Absolutely love listening to the Jet Fresh Family every Friday on my way into work. They are so relevant to what is going on in the floral industry. Mike was brought up in the industry at the ny flower market and now heads up jet fresh flowers in Miami. They have guests pretty much every episode from whatever segment in the industry and just talk and banter. It’s a large industry, but small all the same time. These guys are real deal. You’ll hear stories about the beginnings of some of the lege... more
Fernando you found your fit!! So proud of you and your journey. This podcast is awesome! To both you and Mike thank you for keeping our industry alive and cheerful!!!
This podcast has been a freaking gold mind!!! Like a crash MBA course in the floral industry. I still work part-time at Costco in Charlotte, NC area so I’ve been able to watch as Sunshine took over our floral Merch. And yes a few retail florist come in and buy 2-3 times a week. But I really think there is untapped niche market sitting between traditional wholesalers and super markets. Love those pink green sprays.
Great first episode! Great information and entertainment. I pray I can get back to my feet and get these Hippies pumping soon. When Celine, along with the farm, helped me create looks for Juneteenth, Kwanzaa, and college sororities I had so many people excited because others wouldn’t give us a shot. Cultures that love to celebrate love the JetFresh Hippies.
