Political and Earnings Updates With Cresco CEO Charlie Bachtell

Cresco CEO Charlie Bachtell joined us this week to discuss the proposed rule on Schedule III and the company's recent earnings results. Cresco is active in Washington, and Charlie shared his perspective on Schedule III’s next steps, timing, and impact on Cresco's business. We also dug into Cresco's progress. 2023 was the year of the core, and Charlie highlighted the tough decisions they made to cut costs and rationalize the footprint. He also explained Florida's importance and the efforts they are making to help pass adult-use legislation this fall. He closed by telling us, "Every year is now the year of the core; it is just who we are."The episode concludes with another fun edition of Ask Grok.
