aBIZinaBOX Moves West
aBIZinaBOX Moves West – we have been a bit quiet the past couple of weeks..and with good reason. We are in the midst of a move of our headquarters office from Evanston, IL to Oakland, CA. More specifically, our new headquarters is going to be in Jack London Square in Oakland. Our new address is 378 Embarcadero West, Suite 507, Oakland, CA 94607. The next month is going to be complete, hopefully, organized insanity.
We will keep all of you apprised as we move along. Clients if you need to read us…cell or email is best…Facebook is another good option.
We could write a novel about why we are moving out to Oakland…the plan had been three years from now. Every so often one gets a kick in that ass to get moving sooner. How about a shortlist of why now:
Well, Bruce Harris and Jeff Fishman singing Go West! by the Village People could drive anyone to move.
Ira Chaplik for always having something going on to motivate me.
Bill Taggart for constant motivation, and sharp pokes in the eye, done gently, go figure.
Philip Rodrigue and Minori Shironishi for constantly asking what is taking so long for me to move west.
Amit Chendal and Crystal Reliskni for constantly showing me the benefits of mentoring them.
John Sidline and Steve Mulhall for the inspiration that The Compound provides every day.
Tim Ray and Tim O’Brien for reminding me of the draw that Portland provides for the cannabis industry.
Sean Hocking for just being an all-around pain in the ass.
Kristen Yoder for being a friend and a source of insight.
Anne Marie Borgas and Chris for small farmers in Mendocino, Humbolt, and Trinity Counties.
Cara Luhring for being the “cannabis network” across Southern California.
Julie Klein for being a friend of almost forty years, in Santa Monica, as my perhaps oldest friend that made the trip and relocated in Southern California.
Andy Kane – my dear friend and partner from Arthur Andersen LLP in Los Angeles
It really isn’t like a relocation, its a reorganization, and our heartfelt thanks to all that are listed for doing their parts.
