In this week’s podcast, we had the honor to interview Wendy Love Edge of Arkansas-based The Wendy Love Edge Show. We talked about sponsorship expectations, marketing, and branding in the cannabis industry and how her health journey led her to cannabis.
Let’s Get Lifted!
Drops or Salve; Why?
Both! And together. The entourage effect is always best! Bombard the ECS with different routes of administration and cannabinoids.
If you could be a cannabis superhero, who would you be?
The Green Goddess instantly spreads the truth about the plant to all who contact me.
What are your top 2 smoking songs?
Mary Jane Coolio, Roll Another Joint, Tom Petty

Dab into Business!
How did you get started; why?
My health journey brought me to cannabis. Once I realized that cannabis saved my life, the passion for talking about the plant and my health journey was overwhelming.
I started by creating a nonprofit to educate people about proper health and wellness and improve access to cannabis and other alternative health methods. We did this for six years, closing in 2021 due to the pandemic.
I have continued to create my show, The Wendy Love Edge Show, and I am now building the Wendy Love Edge Brand.
What’s your niche in the cannabis space? Why?
Healer, Educator, and Support to Patients. I think my passion for the plant, coupled with my health journey, has created a space for me. Or maybe I made it by marrying these things authentically.

Did you face any legal or criminal barriers to cannabis entry? If so, how did you overcome the barriers?
No.
Your talents, skills, experience, and knowledge you transferred to cannabis?
I worked in mainstream medicine for 25 years where I learned to multitask and coordinate people and things. I also learned to manage and lead a team to achieve success. In my jobs, over the years, I also provided a lot of education. All of the stills transferred to what I’m doing now.
Your talents, skills, experience, and knowledge you picked up while in cannabis?
Media, Film, Radio, Event Planning, Product Creation
What tech tools did you use to start your brand?
A computer and a phone.
How do you stand out from other brands within your target population?
My brand is new, and I am just ironing out a lot of this.
Tell us about your top-selling, promotional, or new product or service.
My show is probably the top-selling product. I am still working out the details of the rest.
