Ashleen Aguilar: From Budtender, Marketer and Cannabis Enthusiast to Budtender Trainer, Podcast Host & Entrepreneur
In the Season 1 Finale of the Women in Cannabusiness Podcast, we sit down with Ashleen Aguilar, a passionate cannabis educator and co-founder of Take Root Training, a company dedicated to revolutionizing budtender training. 🌿
Ashleen’s journey began in 2016 as a budtender in Washington State during the early days of legalization. She quickly noticed major knowledge gaps among her peers, sparking her mission to combat misinformation about cannabis and elevate education within the industry.
Today, Ashleen is making waves as an entrepreneur, podcast host, and creator of engaging training solutions for budtenders and dispensaries. From developing an online training course to publishing cannabis-focused coloring books, her work is reshaping how dispensaries onboard and educate their teams.
In this inspiring finale episode, we discuss:
Ashleen’s journey from budtender to marketer to co-founder.
The challenges of building a brand focused on education and advocacy.
Why budtender training is essential to the future of cannabis retail.
Whether you’re a cannabis enthusiast, a budding entrepreneur, or someone in the dispensary space, Ashleen’s insights will leave you motivated and ready to grow.
