• Why I quit my dream job at Google to
  launch a business
• One year ago, I was 30 years old, leading a
  100-million-plus business as head of an
  Asia-Pacific-wide sales team for Google, and
  making more money than I ever imagined. I had
  lived in New York, San Francisco, Bangkok and
  Singapore, and travelled to over 50 countries.
  All this because six years before, I landed my
  dream job at Google in corporate strategy.I
  found myself on a secondment in Ghana developing
  national Internet infrastructure. On my way to a
  voodoo ceremony with a Ghanaian tour guide, I
  reflected on my career path, admitting to him
  that Id lost focus and felt unfulfilled. What he
  told me changed the course of my life You
  either work on something you love, or work
  because it supports the people you love.

• Thats when I quit Google.For years, I had
  structured my life around achieving work-related
  success Work hard, get promoted, make more
  money. Lather, rinse, repeat. I craved the
  validation of corporate success. I wanted badly
  to be recognized for my intelligence, for my
  parents to be proud of me, and to feel important.
  For the first time in my life, the excitement of
  another promotion or more money was non-existent.
  I felt empty, in need of change, despite having
  the dream job I always wanted.
• In typical form for someone who spent his
  formative years at Google, I created a
  data-driven process to uncover what I loved. My
  Web-based project was called TimeOn (a word play
  on time off) and it involved documenting
  everything about my daily routines, interactions
  and experiences. Scoring metrics like Happiness
  (1-10) and Meaning (1-10) on a spreadsheet, I
  sought to understand my life better to set out on
  my future path.

• Armed with TimeOn, I travelled to Japan,
  where I worked as a back-country ski tour guide,
  all the while fastidiously cataloguing my
  experiences. Meditating for months in the
  beautiful landscape of Japan, I had a revelation
  that would guide me toward building my current
  business, Tokyo Smoke, with my father. My data
  from TimeOn reflected that I was happiest when I
  talked to people I loved and about things that I
  loved.The three passions in particular are
  coffee, clothing and cannabis. I love a good
  coffee, and one major perk of Google is that
  every office is kitted out with the fanciest of
  fancy espresso machines.Fashion and design have
  shaped my life. My grandfather founded a womens
  clothing company called Mister Leonard. My
  father, Lorne Gertner, an architect by trade and
  lifelong entrepreneur, co-founded Cannasat
  Therapeutics, the first publicly traded cannabis
  company in Canada, more than a decade ago. My
  mother, a designer, has been a huge creative
  influence in my life and pointed me in the
  direction of branding and retail.

• I flew back to Toronto to work closely with
  my father to develop a brand that would redefine
  the cannabis marketplace. We opened up Tokyo
  Smokes first showroom, which features a coffee
  bar, branded clothing and cannabis paraphernalia,
  such as lighters and rolling papers.Tokyo Smoke
  wasnt to be a Bob Marley-inspired head shop, or
  one of the many illegal dispensaries, but instead
  a home to the creative class. Our mens clothes
  are classic and stylish. We also have developed a
  set of proprietary cannabis strains, which
  provide consumers four distinct and consistent
  experiences. Tokyo Smoke cannabis will be on
  shelves in legal recreational dispensaries in the
  United States later this year. We will closely
  monitor legislative developments in Canada and
  plan to release our brand of cannabis in-line
  with the Liberal government's upcoming repeal of
  marijuana prohibition.

• I believe cannabis is the next Internet an
  immense and untrammelled new market opportunity
  and Tokyo Smoke is gearing up to take advantage
  of it. At least 10 per cent of North Americans
  consume cannabis on a regular basis and consumer
  product brands have yet to enter this enticing,
  mainstream, rapidly legalizing space.In the
  coming months, we plan to open coffee shops in
  Seattle and Los Angeles, while the first line of
  Tokyo Smoke-branded cannabis ships to independent
  retailers in California, Oregon, and Washington
  State, with clothing not far behind.Looking
  back at my time in Ghana with the guide, I find
  myself smiling. Today, Im not distracted with
  the career ladder but instead stimulated by the
  power of beginning a meaningful journey doing
  something I genuinely love.
