How The 1937 Group Is Building Cannabis Equity | Ambrose Jackson at Impact Row MjBizCon 2024

In this powerful episode filmed live at MJBizCon 2024, we bring together Ambrose Jackson, CEO of The 1937 Group, with Gary George, Real Cannabis Entrepreneur and 40 Tons guest host. 💬 🌱 This high-impact conversation breaks down how cannabis can be both business and justice when done with intention, community, and infrastructure. From owning cultivation, manufacturing, and retail operations to launching their own nonprofit, Ambrose shares how The 1937 Group is building something rare in cannabis—full vertical integration paired with real social equity work. Based in Chicago, his team is building brands, opening dispensaries, and transporting product across the state—all while actively investing in healing trauma and uplifting justice-impacted communities through The 1937 Foundation. Together, Gary and Ambrose discuss what the industry often misses: unity over ego, collective strength over competition, and how entrepreneurs from justice-impacted communities can scale—if the support is there. 🔑 Key takeaways from Ambrose and Gary include: Why Justice Row matters for visibility, access, and platforming real stories. How The 1937 Group is using every license class to control their destiny. Why trauma healing needs to be part of any social equity plan. How community + capital = real impact. Whether you're an investor, brand builder, or justice-impacted entrepreneur trying to grow in cannabis, this conversation lays out what real inclusion and infrastructure look like in practice.
