Hopefully you get those things in place for yourselves and
36
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.639
your family. But just before we start, you know, I
37
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.960
always have to mention sports because that's me. I'm the
38
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:16.039
big sports guy. And it's so excited because the Dodgers
39
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.360
finally won last night, broke that losing streak and it
40
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.400
is football season. I was excited to watch that Hall
41
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.199
of Fame game. I hope you guys tuned in for
42
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:28.080
a little of it. It was actually an exciting game,
43
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.039
and my engineer and I were just talking about how
44
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:34.759
loose they were out there, and I think it's because
45
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.520
there's no pressure, it's preseason. Guys were just having fun
46
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:42.280
out there. So that was very, very awesome. So anyways,
47
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:48.080
let us get on to our first special guest, Vola Rossi.
48
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:49.280
Vola, I see that you're on.
49
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:51.360
Good morning, Peter.
50
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:52.960
Hey, Vola, how are you.
51
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.159
I'm doing great. How about yourself?
52
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:56.639
I'm doing well. I'm doing well.
53
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:58.360
I'm so glad you made the time to come on
54
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.080
our show this morning. I've been I've been trying to
55
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.199
get you on for a long time, so you'll be fine.
56
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.680
Don't worry about it, all right, So just give us
57
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.680
a little bit of background of who you are. You know,
58
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.919
I did mention you're an owner of a shop out
59
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.439
here in it's in Chino Hills, right or Gino, No,
60
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:18.039
it's in China.
61
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:19.479
It's on the target spectrum.
62
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:20.639
Yeah, okay, yeah, all right.
63
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:22.439
Do you want to mention a little bit about like
64
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.759
how long it's been around and what it's actually doing.
65
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.120
Well, if I tell you how long it's been around,
66
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:34.159
it means it's dating me. But but yes, we've actually
67
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.560
been around for over twenty years. I've been doing business,
68
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.560
but I've been at the Target Spectrum shopping center for
69
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.360
going on five years. So it's a floral gift shop
70
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:50.360
and event planning. So we do everything from planning your
71
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:55.879
small parties, events to weddings. We do everything from catering
72
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.400
to staffing to rentals florals, so we're pretty much like
73
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.120
a one stop shop for all your IT and catering
74
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:03.919
needs and stuff.
75
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.439
Yeah, and so if you guys are new to our show,
76
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.360

81
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:20.959
Yeah.
82
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.120
The only thing you can't shout for is florals because
83
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.199
it is we're a flower shop. We're not one of
84
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.879
those like you know. We make seventy four of the
85
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.959
same items and stuff, so we're very customized. But we
86
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:33.560
do have a lot of things that are ready to
87
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.800
go that have already been designed and set for you.
88
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.120
So if you have that last minute birthday or a company,
89
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:41.680
you know, your boss's birthday, you don't want to forget
90
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.560
that you know those things are, Yeah, we have lots
91
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.120
of stuff that's ready to go as well.
92
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:48.399
And then is there an area that you cover?
93
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:50.800
Is it just all southern California or is it like
94
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:51.800
how far out do you go?
95
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.839
You pay, We'll go wow, Okay, I got very cold.
96
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.480
No, but yeah, most of the time, you know it's
97
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.000
but as far as like events and stuff, we travel everywhere.
98
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.839
So if you guys don't know, Vola does a lot
99
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.240
of events for our local Chamber of Commerce, which I'm
100
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.920
actually getting back involved with. I just met with Zev
101
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.759
a couple of weeks ago. So let's talk about like
102
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:15.600
how small.
103
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:16.399
Businesses use you guys.
104
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.160
Is it pretty easy to reach out to you? What
105
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.720
kind of like events do you advise small businesses to
106
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:24.439
reach out to you for?
107
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:29.399
Actually any type of events. So even if it's and
108
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.079
it's one of those things that people don't really realize
109
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.600
you need a florist or a gift shop or until
110
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:39.120
you actually are in that position, but if you think
111
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.480
even little things you as an insurance agent, let's say
112
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.600
you land a great, big client, whatever you want to
113
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.439
send a thank you gift, you do you know, there's
114
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:53.279
flowers for every occasion, whether it's you know, unfortunately, people
115
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:58.959
passing sympathy arrangements, birthdays, something to celebrate their anniversaries. You know,
116
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.720
it's not just personal things. It's also business items and
117
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.959
we do like business gift baskets things like that. So
118
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.720
you would come and you know, give me a stack
119
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.560
of your business cards and you'd say, hey, well I
120
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.120
need this going out. This is a new client real estate,
121
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.519
does it for a lot They just closed a home
122
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.639
or or closed a deal or what have you, And
123
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.360
they're like, hey, we need this arrangement set out, even balloons,
124
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.920
you know, stuff like that, and then we attach your
125
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.399
card to it with whatever note you want and it
126
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:29.839
goes out and we deliver it for you.
127
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:31.800
So that it's nice.
128
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:32.959
Yeah, no, it is.
129
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.000
And we've we've actually used ball quite a bit. Unfortunately
130
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.120
in the medicare space, we've got a lot of older
131
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.120
folks and they pass away and so we definitely want to,
132
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:43.720
you know, do something special for them.
133
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:44.879
So thank you so much.
134
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.800
Her floral arrangements are beautiful, hands down that she's probably
135
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:50.720
one of the best out here.
136
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.839
So you know, if you want to use her, let's party. Now.
137
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:56.279
Dot net is where you go.
138
00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:01.360
So what made you go into this business, Like, obviously
139
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.360
this is kind of a niche company and a niche business,
140
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:06.680
So what made you go on this journey?
