Ep. 166 - A sweet & grateful flower holiday – Mother’s Day 2025
This week, the Fatties are joined by the ultimate Team Mom—Mommy “Susan” Black—alongside fan favorites Dali and Jimi. Mommy spills her candy secrets (yes, there’s a whole snack strategy), shares how she keeps the Fresh Crew fed, fueled, and feeling fabulous, and reminds us why she’s everyone’s second mom.
Dali drops in with the glow of a woman who’s crushing her prebooks and using her communication skills to turn customers into flower fam. Meanwhile, Jimi gives us the inside scoop on his client tours in the new Jet Fresh building, plus his unique take on the holiday madness.
We get into the long hours, the sacrifices, the sweet rewards—and of course, the usual tangents: getting fired, weird jobs, Fresh Fest plans, and who’s really the office favorite.
Grab a snack and call your mom. It’s a different kind of Mother’s Day.
