In Studio at #MWCannaBizCon: Hello Manito and Paragon Payroll

Listen to this special episode of NCIA’s Cannabis Industry Voice brought to you from the podcast studio on the showfloor of the Midwest Cannabis Business Conference and Expo held September 22-23, 2021, in Detroit, MI, with your host, Bethany Moore!

In this series of episodes, we asked attendees how they felt being at the #MWCannaBizCon show after 18 months of not hosting in-person events because of COVID-19, as well as what issues in cannabis policy are most important to them, plus insights into the future of the cannabis industry and policy.

Also, don’t forget about NCIA’s 7th Annual Cannabis Business Summit & Expo in San Francisco this December 15-17!

They are the premier provider of payroll, workforce management, and talent management solutions to businesses of all sizes, from the single-store dispensary to the multi-state operators. Their solutions are designed and packaged to meet each client’s individualized needs. Since its inception, Paragon has been serving clients in complex and highly regulated industries.
