Join us for a conversation with Susan McLeary aka Passionflower Sue — author, educator, wearable florals innovator, and self-appointed corsage ambassador. A few of the things we're chatting about in this episode: the process of writing a book her curiosity around figuring out sticking points in the floral industry and how to improve or solve them the ebb and flow of business dreams she's realized and business changes that have happened in the 5 years since we last chatted on the BB Podcast choosing what feels most aligned with who you are rather than leaning into traditional success markers how she stays inspired finding, testing, and introducing unique items to the profession as floral mechanics why she deliberately rejects the idea of holding onto ideas seeing shortages of product as a catalyst for experimentation LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 95: Francoise Weeks Hitomi Gilliam AIFD Erin Benzakein | Floret Julie Tobi Carlota Flower Lab Madrid Flower School Azuma Makoto Maurice Harris | Bloom & Plume The Wild Mother | SendFlowersTo project Oasis cold glue AIFD Conference 2022 FOLLOW + LEARN FROM SUE MCLEARY HERE: Website Instagram Today's Episode is brought to you by: EveryStem EveryStem was created because software has the power to change the way you price and order flowers for a profit.
