My guest on the show today is Ryan Hamlin, Co-Founder and CEO of POSaBIT Systems Corporation (CSE: PBIT) (OTCQX: POSAF). POSaBIT is a financial technology company that delivers payment processing and point-of-sale systems for cash-only businesses. POSaBIT specializes in resolving pain points for complex, high-risk, emerging industries like cannabis with an all-in-one solution that is compliant, user-friendly and utilizes top-of-the-line hardware.

Let’s start by saying that the Cannabis industry has been getting, for lack of a better term, wrecked in the last two years. Almost every sector index and indicator, and publicly-traded cannabis company issuer performance are down. Even when we think that some companies are making progress, they’ve probably announced not-so-great earnings within the last quarter or two.

Despite the nuclear winter we’re seeing in Cannabis right now (and for the last couple years now), if we’re looking at the big picture, whether cannabis is legalized or not, it’s without a doubt not going anywhere. I think we can all agree with that premise. And if so, I wanted to have on a “picks and shovels”-type company to better understand how they are working through the current Cannabis climate, as well as their perspective on the industry as a whole. That’s where today’s guest, Ryan Hamlin from POSaBIT enters the chat. We had a great conversation what’s happening in the Cannabis industry, as well as:

• Legalization debate within the industry
• The importance of having a payments infrastructure as a Cannabis retailer
• POSaBIT’s capital allocation strategy, specifically in regards to M&A, and;
• Ryan’s vision for the company in 3-5 years

With that, please enjoy my conversation with Ryan Hamlin, Co-Founder and CEO of POSaBIT Systems Corporation. For more information about POSaBIT Systems, please visit: https://www.posabit.com/
