What this episode covers
In this episode of Everything Is Personal, Len sits down with Kevin Pattah and Mike Khemmoro, the visionaries behind Mango Cannabis. What started as teenage curiosity about cannabis turned into a lifelong passion — and eventually, one of the fastest-growing cannabis retail brands in Oklahoma, Michigan, New Mexico, and beyond. Kevin and Mike share their journey from immigrant family roots and early work in supermarkets, to battling stigma, navigating legalization, and finally building a respected cannabis brand known for quality, consistency, and culture.
