Q&A with peter findley

‘Serial entrepreneur’ bullish on cannabis By Rebecca Clifford-Cruz | STAFF WRITER

There’s still a stigma about using cannabis, says Peter Findley, managing partner of Exhale Nevada, which cultivates, produces and sells marijuana. And Findley wants to help break that stigma and build a worldwide business in cannabis and alternative medicine, all headquartered in Las Vegas. Tell us about your background and how it prepared you to launch your cannabis business. My partners and I are serial entrepreneurs. This is my fifth startup and between the three of us, we have more than 75 years of experience running businesses of all different types. We haven’t seen this much excitement since the dot-com and early years of the tech boom of the late ’90s. It’s one of those industries that is growing extremely fast with so many moving parts — it’s a total thrill and what we thrive on; it keeps us going 24/7. My first company was built through that tech boom. We pivoted when necessary, we failed at some things and succeeded greatly at others. Having been through that, I hope we can learn even faster as an organization. This is what made Amazon great. Try something and don’t be afraid. And if it doesn’t work, just realize it quickly enough so you can move on, or learn from it and be better. How is your company structured, and what is your management style? We have three divisions, which make us vertically integrated. We have cultivation (growing from seed), production and manufacturing (processing the plant and creating shelfready goods), and retail. Each division has its own challenges. We are rapidly growing to keep pace with the industry and our own company goals. We’ve tripled our team since July and plan on tripling again this year. When you do that, you have to constantly evaluate and shift, to be able to turn on a dime. We’re still building the team at all levels, trying to find the right people to lead us to greatness. From a management perspective, we are hands-on and collaborative with all levels of the company. It is so embryonic that you really have to be to understand the challenges and opportunities that the team faces. What is your strategy for longterm success? You have to build a great brand that has immense loyalty with your cus-

Peter Findley anticipates “profound breakthroughs” coming in the cannabis industry. (wade vandervort/staff)

tomers, the community and your team. When you have brand loyalty, you can work toward an even greater brand affinity. Harley-Davidson and NASCAR are companies that have excelled with brand loyalty and affinity. Even more, it’s brand religion. That’s powerful. What is Exhale Gives Back? Exhale Gives Back is our vehicle to give back to our community. Our mission is to raise funds and further drug education awareness and alternative treatment solutions. We work with charities that need more funding or manpower. On May 17, we’re hosting our inaugural Memorial Day Golf Tournament to raise money for veterans groups and help fight the opioid crisis, which hits our veteran population especially hard. Is it necessary to consume cannabis to work in the industry? Much of our recruiting is toward professionals who have learned relevant skills in industries outside of the cannabis space. The ability to take

“what works great” in other industries and deploy those in the cannabis space is valuable. I know many people who do not consume cannabis who are excelling in the industry. What is the best business advice you’ve received? Hire great people and get out of their way. Let them excel at what they do. One of my first mentors was intent on imparting this to me: “Hire people who are better than you at what they do,” and “hire to your weaknesses.” That’s stuck with me my entire business life. I’ve found that hiring people who process or think differently than me, and aren’t afraid to use that, is valuable.

Where do you see yourself company in 10 years? There will be profound breakthroughs and excitement in this industry, and we want to be a major player in contributing to it. We’re particularly excited about the CBD movement. CBD (Cannabidiol) is a cannabis compound that has significant medical benefits, but does not make people feel stoned and can counteract the psychoactivity of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the active ingredient in marijuana). CBD is an appealing option for patients looking for relief from inflammation, pain, anxiety, psychosis, seizures, spasms and other conditions without feelings of lethargy or dysphoria.

What is your biggest pet peeve? Laziness and incompetence. Combine the two in an individual and they are exponentially worse. I see lots of people who just don’t try. They don’t care and aren’t driven or inspired to do better. I wish they would just wake up one day and realize this, and motivate themselves to do more and do better.

If you could talk to one person from history, who would it be? Leonardo Da Vinci. That man was pure genius. Inventor, mathematician, painter, engineer, architect and so much more. He died holding more secrets that we’re still learning about. Getting insight into how his mind works would be amazing.

Sharing in the female experience By Rebecca Clifford-Cruz Staff Writer

Describe your business.

