Episode 87 - From Heartbreak to Harvest with Liz Fiedler Mergen

Liz's journey was never part of a carefully written business plan. A nurse practitioner by training, she unexpectedly found herself rebuilding a life she never imagined after the devastating loss of her husband. What began as a small roadside flower stand during the uncertainty of 2020 transformed into something far bigger: a thriving flower farm, event venue, educational platform, bestselling book, and a mission rooted in joy and resilience. In this conversation, Liz shares the remarkable story behind Sunny Mary Meadow [https://sunnymarymeadow.com/]—from growing flowers and growing a business to navigating grief, entrepreneurship, motherhood, and learning how to rebuild after life changes everything.  Liz’s story is a reminder that even when life doesn’t go according to plan, something meaningful can still bloom.

Episode 84: Building the Future of Ghana with Kojo Boadi

Kojo Boadi’s journey begins thousands of miles from the coastline he is now helping transform. Born and raised in Ghana, he came to the United States at nineteen with a purpose that, even then, felt bigger than simply earning a degree.  In this episode, Kojo shares how he’s working to reshape coastal communities in Ghana through bold, purpose-driven development. He pulls back the curtain on his flagship projects, including luxury hospitality and residential developments built on 300 acres of coastal land.   Kojo’s story is a reminder that meaningful development isn’t just about profit—it’s about building opportunity, strengthening communities, and daring to pursue ideas that can change an entire region.  Eleven Eleven Development [https://www.linkedin.com/company/eleven-eleven-development/] Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1968162/fan_mail/new]
