Her turbulent background has forged a path to help those who are suffering, ignored and silenced.

Clearly, Junod's been through plenty of sh!t most people probably don't want to even acknowledge, let alone talk about.

It’s her mission to help her clients overcome these patterns so they can take messy aligned action toward the life they desire and show up fully in their purpose. She became a coach after realizing that losing 30lbs didn’t give her the happiness she desired. She was unfulfilled in 9-5 job as an architect and had a poor relationship with herself and hated her body and thought food was the enemy. After having a spiritual awakening, overcoming an eating disorder and years of chronic negative body image and self talk, women started asking Sam, how they, too, could begin to love their bodies. Now, headfirst into entrepreneurship, Sam helps other women just like her end the battle between food and their body. From architect to personal trainer to nutrition coach, her practice is rooted in psychology and personal development that transforms clients and course members worldwide!

Debbie Millman (@DebbieMillman) is a design and branding industry impresario. She will, at any given moment, be involved in a multitude of projects and roles across the profession. For nearly 20 years, she's been the President of Sterling Brands, a design and brand strategy firm based in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Since 2005, she's hosted Design Matters, one of the most successful radio shows (now podcasts) about design and creativity. She also founded and chairs the Master's in Branding course at the School of Visual Arts in New York, and has authored numerous books. In this episode, Debbie speaks about the structure and workflow of Sterling — now a corporate agency, how she stays energized across her many endeavors, and how she's still working to overcome awkwardness in her life and career. We also get to hear the story of how Debbie and Prescott first met. Show Notes & Links Design Matters was recognized as an iTunes Best of 2015 show. Amazing achievement.

Simon Lince is Sterling's Chief Creative Officer in New York, with four Creative Directors under him. Same with Philippe Becker in SF. Sterling consciously went to the traditional advertising agency model, rather than a “bullpen” model, with lots of cross-disciplinary work. It was “less deliberate”. “Institutional knowledge” is important for growth within an agency. Helps to serve clients year-on-year. Design strategy entails asking questions: What is the brand? What is the criteria for success? What is the “whitespace” we want to uncover? Can we own that space? What is the dynamic for change within an organization? etc. “Common vocabulary does not always equate to common behavior.” —Debbie Millman Tweet This “The only people that really like brand design changes are brand designers.” (joking/not joking) —Debbie Millman Tweet This “Ambiguity is never seen positively.” (e.g., ambiguous emails) —Debbie Millman Tweet This Package design is a “very specific language.” One must know the grammar of a language, but not necessarily all the dialects, which are learned on the job.

Betsy Helmuth (@BetsyHelmuth) is an interior designer & decorator in New York City. Her company, Affordable Interior Design, offers, well, affordable interior design. Over the years, she's designed rooms in over 1,000 apartments, as well as many offices and home offices. In this conversation, we discuss some simple steps that we creative pros can take to improve our workspaces — both while renting an office and in fixing up our home office. We cover lighting, colour, shelving, storage, and other little "hacks" for setting up shop and enjoying a happy, productive, creative work-day. Show Notes & Links Betsy is the founder of Affordable Interior Design She believes you can "maximise your productivity and creativity by changing the atmosphere in which you work" When looking for an office, look for the basics — location, space, costs Also look for a building with similar businesses for future collaboration Many companies overlook their interior office design — they look good online, but it doesn't translate to the real world Barbara Corcoran says to "overextend yourself" in terms of rent. It creates hustle. "If you build it, they will come." Betsy applies this to empty desks in your office. "It's more expensive to move than to pay a little bit more each month." —Betsy Helmuth Tweet This "A rented space needs to have some home-office flavor." —Betsy Helmuth Tweet This Noisli.com, plays focus-enhancing background noise Prescott and Betsy both have home offices, as do many people in creative businesses. Many couples will keep their second bedroom and turn it into a nursery/office. Bad to mix those two. Glass desks are terrible, because of their clinking noise for a start kabelsalat, the German word for "cable salad" aka the mess of tangled cords & cables Bamboo and Plywood desks Matt Cremona, a woodworker and furniture maker, appeared on The Busy Creator Podcast, ep. 61 Task Lighting Studies show you shouldn't have too much white (and blue) light into the evening hours. Betsy's husband, Jack, is a comedy writer. Their office is "fun." Ernst & Young, accounts, probably not a fun office.

Arrange your bedroom work area so you're not facing the desk directly from bed Keep things tidy to avoid extra stress on your mind Reduce glare using diffuse window treatments To get true colour, go outside with your paint swatches. To see how it looks in a room, paint a portion of the wall. Avoid light blue or sage green for an office, they're too relaxing. Use pops of yellow or orange, they're stimulating and energizing.
