On the pod today: Molly Mathias, the founder of Go Easy—a cannabis lifestyle brand based in Dallas that’s making self-care a little more accessible and a lot less complicated.
We love a good reinvention story, and Molly is truly an inspiration. A former CPA, realtor, and retail business owner, she decided to trade spreadsheets and cubicles for creativity and connection, opening her dream concept during the middle of the pandemic (not exactly easy!). But Go Easy isn’t just about selling super cute bongs and CBD products (and they are cute)—it’s about creating a space where self-care is approachable, judgment-free, and, dare we say, joyful.
While many brands lean into luxury or exclusivity, Go Easy celebrates the everyday. After making her own lifestyle shift during the pandemic, Molly wanted to normalize the joy of slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, and finding beauty in daily rituals. Whether it’s a perfectly designed bong, a gummy that actually tastes good, or just a moment to breathe, her philosophy is simple: self-care doesn’t have to be complicated—just go easy.
More importantly, Molly keeps her price points accessible because working-class ladies deserve to light up in style, too. Take her Dirty Martini Bowl, which is just $35, or her latest drop, the Good Day Bong, for $69—proof that a good time doesn’t have to break the bank.
Molly’s story is a testament to the Lone Star State spirit: bold, resilient, and unafraid to carve out a space where others might hesitate. We talked about what it’s like to build a business from scratch in an industry that’s still finding its footing—especially in a state like Texas, where cannabis culture toes an unusual line depending on where you are and how “friendly” the locals are about it.
With the recent election and Dallas voters passing measures to decriminalize small amounts of cannabis, Texans are left wondering: what’s next for legalization? Despite its reputation as a conservative state, Texas might just be the perfect place to spark meaningful change.
And as we head into Small Business Saturday and Green Wednesday, Molly reminds us that supporting local businesses like Go Easy isn’t just about shopping—it’s about uplifting brands that bring creativity, community, and care into our lives. Whether it’s designing bongs with generous bowls (because yes, Texas does everything bigger) or crafting the best-tasting gummies around, Molly’s work is a love letter to the idea that self-care should be care-free
