Juggling With Flowers

Thank you Lori and Mike for providing honest and realistic floral industry advice because there aren’t enough experienced educators being transparent with the costs and vendor expectations from a professional floral designer’s perspective! Discovered this invaluable resource from Tea with Jaine’s interview. Thank you again, this is truly helpful and insightful! Please comeback!

Love Lori and Mike’s casual and friendly approach to flower podcasting. As a newbie taking flower courses, I’m finding a lot of the info in this podcast very useful and relevant. Thanks, Avaflora!

I have been following Avaflora on Instagram for years. I look forward to seeing the posts from Lori because I love her work. I find her to be very talented , and I feel like she works with flowers in a unique and interesting way. When I saw the post about Mike and Lori starting a podcast , I became curious. I have never heard a podcast before , and seeing as I love her work I figured I would hear what Mike and Lori have to say as business owners. I have listened to all 8 of her podcasts at this point. I find them all to be very informative. I know these podcasts are catered for clients, business owners , prospective business owners, and people who are working with flowers , BUT I am none of the those things and I still found these podcasts to be very informative. Without giving away all the information Mike and Lori have shared in their podcasts ,I will write just a few things that stuck out to me. First, I liked the podcast about Instagram the most. If I wanted to start a business or even sell something to an audience, that podcast helped me learn how to set a page up in a way that I feel would gain more clients. It was very informative. Next,I liked when Mike explained what he brings to Avaflora as a shared business owner. I live out of state, and I never knew what his part of the business was. I also enjoyed when Lori talked with a few guest speakers. I learned that if I wanted to plan a wedding it is easier to have a team who will collaborate with each other( Ex. The florist and the photographer). Lori elaborates on this in her latest podcast. Lastly, I find the Juggling with Flowers podcasts to be relaxing and enjoyable. I like the tone Mike and Lori have. I love how Mike and Lori complement each other when they talk. These podcasts do not sound scripted. I get a sense that Mike and Lori really enjoy helping people ,and they both want to establish a trusting relationship with their clients. Listening to these podcasts gave me the feeling that Mike and Lori love what they do , and want to continue to bring valuable content through their podcasts.

I love listening to Juggling with Flowers! I have been a huge fan of Avaflora for years, and I am so excited that Lori and Mike came out with their own podcast. As a budding floral designer, I love that they are so generous with sharing information on topics from work-life balance to running a retail shop to building their team to getting wax off your candlesticks. They don’t shy away from keeping it real, and share a lot of tips and tricks you would typically learn through trial and error. I think this podcast is accessible for anyone at any level in the floral industry. Highly recommend!!!
