opened the first CBD shop in London, the obstacles they faced along the way, and what lessons they have learned including Covid-19. He also gives very good advice for anyone who is thinking of opening a CBD store anywhere in Europe and how to succeed in what is now a very saturated CBD market.
