In this episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Lisa Drew, whose story is nothing short of inspiring. After more than 30 years as a radio journalist, Lisa made the bold decision to transition into flower farming—a career shift that combines her passion for the outdoors with her entrepreneurial drive. We talked about what motivated her to make such a significant change, the challenges she faced along the way, and the lessons she’s learned while building her flower farm business. Lisa’s story is a testament to the idea that it’s never too late to pursue something you truly love, and her insights about passion, adaptability, and community are incredibly valuable for anyone considering a big life change.

What struck us most was Lisa’s honesty about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. From managing unexpected setbacks, like flooding her peony crops, to finding joy in running workshops and connecting with her local community, she’s all in. We also loved how she’s using her background in radio to connect with her customers through storytelling and social media. Whether you’re thinking about a second career, starting a small business, or just looking for inspiration, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways. Lisa truly shows how following your passion can lead to both fulfillment and success.
