The Business & Pleasure of Flowers

From Castles to Conferences: Lessons from Abroad and AIFD


Listen Later

Episode 292: Lori returns from her unforgettable trip to Scotland and Ireland—packed with castles, cobblestone streets, walking tours, pub chats, and even an ancient gospel manuscript. She and Vonda reflect on the joy of cultural exploration, the value of unplugging, and the unexpected tug of floral FOMO, even when you’re surrounded by highland cows and Guinness.

Back stateside, Vonda shares behind-the-scenes lessons from AIFD Symposium and what it means to lead with intentionality, observation, and personal invitation. Together, they dive into how volunteering, mentoring, and simply asking someone to step up can change everything—at work, in community, and beyond.

Whether you’re a flower pro, a traveler at heart, or someone who believes in learning from every experience—this episode reminds you how powerful it is to stay curious, stay connected, and say yes to new opportunities.
