Hi, I'm Rico!I'm a marketing & sales professional with a uniquely diverse and background in public speaking (20+ years), broadcast journalism (2 years), content production (6 years), all areas of cannabis (20 years), marketing (15+ years), activism (6 years), corporate finance (10 years), and sports (whole life!).I'd describe myself as a goal-oriented producer with a passion for collaborating with other leaders, creators and production teams. Whether it's myself in a leadership role, consultative positions, production coaching or even as a team member; I enjoy working with driven people on important projects and experiencing the satisfaction of getting jobs done ahead of time and below budget. Pre-COVID, I produced/hosted large & small scale event activations in the largest US markets, coached & managed teams of 2 to 91 people, and have been commissioned to speak on stage at some of the most impactful private events & business conventions. Like many others in event production, I made a hard shift in 2020 into the digital marketing/broadcasting/content production world and it's been a pretty awesome journey! Launched my own multimedia company, produced and hosted multiple podcasts, online events and webinars for some of the biggest and most impactful companies/organizations globally, and finally got to fully apply many skills learned as a mainstream business professional to the rapidly maturing cannabis arena I've now been a part of since late 2016.If you're looking for a dynamic, experienced leader with a proven track record across several industries to help your team reach their goals I'm your guy!
