#54 - S6:E10 - Kate Miller: From Entertainment Executive to Creating Miss Grass, the “Goop of Cannabis”

Recorded on-site at Hall of Flowers, Olivia Castaldy sits down with Kate Miller, co-founder and CEO of Miss Grass, for a short conversation about her journey from working as a budtender to building one of the most recognizable women-led brands in cannabis. Kate shares how her early experiences with the plant, followed by a decade-long career in entertainment, ultimately led her to leave the industry and launch Miss Grass. Today, Miss Grass products are available in dispensaries across the country, while the brand continues to make cannabis education and culture more approachable for modern consumers. Kate discusses why women remain underserved and underrepresented in cannabis, the importance of building brands rooted in authenticity and community, and how collaboration and empathy can create stronger leadership within the industry. She also shares advice for women interested in entering cannabis or starting a company of their own, including the importance of having a clear mission and the courage to build differently in a traditionally male-dominated space. In this mini interview, we discuss Kate’s journey from budtender to founder, why she left entertainment to build Miss Grass, the need for more women-led cannabis companies, and the future of women’s leadership and representation in the industry. Plus, Kate shares her favorite ways to consume cannabis.
