We’re back — and Mike is back at the cabin — with a whole lot to unpack. In this episode, we kick things off by figuring out our new intro music, rethinking the podcast name, and trying (hilariously) to agree on a new sound. Cabin Mike brings the bird sounds and boat vibes while we get deep into cereal critiques.  

Then we shift gears to reflect on two major wins: Fresh Fest and the Blooms + BIRDIES Golf Tournament. We’re still buzzing from the community love, creative energy, and massive support from our sponsors, speakers, designers, and everyone who made it feel less like an event and more like a floral art movement. This one’s a little chaotic, a little nostalgic, but all heart from your Fresh Podcast hosts: Mike, Ryan, Mimi and Joel of Jet Fresh Flowers.

We're back and turning the page onto a new chapter. In this heartfelt final episode, using the title 2 Fat Guys Talking Flowers, as you’ve come to know it, we reflect on the evolution of Mike’s Jet Fresh journey and the realities of professional change. As we say goodbye to our co-host Fern, we discuss the bittersweet emotions that come with transitions, the importance of taking time to reflect, and what lies ahead for the podcast.

With Fresh Fest upon us, we’re hitting pause to celebrate, GOLF, regroup, rebrand,& welcome back —Cabin Mike. This transition marks the end of an era—but not the end of the story. Thank you for being part of our community.

We’ll be back soon with fresh ideas, a renewed vision, and maybe a little lake house inspiration from Cabin Mike.

We appreciate your patience during this transition. Submit your comments, suggestions, and questions for the podcast to [email protected]

This week on 2 Fat Guys Talking Flowers, we’re joined by the incredibly patriotic and talented Jena Gizerskiy, Sales Manager at Rosaprima. Together with Mike, Ryan, and Mimi, we discuss the powerful mission of the Memorial Day Flowers Foundation—an initiative close to all our hearts.

We share our personal experiences volunteering, including this year’s exciting collaboration between Jet Fresh Flowers and Rosaprima to honor veterans at the South Florida National Cemetery and Arlington National Cemetery.

But like all of the Fresh Podcast episodes we get off topic & there’s plenty of laughter too! From camping misadventures to unexpected love stories (and yes, a few creepy crawlers), we keep things lighthearted while celebrating a truly meaningful cause.

Learn how you can get involved at memorialdayflowers.org  

& how we can continue to help the Foundation spread That Flower Feeling.

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.

In this episode of 2 Fat Guys Talking Flowers, we sit down with Semia Dunne, the powerhouse Founder & CEO of Flowers by Semia and The Floral Reserve.  Semia shares how her childhood memories of gardening with her mother blossomed into a lifelong passion—and eventually, a thriving floral design studio established in 2000.

Semia takes us behind the blooms—from her pivot away from a pre-med path to designing for celebrity weddings, the NYBG Orchid Dinner, to how she started a wholesale floral operation that champions local and international sourcing. She opens up about building community through floristry, finding inspiration from fellow floral artists, and reimagining floral design as a fine art, inspired by the timeless elegance of the Dutch Masters.

The Fatty Crew and Semia explore how modern floral trends are reshaping the industry, and how she views floral design as an evolving art form—one she likens to the timeless beauty of the Dutch Masters.

This conversation is full of inspiration, artistry, and the kind of grounded wisdom that grows from the soil up.

On this week’s episode of 2 Fat Guys Talking Flowers, we’re two Fat Guys short—but don’t worry, the Marketing Dream Team is here to save the day! Ryan, Mimi, and Joel take the reins and get the chance to reconnect with the one and only Sheldon.

Now, funny story… the original podcast file went poof thanks to a tech fail (RIP audio), but lucky for us, Sheldon was down to chat twice—and honestly, he’s worth it.

Sheldon is the store manager and head designer at Flowers by Michelle in Las Vegas, and he’s crushing it in the floral world. He’s a proud member of the SAF Next Gen Committee, and credits his family and the Next Gen community for helping him bloom with confidence and connections.

With over a decade in the floral game, Sheldon now runs the family shop like a boss and is currently a finalist in the Dueling Delphinium Design Challenge hosted by Details + Ball SB. At just 25 years old, he’s already a trendsetter, a design force, and one to watch in the industry.

We’re thrilled to have Sheldon on the podcast (TWICE) and even more excited to keep watching him make waves in the industry. This episode is packed with insight, laughs, food talk and inspiration—don’t miss it!

No stopping Sheldon, well except Dolphins. https://www.instagram.com/sheldon_jens/     https://www.flowersbymichelle.com
