Secrets Behind World-Class Extraction: How 1% Add Millions ft. Micah Anderson

Specialization is coming — and surviving will mean doing one thing better than anyone else.But that’s only the beginning. Getting there takes a relentless growth mindset: an obsession with stacking small operational wins — data, tech, genetics, process — to create massive separation over time.Extraction isn’t simple. And in a world of margin compression, “this is how we’ve always done it” won’t cut it.Micah shares how applying best-in-class manufacturing principles has helped LEEF reach elite levels of efficiency — and how just a 1–2% gain in yield can unlock millions in  value.
