Money Makin Majix Returns | Joint Forces Podcast EP:16
<p>Majix is back.On Episode 16 of Joint Forces, Luke Scarmazzo sits down once again with Money Makin Majix — entrepreneur, recording artist, and reality TV personality who first helped launch the Joint Forces Podcast back in Episode 1. Majix, also known as Michael “Majix” Yuen, built his name in both the music and business worlds and became widely recognized as a main cast member on the VH1 hit series Cartel Crew. Over the years he’s moved through multiple lanes — founding Magic City Records, building lifestyle brands, and co-founding Pure Blanco alongside Michael Corleone Blanco — all while staying active in the music industry and business game.This episode is a real catch-up between two guys who’ve both been through a lot since the first time they sat down. Majix breaks down what he’s been building lately, including a massive off-grid ranch project in Northern California, new ventures in the industry, and his plans for vertically integrated brands that control everything from the ground up. He also gets into the music side of things, upcoming releases, and the grind that took him from hustling his first pound at 15 years old to running multi-acre operations today. But it’s not all business talk. Majix pulls no punches in this one and airs out some real industry stories while reflecting on loyalty, integrity, and staying solid in a world full of fake moves. Luke and Majix also talk about mindset, discipline, and why building your own lane is the only real way to win.If you missed the first episode with Majix, tap in — and if you already saw it, this is the next chapter.Follow Luke Scarmazzo:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukescarmazzo/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointforcespodcast/Follow Majix:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneymakinmajix/Produced by Gears and GritInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/gears.and.grit/Get Luke Scarmazzo's book "High Price" on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0m48P0EAbout The Joint Forces Podcast:Welcome to The Joint Forces Podcast—where the hustle meets the heart of the cannabis game.

Steve DeAngelo | Joint Forces Podcast EP:15
<p>This one’s special. On the second episode of season 2 of Joint Forces, Luke Scarmazzo sits down with a true legend — Steve DeAngelo. If you know the history, you know the name. Steve has been on the front lines of cannabis activism for decades. He co-founded Harborside (one of the first major dispensaries in the country), helped shape modern reform efforts, and became a familiar face to millions through Weed Wars on Discovery Channel. Long before it was mainstream, Steve was fighting legal battles, organizing communities, and standing up for patients and operators when it wasn’t popular, or safe, to do so.But this conversation isn’t just about headlines and TV cameras. It’s about loyalty and legacy. Steve who cofounded the Last Prisoner Project, was involved in helping Luke during his fight for freedom. In this episode, they talk about the journey, the early days of activism, how the movement evolved, and why so many people were left behind during the shift to legalization.From underground organizing to national reform, from courtroom battles to industry boardrooms, Steve DeAngelo has seen it all. This episode is history, accountability, and game — straight from someone who helped build the foundation.Tap in. This is one for the culture.Follow Luke Scarmazzo:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukescarmazzo/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointforcespodcast/Follow Halle:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halle_penn/Produced by Gears and GritInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/gears.and.grit/Get Luke Scarmazzo's book "High Price" on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0m48P0EAbout The Joint Forces Podcast:Welcome to The Joint Forces Podcast—where the hustle meets the heart of the cannabis game.