Blo Blow Dry Bar Address: 3900 Paradise Road, Suite S, Las Vegas Phone: 702-929-3342 Website: blomedry.com Hours of operation: 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Saturday; 11 a.m.5 p.m. Sunday Owned/operated by: Nancy Ramirez Ayala In business since: 2017

Blo Blow Dry Bar is a franchise with more than 95 locations in the U.S., Canada and the Philippines, and I opened the first location in Las Vegas in mid-September. We deliver perfectly styled tresses, as well as makeup services. The space is cool, modern and chic, and allows for our customers to be the shining stars. We also have a team that handles the Blo on the Go services, which bring the experience to the client. Our motto is: “You’re not cheating on your hairdresser.” No cuts, no color. Guests choose from our signature styles, such as the razor-straight “Executive Sweet” to the runway-inspired “Pillow Talk.” Guests also can bring in a photo for inspiration for an updo or different style.

Tell us about your legal background, and why you changed your career path.

I was a business and intellectual property litigator for more than 20 years. I was always inspired by the passion I saw in the entrepreneurs, entertainers and business leaders I represented. I have three amazing boys and a great husband who are very supportive, but at work and at home, I was surrounded by men. I wanted to do more with and for the strong and wonderful women in my life. I now get to share in the stories, challenges and joy that women experience every day. So much of the female experience is shared when hair, makeup and bubbly are involved. What is your most popular menu choice?

What sets you apart?

Because we are close to the Strip, but not on the Strip, local ladies and tourists can appreciate the consistency that the Blo brand offers. We’ve also created a special environment where women can relax, have fun and share stories. During evenings and weekends, Blo is a fun place to get the party started with music, signature drinks and cool wall decals, signs and props for fun photo-ops — because if it didn’t happen on social media, it didn’t happen. The other night, we had a guest who was getting her hair and makeup done for a special night out with her husband. They were going to meet Jennifer Lopez backstage before a concert. She didn’t have her girlfriends with her, so we became her girl squad. By the time she left Blo, she was feeling fierce and looking fabulous.

“Pillow Talk” is our most requested style because of its sultry tousled look. It’s our version of loose beachy waves which everyone loves. But “Red Carpet” is a close second, especially for someone looking for a little extra polish or glam. What is your business philosophy?

My philosophy in life and business is to hustle and show gratitude. For me, it means not waiting around for an invitation, but instead creating opportunities for success, working hard and overdelivering. Although I’m incredibly busy with my business and family, I make sure to take the time to celebrate my successes and those of my fellow boss ladies. And I make sure to thank the people who support me every day.

Banking regulator describes nomination, first month on job By thomas moore Staff Writer

In November, Las Vegan Joseph Otting was sworn in as comptroller of the currency, the head of an independent office of the Treasury Department. The office employs 3,956 people, has a budget of $1.2 billion and regulates 1,347 national banks, federal savings associations and federal branches of foreign banks. Otting, co-owner of the private Southern Highlands Golf Club in Southern Nevada, has an extensive history in banking, including many years as an executive at U.S. Bancorp and president and CEO of OneWest Bank. He was nominated for the job in June, after working on the Trump transition team with former OneWest Chairman Steven Mnuchin, who became the treasury secretary. During his confirmation hearings, Otting faced the same criticism Mnuchin faced over his tenure at OneWest (specifically, that it was a foreclosure mill)

from Senate Democrats. VEGAS INC sat down with Otting to speak about his new position and life in Washington, D.C. What was the nomination process like? Most people don’t realize is how long it is. You have to go through a complex, detailed background review from the FBI, which interviews friends, family, colleagues, neighbors and business associates. When that process is concluded, you also have to fill out a financial disclosure document that lays out your financial situation for a three-year period. Then comes the Senate questionnaire that prepares you for the Senate committee. It asks not only for financial data but also where you made political donations and what organizations you participated in or supported. Then you go to the Senate Banking Committee, which I did in late July, and then you go before the full Senate.

