Today, we’re sharing a special episode of a new podcast called What’s Your Problem? from Pushkin Industries. In this episode Jacob Goldstein, former host of Planet Money, talks with Joy and Raft Hollingsworth, the brother and sister team that runs The Hollingsworth Cannabis Company. They share how they got into the legal cannabis farming business and what they're doing to get more people of color involved.

What’s Your Problem? explains the problems really smart people are trying to solve right now, from creating a drone delivery service to building a car that can truly drive itself. Jacob Goldstein talks with entrepreneurs and innovators about the future they’re trying to build – and the problems they have to solve to get there.

If you weren’t aware of the weight the word “marijuana” carries — you’re not alone, and this episode will help shed light on its convoluted past. Our series Weed Words is where each month we unpack a widely recognized but narrowly understood term or phrase related to cannabis.
