💜 Hey Everyone , excited to be part of this community! I’m LaTosha Holbrook, founder of Life Is A Style Café a cannabis-infused wellness café where we’re blending health, ritual, and technology. One of the unique things I’m building is integrating AI tools for healing and self-care, so people experience not just a café but a lifestyle of wellness and innovation. I’m in a season where I’m positioning for investment and want to connect with the right partners who see the vision of cannabis + wellness + tech coming together. Does anyone know if there’s a video that dives into raising capital or structuring for investors? I’d love to tap into those resources while I’m growing my investor strategy. Grateful to be here ready to learn, share, and keep building history together. 🙌🏾✨💜

Most cannabis brands fail not because of product quality, but because they skip the basic groundwork. A brand isn’t just a logo or Instagram page, it’s a carefully designed structure meant to last. Think of it like building a house: without blueprints, inspections, and skilled contractors, the structure won’t stand. The same applies to brands: without a proper foundation, you’re destined to fail. Here are 4 key essentials to focus on when building your brand: 1. Treat It Like Architecture, Not a Hobby Slapping a logo on packaging isn’t enough. You need proper systems, strategy, and structure that will hold up under pressure. Start with your business entity - LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp, so you’re protecting yourself from liability and setting the right tax framework. An LLC may work for lean startups, but an S-Corp or C-Corp can unlock better deductions, cleaner equity structures, and future investment opportunities. Next, address tax planning. Even though non–plant touching brands are safe from the 280E, you’ll still need a solid accounting system to manage write-offs, track expenses, and properly structure payments to founders or partners. This prevents tax headaches and positions you for long-term financial health. Finally handle your legal compliance. Contracts, quality agreements, and IP protection (logos, trademarks, packaging designs) ensure your foundation can handle pressure. If the brand grows fast, you won’t be scrambling to fix what you skipped at the beginning 2. Define a Clear Niche One of the biggest mistakes is trying to appeal to everyone. Narrow your focus to a specific audience, understand their needs, language, and culture, and craft your message directly to them. Once established, expand strategically. 3. Build Visual and Storytelling Assets Your brand identity should include consistent design, guidelines, and storytelling. Invest in at least one strong designer for brand assets and another for daily marketing. Visuals tell your story, but consistency makes people trust it.
