About this listen

On this episode of the Kaya Cast Podcast, host Tommy Truong talks with Wally Daniel of Green Garden Consulting, an Oregon-based firm focused on plants, processes, and people. They dive into the biggest pitfalls cannabis growers encounter—often thinking they’re optimizing when they’re not hitting industry benchmarks—and outline a practical path to sustainable scale: rigorous vetting of vendors and leadership, building repeatable systems, and planning from desired outcomes to actual capability. Wally shares how AI fits into a living plant business, the art and science of cultivation, and why the most successful operators treat knowledge as a collaborative craft rather than a solo pursuit. The conversation covers down-to-earth improvements—upgrading legacy tech, optimizing fertigation, and maximizing vendor support to extract real value without chasing shiny objects. They discuss hard-won lessons on hiring a head grower, avoiding nepotistic decisions, and reverse-engineering capital projects from production needs. Through real-world projects—such as a major pest remediation and a climate-control redesign—Wally demonstrates how diligence, data, and leadership drive ROI and consistent quality. If you’re an operator or founder aiming for consistency and growth in cannabis, this episode offers concrete playbooks and a grounded perspective.
