Just Say KNOW with Maria

Just Say KNOW with Maria Calabrese airs Fridays from 4 to 5pm Pacific

GBL Founder Maria Calabrese thrives on giving a voice to the cannabis community and the industry's most innovative brands.

She uses her experience and education in marketing, law, cross-cultural communication, and TV/film management and production to advocate for cannabis law reform, educate consumers, and give businesses the exposure they need to thrive.

At the heart of Maria's work is her mission to unleash the full potential of cannabis as a wellness solution — a mission fueled by her personal experiences with pain and end-of-life pet care.

During Maria's shift from traditional television to digital media, her focus has remained on empowering people with information and supporting educators and brands through meaningful content and mentorship.

Maria holds a Doctor of Law (J.D.) degree and a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Mass Communication/Media Studies from Boston University School of Law. She is an active member of the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA) where she contributes to the Marketing & Advertising Committee.
