Season 2 Episode 23: HIRE THE EXPERT
People Buy What They Understand
What’s this podcast about?
Katie shares her upcoming plans for a Chicago trip to visit clients. She and Amanda brainstorm about art classes they could co-host at Amanda’s shop. Amanda recounts a whirlwind week of events: hosting teenagers from the School of the Blind for a hands-on project, a bridal shower that didn’t quite go as expected, and then welcoming 20 Master Gardeners the very next morning for a talk! They also catch up on Amanda’s HR friend, who’s launching a pop-up/mobile HR business offering onboarding, hiring, firing, and more. Wrapping up, Katie talks about what she wants to be when she grows up: connecting professional women across the horticulture industry through creative networking opportunities.
