(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nMariMed outlined its 2026 growth strategy with wholesale revenue rising 11% and new state expansions advancing, achieving a sixth consecutive year of positive adjusted EBITDA, per MSN.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): do not choose between market depth and geographic breadth. Scale one distributor relationship in your current state (11% wholesale growth is wholesale partner success, not retailer churn), then replicate that partnership model in a new state. Map three distributors in three adjacent states and assign one founder relationship to each. Wholesale expansion is distributor relationship replication, not retail hunting.\nWhat that means for you: Most brands burn out their first distributor and move on. MariMed kept wholesale growing while adding states — that is the opposite move. State expansion looks smart; distributor retention is the actual lever. If you have one wholesale distributor in one state, your job is to make that relationship so successful it becomes your reference case for the next state. Do not hire a distributor manager; become the distributor manager first.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — MSN: http://www.bing.com/news/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&aid=&tid=6a66758290c84fc7b116ffd6ed38f5f0&url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.msn.com%2fen-us%2fmoney%2fcompanies%2fmarimed-outlines-2026-growth-strategy-as-wholesale-revenue-rises-11-and-new-state-expansions-advance%2far-AA1Yu13F&c=2571126236346562648&mkt=en-us.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
