About Brandon Elder

Hey there I’m Brandon — home-roasted coffee addict, flow chaser, and podcast host digging into the real stuff: mental health, cannabis, and all things life-changing. Podcast Creator & Host: Cannabis School & Happier Headspace I’m one of the voices (and sometimes laughs) behind Cannabis School, the #1 cannabis podcast on Apple and Spotify. With almost 3 million downloads and monthly subscribers, we’re making cannabis education accessible, relatable, and actually interesting. If you’re cannabis-curious or a seasoned pro, Cannabis School is here to clear the smoke and make sense of it all. Then there’s Happier Headspace, my mental health podcast born out of a chapter that shook me to my core. After facing some of life’s heaviest challenges—losing my job, my kids moving across the country, and tackling one of my darkest bouts of depression—I knew I had to be part of the conversation on mental health. Happier Headspace is where I share strategies, stories, and tools for resilience and mindset, helping others build their own paths to happiness and healing. Home-Roasted Coffee & Bold Conversations I believe some of life’s best conversations happen over a delicious cup of coffee (black, of course). I’m all about roasting my own beans and brewing up thoughts and ideas that go deep, whether it’s on cannabis, mental wellness, business, or just life. There’s just something about coffee and candidness that makes tough topics easier to approach. My goal? To spark conversations that make people think, connect, and come away feeling a little lighter, a little more informed, and maybe even inspired. Creative Visionary, Operational Architect, & Serial Collaborator With 10+ years in the creative space, I’m not just talking into a mic—I’m building platforms that people come back to. From managing operations and content strategy at Highest Peaks to launching the Cannabis School Podcast into the top rankings with zero ad spend, I understand what it takes to scale big ideas with impact. I’m about systems that support growth and strategies that make storytelling resonate. Whether it’s co-hosting, creating, or connecting on new projects, I’m here for the journey and the next cup of coffee. Let’s connect and see what kind of conversations (or collaborations) we can brew up together!
