floral designer

Saskatoon's Kristen Raney of Shifting Roots went from being a professional singer and vocal coach to an urban gardener, floral artist and content entrepreneur.  In this episode, Kristen shares how she created a successful multi-revenue stream business that combines online ad revenue, digital product sales, in person workshops and the creation and sale of physical floral bouquets and arrangements. Operating from an abundance mindset with a belief in the power of collaboration and education, Kristen has not only brought her audience along for the ride, she's turned the power of growing that community into a revenue generating business strategy.

 “Less is more"  says Klaus Wagener of Minden, Germany. Explaining the emerging  post-pandemic trend. That doesn't mean doing without. It suggests developing a  lifestyle of "consuming consciously while preserving natural resources."

Klaus is the CEO and creative director of BLOOM's Medien publishing house. This  well-respected trends forecaster, floral stylist, teacher, and author is  fascinated by trends.  He encourages florists to develop trend stories that connect new products with environmentally responsible  consumers.  "It must be an honest story," he cautions. He believes  that sustainability and honesty will now play a major role in the development of new products. Klaus sees a growing appreciation for seasonal materials, local products,  and the gifts of nature as a  guiding  spirit of the times. He asks the question -  "Is 'less' sometimes not even 'more?'

Chanel is the owner of Living Beauty Florals, a thriving floral design company in Jacksonville.

She was also a youth pastor at her church as a teenager. And then she got pregnant at 19. Her life shifted but not in ways that people assumed or expected.

Much like the beautiful flowers she works with every day, she grew beyond her circumstances to embody the example she wants her daughter to see, a woman who does not merely survive but THRIVES.

Today's show brings me to the Philadelphia floral design studio of Sullivan Owen. There’s no doubt that Sullivan is incredibly talented in the realm of floral design, but her business sense is what truly reeled me in as we were chatting.

During the interview, we cover her start in retail design and visual merchandising and how planning her own wedding turned her on to floral design. We also talk at length about the importance of innovation in creative work, the dangerous temptation of creating what already exists and the benefits of looking outside of your industry for inspiration.
