I am proud to present my latest interview with two movers and shakers in the landscape world: Loriena Harrington and Shanna Scordo.

This interview is valuable whether you are a woman or a man!

  • Women will gather ideas, motivation and empowerment.
  • Men will broaden their perspective, and increase their chances of attracting and retaining women in their company.

Here is a link to the video of this interview, for those who want to watch in a group or simply watch on your own.

And for those of you who love podcasts, here is the audio.
