Make a Statement or Stay in the House: Marlin Hargrove’s Journey to Freelance Floral Designer, one of Laughter, Redemption, and Floral Passion
Description
Episode 289: Recorded on Lori's birthday, Lori and Vonda are joined by the one and only Marlin Hargrove—freelance designer, industry educator, and master storyteller. What begins with bus-ride memories from a trip to Holland quickly unfolds into a deeply moving and wildly entertaining conversation. Marlin opens up about his 44-year journey through every corner of the floral industry—from shop floors and wholesale warehouses to addiction, recovery, and finding his place again through laughter, connection, and courage. His story is filled with grace, wisdom, and humor as he shares what it truly means to live authentically, shine in your own lane, and “make a statement or stay in the house.” This is an episode that will make you laugh, reflect, and maybe even raise your hand.
