episode 008: Emily Leung

Author: with May Globus March 17, 2021 Duration: 52:07
Emily Leung is the founder of cannabis lifestyle brand Ohai, a collection of cannabis goods that are curated with the same beautiful, careful intention that as you observe her operate from. To say she’s smart is an understatement. Emily is a brilliant marketing mind in every sense of the word, having cut her teeth at brands like Vega and the Vancouver Canucks - all while teaching digital marketing at Brainstation (she still does). Building the Ohai brand was to answer her own desire for well-designed tools to administer the benefits of cannabis, for her own self-care. In this conversation, we explore Emily’s experience with being a female entrepreneur, living with anxiety, growing up in an immigrant family, and tending one’s own figurative garden. Emily is a powerhouse with a whole lot of soul - and she champions a future that is female.

There’s a particular texture to a life built around creating something meaningful, whether that’s a business, a work of art, or a new path forward. The Craft with May Globus pulls back the curtain on those lives through unhurried, intimate dialogues. May sits down with a diverse range of creators, founders, and pioneers, but the focus here is less on glossy success stories and more on the raw material of their journeys. You’ll hear the nuances of their creative process, the pivotal moments in their personal backstory, and how their philosophy shapes their daily existence. It’s an ongoing exploration of the shared humanity behind different kinds of work. What makes this podcast uniquely immersive is its commitment to being an audio-visual experience. Each conversation is accompanied by rich, editorial-style photography that provides a deeper, more sensory connection to the guest and their world. Think of it like a beautifully composed magazine feature that you can listen to, where the images and the dialogue work in concert. Tuning into this podcast feels like gaining quiet, privileged access to the minds of people who are thoughtfully shaping culture, one idea at a time.
