In the first episode of Better For It, we hear from Bruce Linton, the founder and former co-CEO of Canopy Growth, the first publicly traded cannabis company in North America

Bruce Linton was the founder and co-CEO of Canopy Growth, the first publicly traded cannabis company in North America. When weed first became legal in Canada, Bruce was riding the high.
