Jamie Andrea Garzot isn’t just a woman; she’s a revolution. A born rule-breaker, she clawed her way from scrappy startup to an 8-figure cannabis empire, only to flip the script and sell it to a global juggernaut. But that was just the warm-up.

After a decade grinding in California’s green gold rush, Jamie didn’t just step back—she detonated her old life. In mere months, she penned a memoir that didn’t just whisper inspiration; it roared, snagging 10 awards, including the Eric Hoffer and IPPY, and clawing its way to #30 on Amazon’s State and Local Government Bestseller list. (It’s out of print now, but whisper her name—she might hook you up with a rare copy.)

Then, she bolted from California’s liberal bubble to the Deep South for a five-month detour that cracked her world open. In a plot twist even M. Night Shyamalan couldn’t dream up, Jamie realized she wasn’t as straight as her old life suggested. Talk about a wake-up call—leaving the West Coast to come out? That’s next-level irony.

Caught in the TikTok spiral in early 2022, Jamie didn’t just scroll—she hunted, flirted, and found her soulmate. That spark turned into a blaze, and now she’s married to Michelle, her partner in crime, living on a wild property echoing with the chaos of 40 non-human feet.

A public speaking powerhouse since 2009, Jamie’s owned stages from gritty Rotary meetings to high-stakes cannabis conferences, UC Berkeley debates, community college classrooms, law enforcement briefings, and chambers of commerce. She’s stared down state legislators in Sacramento and Denver, and traded power moves with federal regulators in D.C. and British Columbia. Her voice doesn’t just carry—it cuts.

California will always pulse in her veins, but Jamie and Michelle have planted their flag elsewhere, redefining “home” on their own terms. With a Bachelor of Arts in English from San Diego State University, Jamie’s not just a visionary—she’s a storyteller who’s rewriting what’s possible.
