Description
Gone to Pot is an unfiltered look into today's most talked-about industry: cannabis. Written by the Chief Financial Officer of a company which sold for close to $1 billion in one of the largest transactions in the history of the U.S. cannabis industry, Gone to Pot offers readers a rare peek behind the curtain into the arcane world of the cannabis industry. With over 30 combined years of C-level business experience in a variety of industries, including as a cannabis industry insider, Dean K. Matt offers a valuable outsider's perspective and helps readers to see the forest from the trees. With a skeptical, irreverent, and humorous voice, he uncovers the industry's dirty little secrets and scoundrels and explores the reasons for the cannabis industry's quick fall from grace. Gone to Pot is the single repository for everything good and bad with the cannabis industry and is a must-read for all industry stakeholders: C-suite executives, employees, investors, Board members, vendors, regulators, and the general public. The industry's future is anything but rosy—buyer beware!
About the author

With an MBA from the #1 MBA-Finance program in the country (University of Chicago), a BS-Accountancy from the perennial #1 undergraduate accounting program in the country (University of Illinois), and a CPA, Dean K. Matt has seen it all in over 30 years in the C-suite. He came out of retirement for a unique opportunity as CFO for a multi-state cannabis industry company. Eight short months later, that company was sold for almost $1 billion in what was at the time the largest transaction in the history of the U.S. cannabis industry. To date, he has worked with about a dozen companies in the industry. His storytelling ability was recognized at a young age, winning him awards from the National College of Teachers of English and from Gwendolyn Brooks, Illinois' Poet Laureate. He also hosted a reality TV show pilot for a travel and golf themed show called The Grass is Greener. His passions include bad golf (since grade school) and safe flying (since high school). He and his wife look forward to one day returning to their retirement, running their golf accessories business (www.golfgear.golf), and resuming their golfing/traveling lifestyle (www.mucho-dean-aero.com).
