Farmgirl Flowers: Christina Stembel, Founder & CEO: You may know my next guest from the Capital One credit card ads that she is featured in, or you may be a customer and tribe-member who loves her brand as much as you love her products. Christina Stembel is the widely admired founder and CEO of the quickly growing Farmgirl Flowers brand, an integrity-driven direct to consumer flower shop that is changing an archaic industry by infusing heart and soul. Farmgirl is on track to bring in $32 million this year. On this episode, Christina shares in her outgoing and transparent style how she crafted a beloved brand while being 100% bootstrapped, and not for the lack of trying.
