We’re kicking off the 2025 GSBC Awards Series with a double win!

This week, Matt Taylor-Farrington sits down with Jo Steel, founder of Farfalla Interiors & Events, who walked away with both the Members’ Choice Award and the prestigious President’s Award at this year’s Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.

Jo shares her emotional reaction to hearing her name called twice in one night, and the deep meaning behind being recognised—especially for the behind-the-scenes magic she brings to so many Chamber events. From setting the mood with beautiful styling to handling the unseen hours of prep, Jo offers a look into what it really takes to create the experiences GSCC members love.

She also reflects on her connection to the Chamber community, what it means to be supported by fellow business owners, and why giving back through service has been so rewarding. Plus, in our quick-fire round, we get to know Jo beyond the spotlight—from espresso martinis to reimagining her dream GSCC event.
