Meet Al Davis, he’s another fabulous human we met along this business journey. I was at a track meet late June and my friend Kim says what are you working on these days Shelley. I tell her I want to do a case study on a flower truck biz for Gabby but having some truck issues at the moment, she says what kind of truck? I say a 1950’s Ford! Kim says my dad is an expert at fixing old cars he’s been tinkering his whole life on them and needs a project - ( Check out the last pic o...f AL’s restored gem) Voila, next I ‘m on a coffee date with Al checking out the truck and delivering it to his home where he put hours of love into Ruby! Thank you Al, truck looks awesome and we can’t wait to deliver bundles of Gioia in the fall! Lesson learned, make the ask, it’s amazing who you can meet, and lastly it’s never the destination but the journey that’s rewarding! #1950ford#flowertruckonwheels#flowertrucks#torontoeastend#torontosmallbusiness#torontosmallbiz#smallbusinesstoronto#losttalent#agecomeswithwisdom#withagecomeswisdom See more

Congrats @viscatoronto for being chosen as one of the city’s best street food vendors! If you are coming to Toronto but want an authentic Spanish dish, make a stop to see Shandor at one of his locations you won’t be disappointed!#torontostreetfood#citysbest#congrats#ourmarketneighbour

We took a couple weeks off to hit the beach, leave the big city behind, no wifi, play games and think about what’s working, what’s not and what’s possible for Gioia! Good news the truck is ready to roll soon and then the possibilities are endless. Nobody says it will be easy but you get to enjoy the sweet ride! #growthmindset #youngentrepreneur2019 #torontoeastend #flowertruck #upperbeaches#backtowork#newmonth#newgoals
