A business professor going into business for himself.
They did it wrong. It’s supposed to be ONE business professor, one chemical engineering professor, and one law professor.
At least that was the magic formula out here when medical and then recreational dispensaries first became legal: one “nursery” expert, one “business” expert and one retired cop/politician.
