Podcasts about florist

Este jueves volvemos a sintonizar 'Radio Lindo' con la escritora y periodista Elvira Lindo para hablar sobre la hiperpaternidad. Abrimos una edición especial de La Ventana del Arte desde el Museo Guggenheim de Bilbao con su directora, Miren Arzalluz, y Miquel del Pozo. Nieves Concostrina nos trae un nuevo paseo por la historia. Nuestro pianista, Juan Pérez Floristán, vuelve al piano de 'La Ventana' para aclararnos algunos conceptos como el de la apropiación cultural o la música clásica.

In this week's episode, Jeni dives deep into one of the most profitable and creatively fulfilling parts of floral design — installations.She shares how installations have generated over $100K in revenue for her business and breaks down exactly how to make them a powerful, consistent income stream in yours.

Stephen Continues his discussion with Michael Jacobson about how he help save and ultimately revive his uncle's business. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Travis Crawford Ad] Rick: Told you, Brian. Brian: Told me what? Rick: This is part two of last week's episode. Brian: Oh yeah. And it was getting good. Rick: And if you missed it, you can always listen to the first one. Just back up to last week's episode. Take it away fellas. Stephen Semple: In my TEDx Talk that I did, the very, very first slide, the very first slide is win the heart and the mind will follow. Michael Jacobson: That's exactly right. We're humans. We're emotion lead. That's exactly right. Stephen Semple: Even engineers make decisions emotionally. We are wired to make decisions emotionally and connect with things emotionally. So you're 1,000% correct on this. Michael Jacobson: Thank you. Yeah, I mean, so far so good. So ultimately, the market will decide if that's true or not, but I tend to believe that that is true. Stephen Semple: Well, it's already voted that way with you so far. Michael Jacobson: Yeah, I mean, it's coming that way. And so we really focus our brand on making the client feel like the hero because they are. Buying flowers from us should feel as good as receiving the flowers. It is a remarkable act to send flowers to somebody. You are literally creating a more loving world. Stephen Semple: Yes. Michael Jacobson: And I don't know what the meaning of life is, Kay, but when I ask people, a lot of times the response is it's human connection. Or if they want to go even deeper, the meaning of life is love. And so that's the business we're in. And if you're leveraging flowers, the most meaningful gift you can give to tell somebody that you love them, you should be praised for that. And so we make our centers feel very good about that as they should be. Stephen Semple: Well, if you think about it, your business is very, very similar. Let's just look at the emotional part. Your is very similar on the emotional level as engagement rings. The person who gives an engagement ring, yes, they want the person that they're giving the ring to feel good, but it's that I give this beautiful ring to this person. They feel good. I feel good in return. So you're absolutely right. The gift of giving when it's done right both end up getting positive emotional feelings about it. The receiver feels great. And when it's done right, the giver feels great as well. Here's the other thing that people discount in gift giving, it now actually creates a shared narrative. Michael Jacobson: That's right. Stephen Semple: Because we've actually shared in that gift, even if it's thousands of miles away, even if I never talk to the person, even if the person's in a coma and it goes to the hospital, I still have a shared experience now with that individual through emotionally taking that act. You're absolutely 1,000% correct on these things. Michael Jacobson: Yeah, thanks. It bothers me because we would not be doing what we're doing if somebody else was. We never had the ambition. So I want to answer your question on my franchise. We wouldn't franchise, we wouldn't even expand corporate locations if there was somebody in our industry that was doing it as well as we thought it should be done. But nobody is. Our market leader is 1-800-FLOWERS, and my job is not to bash the competitors. We shine our own lamp.

In this vulnerable and honest episode, Jeni opens up about the mental load of trying to run a business while being a mom, partner, and woman who wants to do it all — and do it well.From juggling wedding setups, client communication, and creative energy to being present for your kids, managing household tasks, and just remembering to breathe — this episode gives voice to the quiet exhaustion so many of us feel but rarely talk about.Jeni reminds listeners that “done is better than perfect”, that it's okay to take up space, and that your business can grow slowly and still be deeply successful. This isn't about hustle culture — it's about building a business that works with your life, not against it.

