Ep. 163 - Pure Intentions with Liza Roeser & Jennifer Barnard, AAF of Fifty Flowers
This week, the whole gang is in the studio with two powerhouses in the floral industry — Liza Roeser and Jennifer Barnard of Fifty Flowers. These floral superhumans dive into how they got started, what drives them, and how their community, Women in Flowers, is creating space for empowerment, collaboration, and fearless leadership.
Mike makes a heartfelt confession, Liza reveals a bold new philosophy that’s reshaping how she leads, and we hear firsthand how this dynamic duo is planning for the future — five years ahead and fearlessly.
From Peace Corps roots to family business beginnings, Liza and Jen remind us what it means to lead with intention, confidence, and clarity. They’re building a smarter, more supportive industry by surrounding themselves with brilliant minds — and becoming better in the process.
You'll hear about the exciting launch of the first Women in Flowers in-person retreat, the deep synergy between Fifty Flowers and Jet Fresh Flowers, and the inspiring global impact these women are making.
This episode is packed with laughs, real talk, and of course, pure intentions. Don’t miss it.
