What does it mean to be a disruptor? For Lauren Miele of KushKards, it means getting people to talk about you when you are not around. And that's precisely how *I* first heard about this cannabis-tinged brand at its National Stationery Show debut in early 2020. There, KushKards distinguished itself out of the gate by winning Best New Product for its Polka Pot Gift Bag — an enormous accomplishment not just as a newbie but also a sign of the quick inroads she made in our sometimes rather traditional community.

Meanwhile, Lauren didn't just bring cannabis to stationery and gifts, she also brought greeting cards to the male-dominated cannabis industry. Soon thereafter, Lauren officially entered the burgeoning sexual wellness domain by attaching vibrators instead of one-hitters to her card designs.

Now Lauren spills on everything from social media strategy to troll management. To her, it's all about embracing what she is disrupting — and even becoming the niche itself. And just as she provides 'a gift with a lift' with her offerings, Lauren's path illuminates how any brand can blaze to the righteous spot it deserves.
