The Cannabis Business Coach Michael Zaytsev interviews and coaches Vladimir Bautista, the Co-Founder of Happy Munkey, one of New York's most influential Cannabis lifestyle brands.

Vlad shares the story of his come-up and the motivation for starting Happy Munkey, which has quickly become internationally known for its high end, yet very inclusive Cannabis events. Combining his background in music and hospitality with his wide network, Vlad and Happy Munkey have become a powerful force of Cannabis community connection. Recently, the Happy Munkey team has been creating original media content which can sometimes be overwhelming when there are so many creative angles and avenues to explore.
