Always a blast mingling with the shakers & movers. It’s meet-ups like these that really get me jazzed about the entrepreneurial grind. Every chat and handshake is a reminder that diving into your own business is not just a leap of faith, but a fun adventure. #makeithappen taken in The Omni King Edward Hotel by @fezup

Asipre to inspire the young leaders of tommorow and prove them that they are far more capable than what they were taught in school. All they need is a little push in the right direction, an ear that hears them out, and a brain to pick. #careernight2018 #tribeofmentors #entrepreneurship #SFU #education taken in Sfu Beedie School of Business by @fezup

Should medical patients and recreational consumers be treated differently?

Fez from Elevate Wellness raises an important question about Canada's current regulatory framework.

Medical patients, including veterans, can have very different needs from recreational consumers. Yet many of the same product restrictions apply to both markets.

Should there be a separate approach to product formats, potency limits and patient needs?

It's a conversation worth having. by @fezup

Burn no.11 and somehow, one of my best so far...

@burningman has meant different things to me over the yrs.

The art. The absurdity. Strangers being kind for no reason. Tens of 1000s of ppl building a city in the middle of bf nowhere, taking care of each other, and leaving nothing behind (almost @bigimagination747 😜)

And after enough yrs out there, some of the principles stop feeling like slogans. Radical self-reliance, participation, gifting, leave no trace... you just kinda start living them.

Time works differently out there too...
Not in a lysergic acid way. Nor in an S-isomer or R-isomer Kitty way either.
More in a “sunrise or sunset?” kinda way.
You lose your normal reference points.

Then you look around and someone has spent 2 yrs building a giant piece of completely unnecessary art just to drag it into the desert, share it with strangers and maybe burn it 5 days later. Makes you rethink what “reasonable” even means.

This yr was fkn cold. Wet. Muddy. and just like the mud burn and last yr a lot of plans went to sh*t.

Been reading a lot of ppl on Reddit saying that the jiuce isn't worth the squeeze any more... that with all the million$ the org makes (loses) every yr they should change the dates, change the location, make it easier, or at least solve the 6-10+ hr exodus issue...
I dunno. If you want predictability, and comfort, there are much better party beach towns and resorts.

One of my favourite days was actually after the rain. The 8 of us couldn’t really bike anywhere, so we spent the whole day on foot. Camp to camp. Meeting neighbours. Sitting arnd talking nonsense for hrs. No mission. No schedule. Nowhere else we needed to be.

This yr was also different cuz, for the first time, I got to take a step back and watch a camp we started actually become a community of its own. Seeing friends contribute, strangers lead, parties fill up, and ppl experience their first Burn through something we helped co-create.

Maybe that’s what Burn does to you.
You start by going there to experience everything.
Eventually, you realize the best part is contributing something worth experiencing.

Most conversations around AI in regulated industries are still happening at the surface level.

Meanwhile, companies are quietly using it behind the scenes to reduce operational friction, structure decision-making, automate repetitive workflows, and create leverage where teams are already stretched thin.

Catch Elevate Wellness founder Fez Rismani on June 1st at the CannaVision ’26 Executive Summit in Toronto leading the discussion around the practical side of that shift alongside an incredible group of operators and industry leaders.

Not “AI will change everything.”
More like: what actually works, where it breaks, and how businesses are applying it in the real world today.

Looking forward to the conversations ahead.

Tomorrow’s THRIVE Conference is officially sold out.

Catch our founder leading the discussion around how AI is actually being implemented inside modern businesses today, from workflow automation and operational bottlenecks to decision-making and execution.

The conversation around AI is rapidly shifting from theory to practical implementation, and that’s where some of the most interesting discussions are starting to happen.

Big thanks to @bcfoodandbev, the THRIVE Conference team, and @fortisbc for putting this together.

Every trip feels like a checkpoint.
Same person, slightly updated mindware 🤖

Had a blast diving into how AI and multi-agent workflows are quietly reshaping our operations at every level.

Bottom line:
It’s not about if you’ll adopt this technology.
It’s about whether you’ll lead the transition - or scramble to catch up.

Adapt early. Or get out.
— Coordinated