That occured in August, and finally I was sworn into office Nov. 27, which was my 60th birthday. How did you respond to questions about mortgage foreclosures at OneWest? When you are dealing with a false narrative, you have to keep trying to drive your points home. But often they really didn’t have very good facts. The final vote was bipartisan. In the Senate Banking Committee and the Senate, there were Democrats who supported my nomination. (The final Senate vote was 54-43 for confirmation; two Democrats voted yes.) What are your goals for the office? I want the agency to run efficiently. I want to bring real-life business practices to it. I want to work a lot with the Bank Secrecy Act — how we can help the whole banking industry help the gov-

ernment achieve the goal of catching the bad guys. The third goal is dealing with the Community Reinvestment Act. How do we encourage and incentivize banks to continue to invest in communities with small-business lending and supporting low-income housing? I want us to be more efficient at that. The last area is small consumer lending. What has really disappointed me over past five to six years is that regulations have forced a lot of people out of the banking system. And what’s happened — those people have gone to check cashers and payday lenders. (Earlier in the interview, Otting said he would review banking regulations, including the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.) The big initiative is: How do we create jobs, not how do we get rid of regulations? Now that we are seven to eight years past the passing of Dodd-Frank, we need to look and see what things are helpful and what need modifying.

Obamacare enrollment up in Nevada, despite obstacles By yvonne gonzalez

Freeway enhancement planned for North Las Vegas near Apex

Staff Writer

Nevada’s health insurance exchange signed up a record number of people for health plans this year, despite a shorter enrollment period. Almost 91,000 Nevada residents enrolled in so-called Obamacare plans through the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange, up from 89,061 last year, the agency reported. The 2017 enrollment period was shortened to about half what it was in 2016. “Given the shortened enrollment period and the federal uncertainty surrounding the health care marketplace, I am pleased the 2018 enrollment numbers have exceeded enrollment from 2017,” Gov. Brian Sandoval said in a statement. Heather Korbulic, executive director of the Nevada exchange, had previously pointed to challenges such as the shorter enrollment period and the healthcare.gov website shutting down for short periods on weekends. “Despite the challenges of this year’s open enrollment period and the political rhetoric surrounding the Affordable Care Act, the exchange saw firsthand how much our citizens want and need health coverage,” Korbulic said in a statement. Almost 28,000 enrollees in Nevada this year were new customers.

The $58 million Interstate 15-Garnet Interchange project in North Las Vegas will begin construction next month. The project will improve safety and enhance mobility for Interstate 15 and U.S. Highway 93, officials say. A modified diverging diamond interchange is part of the plans, upgrading the existing interchange that was built in 1963. Additionally, U.S. 93 will be widened from a two-lane highway to a four-lane divided highway for five miles — which will extend from the Garnet Interchange to just north of Apex Power Parkway. “There’s a lot of truck freight that travels to Northern Nevada; this project will improve that stretch,” said Ryan Wheeler, project manager. “The traveling public will have a 5-mile stretch of two lanes in each direction, which is dangerous today because smaller vehicles want to pass the slower, larger ones, and they face oncoming traffic.” Other work consists of reconstructing a

frontage road along Apex Industrial Park, with improved access points and enhanced intersections at Apex Great Basin Way, Apex Power Parkway and Grand Valley Parkway. Part of the project includes prepping I-15 for future widening to six lanes in the area. There also will be a two-lane frontage road parallel to U.S. 93 with a partial interchange at Grand Valley Parkway. Ames Construction is the design-build general contractor, with Horrocks Engineers as lead designer. Aesthetic enhancements feature stamped and colored concrete and landscape rock with natural vegetation, plus architectural bridge treatments reflective of the nearby Old Spanish Trail. The project should be completed late this year. The corridor served as an important alternate route during the 2014 Moapa floods that washed out and briefly closed a section of I-15. “It’s important that the department has ample alternative routes in the event that I-15 ... gets disrupted by an unanticipated event like a major flood,” Wheeler said.

‘Business leaders have an obligation to enforce a culture where managers and employees behave professionally at all times. In such a culture, demeaning or intimidating actions or offensive ‘humor’ have no place’ unlawful in Nevada, and what can business leaders and employees do to protect themselves? “In Nevada and in federal law, sexual harassment becomes unlawful and recoverable when it is subjectively and objectively severe and persuasive,” said attorney Christian Gabroy of Gabroy Law Offices in Henderson. “This can be difficult to prove, especially if the instances are far apart in time, or an act of harassment occurs just once.” Under the Nevada Fair Employment Practices Act (FEPA), sexual harassment is considered a form of sex discrimination that violates Nevada state law and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to attorney Nicholas Wooldridge of LV Criminal Defense. “Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when submission to or rejection of this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual’s employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual’s work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment,” Wooldridge said. The most effective weapon against harassment is prevention, he said. For employers to avoid potential liability stemming from sexual harassment as well as promote a safe work environment, it is crucial to establish a clearcut zero-tolerance anti-harassment policy. “If your company hasn’t come to terms with the potential for workplace harassment, this should become an immediate human resources priority,” Woolridge said. “Business leaders have an obligation to enforce a culture where managers and employees behave professionally at all times. In such a culture, demeaning or intimidating actions or offensive ‘humor’ have no place, and those in charge assume the responsibility of ensuring a work environment free of harassment.” Companies should have a clear

