Open & Awkward: Shop Talk with Katie and Amanda

Subtitle: The Art of Community



Summary:

The two-week podcast break is over, and Katie and Amanda are back! Amanda admits she spends a lot of time picking up plants for jobs, (maybe not the most efficient use of her time), but she loves the drive and gives a big shout-out to Midwest Groundcovers for making it such a pleasure to do business with them. That sparks a chat about how they’ve both been spending their energy: Katie’s done the email marketing webinar thing, but her heart is really in teaching art and building community (can that be a webinar?). Which leads to the big question: where has community gone? From post-pandemic habits to the Gen Z stare, they discuss why connecting may feel harder these days.


Highlights:

  • Is what we’re doing a waste of time?
  • SHOUT OUT to Midwest Ground Covers
  • Maintaining human connection and community
  • Do people really want to understand others?
  • Compassion and boundaries (and watercolors)
  • When you want what’s best for the customers AND the plants
