Send us Fan MailFatties, guess who’s back from their Euro Trip? Yup, Mike is back!

Sam shares his journey into the floral industry, starting from a part-time gig in Louisville, moving to Manhattan, and finally landing a career in sunny San Diego.  Discover how Sam, hailing from a lineage of educators, pivoted from earning a master's degree in Education to becoming a rising star in the floral industry.  We often see him on stage sharing his knowledge of floral sales and marketing and he gives us a few tips today. Through anecdotes of teaching, managing, and industry involvement, Sam shares valuable lessons on why fostering a positive mindset is important.  Listen into the conversation as we explore everything from piñatas to sports banter, all while Sam infuses his infectious positivity.
