What does it actually look like to leave one career behind and walk into the one that's been waiting for you? In this episode, Jennifer sits down with Graeme Corbett, the grower and storyteller behind Bloom & Burn, just weeks after the release of his brand new book Life in Bloom. Graeme spent years working in television in London, casting contestants for shows like The Voice and Celebrity Big Brother, before flowers found him. He talks about the long line of side projects that almost worked, the friend who told him to go to flower school, and the ten-year journey from a £7.50 posy at a London coffee shop to a cutting garden in Kent. What you'll hear: * Why he calls himself a florist first and a grower second * How a £99 online course turned into his most powerful funnel * The honest story of writing a book when you don't come from money * Why "people can only say no" is the line that changed everything If you have ever felt stuck in a career that doesn't quite fit, this one is for you.
