High Art w/Budtender-Hotel Expert-Artist Miles Gordon

Blood Sweat & Careers

This week on the pod we speak with bud tender - artist - & hotel management specialist Miles Gordon Miles made the leap to the cannabis industry filled with a “whole lotta hope.” After nearly a decade into a career in hospitality and hotel management he realized that he wanted to make a BIG career shift (spliff?)... He left his big time job in management at a luxury hotel on the Las Vegas strip without a sure thing, just the hope & belief he’d make it in the newly legalized weed industry. It’s relatable listening to his journey of highs (OK, done with the puns...promise!) and inevitable lows...the time he decided to be a self sufficient artist during a pandemic felt especially resonate to our hosts... Miles describes the dance of whether to make your passion your profession or to leave it as a hobby and take on a career...who doesn’t dream of making the thing they love to do the thing that makes them big bucks? From art to hotels to cannabis to art back to cannabis Miles’ career story has been anything but basic.