141
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.959
Well, back in the day when I got married a
142
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:16.079
million years ago, thirty four years ago, I actually was
143
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:20.079
planning my own wedding out here, which my reception was
144
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:26.120
at here at a Prodo golf course, which I recently
145
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.959
ironically just did the Business Awards dinner there, and that
146
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:33.000
was just so so surreal because we just like I
147
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:34.680
hadn't been there in quite a bit as far as
148
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.240
to do a large event, and so I'm like, hey, here,
149
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:40.480
I am doing this again. So it was it was
150
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.680
kind of fun, but I was looking for people to
151
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:50.240
for help, and there wasn't that type of service at
152
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:52.920
that time unless you were one of the elite. You know.
153
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.040
I didn't have wedding coordinators. You didn't have event coordinators
154
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.279
back then unless you were the top of the top.
155
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.600
And it was like, oh all right. Even then, it
156
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:05.120
was like very few and foreign between. So I did
157
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.519
everything and then I thought to myself, you know, this
158
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.279
would be kind of crazy, but I do this for
159
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:12.120
somebody else.
160
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:13.519
So I started doing it.
161
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.079
For you know, friends and family and doing little events
162
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.800
and stuff, and honestly it just grew from there.
163
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:22.680
Wow, it really did.
164
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.720
And it was just like that self, that that gratification
165
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:30.120
to have somebody enjoy their own event for a change,
166
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:31.920
because I know what I went through just to do
167
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.799
my wedding and actually be in my wedding. You know,
168
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:37.919
it's it's it's difficult, and it was one of those
169
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.240
things where I just said, you know, it's it's fun.
170
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:43.080
It's fun, and it's very gratifying to be able to
171
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.559
have them enjoy their event, enjoy what they're doing, and
172
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:49.919
be a part of the celebration as opposed to being
173
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:52.080
in the you know, the vaccines you know.
174
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.240
Yeah, yeah, very cool, very cool.
175
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.600
Well let's transition a little bit to the Chamber of Commerce.
176
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:02.840
Obviously you're on you're on the book and Foundation. Are
177
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:03.559
you an ambassador?
178
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:04.639
I am? I am.
179
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:05.919
I'm an ambassador as.
180
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:13.279
Well personal of all hats all right, so crazy yeah, yeah, seriously. Well,
181
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:14.440
and we used to be part.
182
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:16.279
Of a B and I group if you guys don't know,
183
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.159
B and I was a business networking group. That's how
184
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.679
we initially met. So that's that's awesome.
185
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.600
So why should because we have small businesses.
186
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.639
That listen in why should a small business get involved
187
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:28.679
with the Chamber of Commerce?
188
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.399
You know, I get asked that a lot, and I'm
189
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:38.200
going to tell you the same thing is connections, connections, networking.
190
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.679
I don't think a lot of us business owners know
191
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:44.720
what we're getting into, not in a sense of not
192
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:49.600
like you know, but you don't understand the value of
193
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.279
your business till you see what the value is and
194
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.039
other people's businesses with you. And I think the connections,
195
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.200
the camaraderie, just knowing kind of like what I just
196
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.720
explained earlier, Like you know, maybe a dental office would
197
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:05.799
be like, well, we don't we don't need a florist
198
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.519
or we don't need an event coordinator on a daily basis.
199
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.519
But you know what, when they're top client, or their
200
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.720
their medical rep comes in or things like that that
201
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:17.639
they're doing and they want to send a small gift,
202
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:19.799
how easy is it for them to pick up the
203
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:21.639
phone and say, hey, Wela, can you send this over
204
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.279
to the And those are the different things, you know,
205
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:27.120
when they're doing their annual Christmas parties, when they're doing
206
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.600
their you know open we do all of through the Chamber.
207
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.519
I do all of the ribbon cuttings for the City
208
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:36.799
of Chino and Chinno Heals. So that's that's part of
209
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:40.960
my you know, contribution both to the city and our
210
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.039
local community our business growth, just to make sure that
211
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.240
they know that they do have that support for sure.
212
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:48.279
For sure, and.
213
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.519
What kind of I guess, like, how easy is it
214
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.320
to join the chamber? Is there a cost to it?
215
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:58.559
You know, like anything that would be helpful for people
216
00:10:58.600 --> 00:10:59.919
out there? There is?
217
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.200
There is definitely a cost to it. It's an annual
218
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:06.279
fee depending on the size of your business and such.
219
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.600
That's all the logistics part. But if you go on
220
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.120
Tunabali chamber dot com, you can go in there, to
221
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:17.440
the to the app, you can even do it. The
222
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:21.960
advantage is you honestly get marketing with this. I mean
223
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.240
you can put up if I wanted to, I can
224
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.919
get on there and go and say, hey, you know
225
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.919
what I need a an air conditioning person. I get
226
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.000
on there and look at our members and and that's
227
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:35.799
the other thing. If we just focused as members on
228
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.639
using our own community and our own stuff, imagine how
229
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.159
much more business we give to our own community. And
230
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:46.519
that creeds, you know, again, that camaraderie, that that closeness
231
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.279
and you know, one person does it, the other person
232
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:51.799
does it, and then they pass it along and you
233
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.879
know that's that's really just the basis of the entire thing.
234
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:55.480
It's it's a.
235
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:58.039
Networking very cool, very cool, but it.
236
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.320
Is not a get rich quick scheme. I'm to tell
237
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.879
you that right now. You do have to put in
238
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:05.840
your work. You have to be the face of your company.
239
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.519
You have to be out there representing. And like I've
240
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.600
always said, when you're top of mind, when you're in
241
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.840
people's faces all the time, you become eventually top of mind.
242
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.759
And that's what gets your business going. You can't just
243
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.559
sign up and throw in your money and then expect,
