Ep. 215 - From DC to Doral: Policy, Presentations, and Motivational Monologues

Send us Fan MailThis week on The Fresh Bunch, we’re covering ground from Washington, D.C. to Doral.  We discuss a few events that happened in the floral industry in April.  But first, we get some motivation from Head Coach Mike, who breaks down big floral holidays the best way he knows how—through sports analogies and classic movie-style monologues. It’s how his sales team stays focused when the pressure’s on.Jimi heads to D.C. for his first SAF Congressional Action Days, representing the flower industry and sharing what really goes on in those meetings—plus a side conversation on the “bearded presidents” you didn’t know you needed.Back in Miami, Mimi recaps the 6th Annual Doral Art & Flower Festival in the “City of Flowers.” From large-scale floral art to an AIFD educational day focused on Miami and Latino designers, the event brought together a strong mix of creativity and community. With AIFD President Renee Tucci, Alejandro Figueira Fernandes, and a lineup of designers—including our own Olga Ramirez—it was a meaningful moment for education and representation in the industry.