What constitutes unlawful conduct? According to guidelines put forth by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, conduct is considered unlawful if it creates a work environment that would be construed as intimidating, hostile or offensive to reasonable people. Under these parameters, petty slights, annoyances and isolated incidents (unless extremely serious) will not rise to the level of illegality. So what constitutes offensive conduct? While some behaviors are obvious — such as groping a woman’s breasts or a man’s rearend, or rape — others might be murkier. Is it OK to give a coworker a compliment on a new suit or hairstyle? How about a congratulatory hug after a promotion or a job well done? “Everybody has a different comfort zone, and some work environments are more playful and tolerant of certain interactions, so you

handbook (or handbook entry) to outline their anti-harassment and antidiscrimination policies, as well as precise reporting procedures in place, attorney Mary Chapman of Las Vegas says. “Employees must notify HR and file a complaint in writing that includes specific actions that were taken and what protected class the offensive conduct is based on,” she said, adding that protected classes include sex, race, religion, gender identity and sexual orientation. “Complaints then need to be investigated and some type of discipline taken.” Consequences are of paramount importance, says attorney Paola Armeni of Gentile, Cristalli, Miller, Armeni, Savarese. “It’s important to give people a lifeline to be able to report the harass-

need to know where you are in conducting yourself,” said attorney Paola Armeni of Gentile, Cristalli, Miller, Armeni, Savarese. “If someone puts their hand on my shoulder, should they be criminally charged? Battery is really any unwanted touching, and can be interpreted very loosely,” she added. “In today’s climate, everybody should be on their best behavior, and this is going to start changing how men behave.” Here are a few rules of thumb from the EEOC for employers and employees regarding what constitutes offensive behavior: n Unwelcome sexual advances n Requests for sexual favors n Offensive jokes, slurs, epithets or name-calling n Physical assaults or threats n Intimidation, ridicule or mockery n Offensive objects or pictures n Gender-bashing — Danielle Birkin

ment, and then, after it is reported, action must be taken,” she said. “A lot of times, employers just talk about it, and it’s a smoke screen. It’s also important for employees to report harassment promptly to their supervisor or human resources or, in some cases, the police.” Ann McGinley, a professor at UNLV’s William S. Boyd School of Law, says employers also must let employees know that there cannot be any behavior interpreted as retaliation after a complaint is filed. “Retaliation is illegal even if the underlying behavior is not sufficiently severe or pervasive to create a hostile work environment,” McGinley said. “If the victim believes in reasonable good faith that she is the victim of illegal harassment, and the employer retaliates against her, she can pursue

her claim. “Employers are warned never to retaliate after an employee files a charge or a suit or complains about harassment,” she added. “In fact, if the person who complains is fired soon after the filing or complaint, that may be sufficient to prove retaliation.” Corporate training and sensitivity programs can be helpful tools to nip misconduct in the bud. But their effectiveness may be based on how seriously the employer takes harassment and communicates the lack of tolerance for bad behavior and the need for respect among employees. “It’s unclear how effective corporate training programs are,” Gabroy said. “Even if an employer has the best corporate-training programs on harassment, a business may still be liable for harassment if the business was aware, or should have been aware, of the harassment. From an employee attorney’s perspective, it appears that the greater focus for many large companies is merely to limit legal liability.” Bottom line? Any workplace harassment policy is only as effective as the system in place to enforce it, says Daniele Dreitzer, executive director of the Rape Crisis Center “Having a policy in a book on a shelf that people don’t understand, won’t enforce or don’t respect is just meaningless words on paper,” Dreitzer said. “But it appears that many companies/ organizations are taking allegations much more seriously and demonstrating more support for those coming forward. “Hopefully, if this movement continues in the direction it has taken over the past few weeks, the unfettered power of certain people — and particularly certain men — will be kept within an appropriate professional realm that holds people accountable for inappropriate behavior and abuse of power. At the same time, we hope the victim blaming and shaming that has gone on for so long will stop.”
