On this episode of 2 Fat Guys Talking Flowers, we’re joined by the one and only Holly Haveman—a world traveler, businesswoman, and artist on demand! As a second-generation florist with a flair for Supply Chain Management and a serious case of wanderlust, Holly brings an exciting global spin to her family’s shop, Kennedy’s, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. With her perfect mix of business savvy and artistic spirit, Holly spills the beans on her journey back into the the floral world and how she manages to keep things fun with her family by her side. 

Holly takes us through her fascinating journey, from the corporate world of Fortune 500 companies to hands-on floral work in places like Singapore and Australia. She also gives us the inside scoop on her upcoming session at Next Gen, where she’ll be dishing out tips on guided meditation and work/life balance—essential tools for all of us.   

Holly opens up her latest adventures (and yes, they involve flowers!), from the Rose bowl to watching the Monarch Butterflies Migration in Mexico. Her spontaneous spirit keeps things fresh and exciting, driving her to explore new places and steadily increasing her list of visited countries—she’s already been to 20.5% of the world’s nations! 

So, grab a cup of coffee and tune in for a fun-filled chat about the floral industry, Holly’s exciting adventures, and all the ways she juggles creativity and business like a pro!
