In this episode, we sit down with Micah Anderson, CEO of LEEF Brands (CSE: LEEF | OTCQB: LEEEF), to break down the company’s Q3 2025 financial results and what’s driving its turnaround story.

LEEF delivered a standout quarter with revenue up 24% year-over-year to $8.4M, gross margins doubling to 45%, and the company generating positive adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow for the first time. We discuss the key drivers behind that performance — from the first successful harvests at Salisbury Canyon Ranch in California to the rapid launch of LEEF’s extraction lab in New York.

Topics we cover:

• The execution behind Salisbury Canyon Ranch and New York — LEEF’s two 2025 strategic goals — and how they are reshaping cost structure and margins.

• The operational levers behind a 23-point margin expansion: how much came from vertical integration vs. new market mix.

• How LEEF is maintaining cost discipline with operating expenses down 12% YoY while growing topline performance.

• The company’s approach to managing 280E taxes and its stance on accruing vs. paying UTP.

• Why LEEF added Bitcoin to its corporate treasury, and how Micah views Bitcoin allocation versus other growth investments like expansion or scaling SCR.

• Plans for the next phase: expanding cultivation at Salisbury Canyon Ranch to 187 acres, scaling production in New York, and evaluating new state entries every 12–24 months.

After Micah joins, we broaden the discussion with a look at the Q3 earnings season across cannabis, including Verano and Jushi. We dig into trends like margin compression, limited catalysts until 2026+ in key states, and how efficiency and vertical integration are separating strong operators from those treading water.

A grounded, data-driven discussion on execution, cost control, and strategy in a tough market — plus a look at where real growth may come next.
