19. Jesse Villars - Baked By The River Dispensary, Tara Misu’s First Legal NJ Cannabis Purchase, BTS with Dan from Heady NJ

Welcome back to Trailblazin’ with Tara Misu, the podcast where Tara Misu interviews trailblazers shaping the cannabis industry. After a brief hiatus of about two years, Tara is back as your host, eager to dive into more captivating conversations. During her break, Tara obtained a New Jersey cannabis manufacturing license while managing her business, Blazin’ Bakery, and other endeavors. Now, she's returning to the podcast world, excited to share more episodes with her listeners. While she's not committing to a fixed schedule just yet, Tara plans to release new episodes and share previously recorded ones from before the break. In this episode, Tara is joined by Jesse Villars, owner of Baked by the River, an independent, woman-owned, and operated social-equity dispensary in New Jersey. Recorded upstairs at Jesse’s dispensary, immediately following Tara's first legal cannabis purchase in NJ, the conversation delves into Tara's reasons for returning to recreational sales after nearly two years. Jesse and her partner, Cord, share their inspiring journey of recovery, advocacy, and entrepreneurship. They discuss how they persuaded their town to opt into cannabis sales, secured funding to own their building and license outright, and now operate their dispensary ethically on their own terms. But the conversation doesn't end there! Stay tuned until the end to hear an informal chat with Dan Ulloa, a reporter from independent media source, Heady NJ. Tara, Jesse, Cord, and Dan share behind-the-scenes insights and personal anecdotes, providing listeners with a unique glimpse into the cannabis industry.
