Matt has spoken on countless industry panels and has discussed cannabis on media outlets such as CNBC, Fox News, Cheddar, Yahoo Finance, and Bloomberg.

J-Man shared, “I recently met Matt and it’s exciting for me to now have him on the show. He and his team are one of the largest if not the largest private financial investors in the cannabis space. Without Matt and his team at EEC, many of the cannabis brands gaining traction wouldn’t be. These folks are why cannabis brands are growing. It’s great to have Matt as our guest for our 21 st episode. We’re excited to share the EEC story with our partakers” he added.
