Cannabis, Journalism & The Fight for Truth
In this episode of Everything Is Personal, Len explores the world of cannabis, culture, and media with a powerful conversation on truth and storytelling. From immigrant family struggles to breaking stigma, from hip hop and cooking to navigating bias in journalism, this story highlights the resilience and authenticity needed to make an impact. You’ll hear how a love for cannabis turned into a career in journalism, why unbiased reporting is harder than ever, and how AI, algorithms, and media platforms are reshaping the way we consume information.
