Welcome back, friends! In this episode I speak to comedian Lizzy Hoo.

We talk about how Lizzy handled money growing up, where to draw the line with humour, running a business as a comedy woman, and more. You can find Lizzy at the next comedy festival in your nearest city. If you want to watch this interview, head to www.youtube.com/@bani

Dr Lisa Cooper is a florist, artist, doctor of philosophy, and author of the book, The Flowers - which is what our episode is about. We talk about ballet, flowers, process, violence, and grace. I do mention in the episode about how we met, so I won’t say too much but I like to refer to myself as the hot minute intern in her life, and I stand by that position.
