Brett Heyman had led PR efforts at Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana before launching a line of clutches – named Edie Parker, after her daughter – in 2010 that quickly took off thanks to vocal fans such as Lady Gaga, Solange Knowles and Kate Hudson. Heyman followed up with a successful line of home accessories, but, for her third act, she pivoted to cannabis, launching Flower by Edie Parker in 2019. In this episode of “Seed to CEO,” Heyman takes listeners on her fashion-to-flower journey, discussing:
- How she leveraged fashion experience to break into cannabis.
- The importance of partnerships to the company’s overall strategy.
- The challenges of operating in California.
- How to assess new markets.