Michael Jacobson wanted to help his uncle sell his flower shop, but now it is growing like a weed. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick in business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients, so here's one of those. [Seaside Plumbing Ad} Stephen Semple: Hey, it's Stephen Semple here and we are without Dave Young today because we have an opportunity for a really, really special interview. I have with me Michael Jacobson from French Florist and we had a conversation, it was probably about a month and a half ago, and I just thought some of the things that you shared was amazing and I was like, "I got to get Michael onto the podcast." Now, the first question I asked Michael is, what's your title? "We don't believe in titles." I said, "Are you the founder?" "Well, sort of." That's where we'll start. That's where we'll start the story about French Florist in terms of how you came to be the owner and what's happened in the time that the business has been with you. Michael Jacabson: Awesome. Thanks Stephen. This is a generous introduction. I appreciate that. Thank you. When I say we don't believe in titles, we really don't. As we get to be a bigger organization, we brought on a chief operating officer who's a lot smarter in operations than I am. And that's become my job is hire people that are smarter than you and give them the reins, so maybe, I don't know what title that is, but whatever that job is, and she tells me we do need titles because it helps with accountability and that kind of important stuff. I thought it was a little boring, but she did convince me. Stephen Semple: Before we go on, what size are you at today? You're large enough that you brought in a chief operating officer, so how many employees do you have now? Michael Jacabson: We've got just over 100 employees now. Stephen Semple: How many locations? Michael Jacabson: We have 10 locations now and we'll have 17 open by the end of the year. We'll have 60 open by the end of next, so a lot of our employees- Stephen Semple: Awesome. Michael Jacabson: ... right now aren't necessarily for the immediate now, but we're building the infrastructure to support tomorrow. Stephen Semple: That's cool. That's cool. That's amazing. That's amazing growth, so 100 people now, but you're really looking to go to that... You're at 17, going to 60 locations. That's awesome. Going back to the early days of how you found yourself owning French Florist. Michael Jacabson: Oh, gosh. Okay, so I don't know if this will resonate with the audience. Hopefully it does. I've graduated college... You hear the statistics of how many startups fail, whatever it is, 90, 95% of startups. I did- Stephen Semple: Most. Michael Jacabson: Most. And I actually joined a few startups in college that I didn't found but kind of joined their team. All of them, but one failed, so I saw firsthand too. And I took a job in super boring corporate consulting right out of college, paid super well, great opportunity. I could work alongside awesome executives at really awesome companies. That was the pitch. I didn't make it even a year. I made it about one year and it just didn't feed that fire in my belly. That was the wall that my ladder was leaned against and I could sit there and climb that ladder or if I'm not happy, do something about it. And so I had my ear to the ground with different opportunities and I got a call from my uncle one day and he says, "Mike, I've been running my flower shop for 38 years. I'm working six days a week, 60 hours a week or more,

Florist Mauricio Vivas grows marigolds for these reverent altars, and sells them at his store “Tony Rossi & Sons Florist” in Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood. KALW's Jenee Darden recently spoke to Mauricio in 2024 about the significance of marigolds for Dia de los Muertos traditions.

Being busy doesn't mean you're successful — it just means you're tired.In this episode, Jeni shares the hard-earned lessons from years of chasing “busy” and finally learning that true growth comes from understanding profit, not just bookings.She dives into:

Es gibt Studien darüber, welche Berufe am glücklichsten machen - weit oben ist immer der Florist oder die Floristin. Warum das so ist, kann uns mit vollster Begeisterung in dieser Folge Patricia erzählen. Sie lebt diesen Beruf mit ihrer vollsten Leidenschaft und hat auch so richtig viel draus gemacht. Sie hat sich mit 22 mit einem Blumenladen selbstständig gemacht und hat jetzt 3 Ladengeschäfte und bis zu 10 Hochzeiten pro Wochenende, die sie mit Blumen und Dekorationen versorgt. Natürlich gibt es auch Schattenseiten in diesem Beruf, davon erzählt sie auch - es ist bestimmt nicht der Traumberuf aller Menschen. Aber es gibt wohl kaum einen Beruf, der Kreativität, Ästhetik, Natur, die Arbeit mit den Händen und Kontakte mit Menschen so verbindet. Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

In this powerful episode, Jeni dives deep into one of the most common questions she gets from florists and creative entrepreneurs: “Can I really double my revenue next year?”Spoiler alert — yes, you can. But it requires clarity, commitment, and a plan.Jeni shares:

„V poslední době je velký problém se smrkovým chvojím, protože smrky byli napadené kůrovcem a lesy se vysazují nové,“ říká vedoucí pohřební služby v Přerově.

Your business runs on flowers — but it thrives on communication.In this episode of The Floral CEO Podcast, I'm diving into the five most common breakdowns florists make when communicating with clients — the simple but critical mistakes that can derail bookings, cause confusion, or leave clients guessing.If you've ever felt ghosted, overwhelmed, or unsure how to guide a client through your process, this one's for you. I'm walking you through how to identify red flags, set boundaries, and make your communication work for you (not drain your energy).

Rejection hurts—we all know it. Whether it's losing a wedding client to another florist, getting ghosted after pouring hours into a proposal, or even receiving a harsh review, rejection can feel like a personal attack.

Every “no” gets you closer to the right “yes.”

Do you ever walk out of the wholesaler with way more flowers than you budgeted for? Or find yourself adding “just a few extra stems” because you want your work to look next-level amazing? If so, you're not alone. In this minisode of The Floral CEO Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on a topic that came directly from a recent coaching call inside the Floral CEO Mastermind: overspending.Overspending is one of the most common reasons florists struggle with profitability — and the truth is, it's rarely just about flowers. Sometimes it's about ego, validation, or fear of not being “enough.” In this episode, I'll help you uncover the root causes, set boundaries with your budgets, and create systems that protect your profits without stifling your creativity.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The subconscious reasons behind overspending (fear, ego, self-worth).Why overspending erodes your profitability and leads to burnout.How to shift your mindset from “more is better” to “enough is enough.”Mantras and affirmations you can use in the moment to stop the cycle.Practical strategies, like building a “fun flower budget,” so you can still feel creative without sabotaging your bottom line.Why your budget is actually a boundary that your future self will thank you for.Key Quotes from This Episode:“Your budget is a boundary your future self will thank you for.”“Stop overspending to prove your worth — your art is enough.”“Fulfillment and profitability must go hand in hand, or resentment takes root.”Why This Episode Matters:As florists, it's easy to feel like “just a little extra” won't matter. But overspending adds up quickly — and it's often the difference between a thriving business and one that's just scraping by. By learning to set intentional boundaries with your designs, you'll not only increase your profits but also build a business that feels aligned and sustainable.Resources & Links Mentioned:Floral CEO Mastermind – Join for monthly live coaching, tools, and community.
