The AusCannaPodcast S2 | E3

In Season 2, Episode 3 of the AusCannaPodcast I sit down with Eric Chan the Chief Operating Officer at Cannabis Warehouse. Born and raised in Melbourne to immigrant parents from Hong Kong Eric seemed destined to follow a traditional corporate path until the birth of his first child at 26 shifted his focus towards healthcare. Along with the team at Cannabis Warehouse Eric has played a pivotal role in bringing the AMCA’s Compassionate Access Scheme AKA the “COMPASS Program” to life. With a passion for building a stronger medicinal cannabis framework, Eric envisions a future where Australia leads the world in integrating both legacy and medical cannabis industries.In this episode, we cover a lot of topics including:* Rapid Fire* Who is Eric Chan and how becoming a father changed his life path* Meeting Dima Gouralnik leads to Cannabis Warehouse * COMPASS Program's humble beginnings* The power of collaboration* Challenges during the 6-month pilot phase* Launching into phase 1* How to apply for the COMPASS Program* Assessment process/Different levels of access* Risk mitigation/Managing expectations* Success stories * Long-term goals of the COMPASS program* How the COMPASS Program is helping break the stigma and shoutouts to the OnTracka team * Remembering your “why”* Being on the right side of history* Eric’s call to actionShow Notes:* Australian Medicinal Cannabis Association (AMCA) COMPASS Program Website* OnTracka WebsiteWhere to find Eric:* Cannabis Warehouse Website* Email [email protected] to find me:* @AusCannaReviews on SubStack* @AusCannaReviews on Instagram* @AusCannaReviews on Twitter/X* Email [email protected]* Buy Me A Coffee/AusCannaPodcast This is a public episode.
