Podcast
Written By Rob Sanchez

Episode 166 is the 29th episode of Season 3.


We’re back with the July 2025 Monthly Special for episode 166 of Apartment 113.

This month’s special brings back Fat Nugs Magazine founder Dustin Hoxworth as co-host, and features an insightful conversation with John Shute, founder of PufCreativ. As always, we kick things off by digging into the latest cannabis news and culture headlines, everything from Mike Tyson’s policy push to Cannabis in Space while weighing in on what these developments really mean for the soul of the industry.

Then we welcome John to the show for a sharp and grounded conversation about brand building, creative strategy, and authenticity in cannabis. From working with legacy-minded brands to navigating relationships with big players, John shares his approach to helping clients define their “why” while staying rooted in reality. We get into culture-building, calling out the bad actors, celebrating the good ones, and learning how to collaborate with an iron fist in a velvet glove.

This was a deep one, centered around expectations, resilience, and reigniting the passion that’s fueled cannabis culture from day one.

You can catch the audio as always on iTunes, Spotify, Audible, or apt113.com, and you can also watch the full episode on YouTube along with our other monthly specials.

Sit down, roll one up, and enjoy the ride.

Thank you to our sponsors and supporters:
