#LetsBeBlunt #MontelWilliams #Podcast   As the United States stands on the brink of one of the biggest federal policy shifts in more than 50 years, the future of an entire industry is being written by entrepreneurs willing to bet on what's next. In this episode of Let's Be Blunt with Montel, Montel sits down with Emmy Award-winning television producer turned entrepreneur Shavon Sullivan Wright, founder of The Grass Cab, a boutique dispensary opening in New Jersey at a pivotal moment in history. After spending more than two decades producing some of television's biggest events—including the Olympics and The Apprentice—Shavon traded network studios for startup life, bringing world-class leadership, logistics, and storytelling into one of America's fastest-evolving industries.
