Podcasts about designers

303: Creating a Legacy: A Designer Like Me With me on the podcast today is Kymberlyn Lacy of Kymberlyn Lacy Interiors, and I am so excited for this conversation. Kymberlyn is an incredibly talented designer who has built strategic partnerships with vendors across the country and is truly someone to watch in the interiors industry. She's innovative, forward-thinking, and always leading the way. But what makes today's episode especially meaningful is her newest project—her children's book, A Designer Like Me, developed alongside the STEM coalition. It's a beautiful story designed to help kids see themselves in creative careers and recognize that there's a place for them in the world of interiors and design. We'll talk about the book's development, the inspiration behind the main character, Fawn, and how Kymberlyn is thinking about legacy, representation, and opening doors for the next generation. It's a heartfelt, inspiring conversation you're going to love. Topics Mentioned: Legacy building STEM Creativity Key Thoughts:  Life altering events and health challenges can lead to significant shifts in not only perspectives, but in careers. Legacy becomes more important as we age and as we face these challenges. Design is closely tied to STEM, even if we think of it more as creative in nature. Having a diverse representation of an industry is powerful.     Contact Michele: Email: Team@ScarletThreadConsulting.com Facebook: Scarlet Thread Consulting Instagram: @ScarletThreadATL Website: ScarletThreadConsulting.com LinkedIn: Michele Williams   Contact Kymberlyn: Email: inquire@kymberlynlacyinteriors.com Instagram: @kymberlynlacyinteriors LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kymberlynlacy/ Website: kymberlynlacyinteriors.com Website: adesignerlikeme.com   References and Resources: Work with Me The Designers' Inner Circle - Become a Member Today    CFO2Go Metrique Solutions

Want to design learning that actually sticks—and gets you hired? Jackie sits down with Connie Malamed, publisher of The eLearning Coach website and podcast, author of Visual Design Solutions and Visual Language for Designers, to unpack how newcomers can skip the noise, master the essentials, and build a portfolio that proves real instructional design skill. We dive into the mindset shift from “make e‑learning” to “design for how people learn,” then get tactical: reducing cognitive load with white space and alignment, using dual coding without redundancy, and making accessibility a default through color contrast and non‑color cues.Whether you're transitioning from K‑12 or pivoting into corporate learning, this conversation gives you a focused path: design with empathy, keep visuals purposeful, and ship polished work that respects learners' time. If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so others can find the show. What's one change you'll make in your next project?

In this episode of the Help! I Am Artist podcast, I'm joined by Canadian artist Valerie Capewell for an honest conversation about creativity, courage, and building a sustainable life as an artist. Valerie shares her journey from running a successful graphic design business to becoming a full-time painter, and how trusting her process, even when it feels messy or uncertain, has shaped her unique artistic voice. We talk about the creative roller coaster of making art, finding your audience, balancing business with personal expression, and why structure and consistency can actually support artistic freedom. Valerie also opens up about pricing, working with galleries, and the mindset shifts that helped her keep growing as an artist. If you've ever wondered how to keep pushing your work forward while staying true to yourself, this episode is full of insight and encouragement.

TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of sexual abuse and crimes against minors. As the head of the FBI and DOJ continue to downplay, deny, and deflect from the Epstein Files in Congressional hearings, we delve into evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was not only managing a human trafficking for the rich and powerful, but that he was also intentionally impregnating girls. We also review emails that showcase his efforts to fund studies on evolution and how to create "designer babies". Then, we compare that information with allegations about his secluded Zorro Ranch property in New Mexico, which was never searched despite an alleged former staff member reporting buried bodies. We conclude by reviewing emails that detail how involved Epstein was in medical information about his victims and what doctors he trusted, and paid, to provide them care. People featured for their Epstein correspondence and/or connection in this episode include: Mark Tramo, Martin Nowak, Bryan Bishop, Dr. Barnaby Marsh, Dr. Adam Romoff, Dr. Daniel C. Baker, Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Matthew Mellon, Leslie Wexner, and victim's advocate Conchita Sarnoff.Check your voter registration, find your polling location, or contact your representatives via USA.GOV, VOTE.GOV, and/or the "5 Calls" app. All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

You're not behind. You're just running too fast. Most leaders think the answer to overwhelm is speed—more efficiency, tighter schedules, faster execution. But what if the real problem isn't that you're doing too little? What if it's that you're running at an unsustainable pace that's hurting you, your family, your work, and your team? In this final episode of our Five Spheres of an H2 Leader series, we're tackling pace, how fast you're running, why you're running that fast, and what it's costing you. Most leaders execute from anxiety and shame, not focus and clarity. They're running FROM something instead of running TO something. And when you run too fast for too long, everything suffers—your health, your relationships, your creativity, and your team's culture. Alan breaks down the difference between personal activation (how fast you're running) and communal activation (how fast you're driving your team to run). And he introduces the concept that changes everything: effectiveness over efficiency. What You'll Learn: Why most leaders execute from anxiety and shame instead of focus and clarity—and how to shift from running FROM something to running TO something Personal activation vs. communal activation: how your pace directly impacts everyone around you (whether you realize it or not) The efficiency trap: why focusing on "doing all the things as fast as possible" kills creativity, presence, and quality Peter Drucker's definition of effectiveness: doing the right things well—not all the things quickly How to identify if you're running at a sustainable pace: the 1-10 self-assessment and why most leaders overestimate their capacity Four things that suffer when you run too fast: your health (cardiac issues, stress, sleep), those you love (presence, connection), your work (creativity, quality, enjoyment), and your team (culture, morale, burnout) The seasonal awareness principle: why some sprint seasons are okay—but only if you know they're seasons with a beginning and an end Why hurry is literally killing you: the science on how chronic rushing impacts everything from heart health to weight to sleep quality The communal cost of your pace: how your speed becomes your team's speed—and why your anxiety cascades down the org chart Sabbath as the killer app: one day a week where you get to just be human, not a leader—and why this weekly rhythm recalibrates your entire pace The scarcity mentality test: if you find yourself saying "there's never enough time to ___," you're running from scarcity, not toward clarity How to move from efficiency (doing all things fast) to effectiveness (doing the right things well) Why you're probably not behind: the lie that you need to run faster, and the truth that you need to run smarter The Right Side Up Journal: a 10-minute daily practice to focus your day, prioritize what matters, and remember that your son's basketball game tonight is more important than your task list Key Insight: You have way more influence than you think. The people around you are watching how you run, feeling your anxiety, and absorbing your pace. When you slow down, you give your team permission to breathe. When you focus on effectiveness over efficiency, you create space for creativity, presence, and quality. When you Sabbath weekly, you remind yourself—and your team—that the world runs just fine without you grinding 24/7. Reflection Questions: How sustainable is the pace you're running at right now? (1-10) What would your family say about your pace? What would your team say about the pace you're setting? Are you running FROM something (anxiety, shame, scarcity) or TO something (purpose, clarity, mission)? What are the 3-4 right things you should be doing right now—and are you doing them well, or just fast? Series Context: This is the fifth and final episode in our Five Spheres of an H2 Leader series. The five spheres are: Influence - How you wield your relational and positional power Health - How you live integrated and aligned to values and needs Self-Awareness - How your emotions, assets, and liabilities impact others Design - How you maximize your talents and abilities Pace - How you move and drive others to move If you haven't listened to the full series, go back and start with Episode 1. These five spheres work together as a tapestry—below-the-surface aspects of leadership that won't show up on scorecards or P&L statements, but deeply affect you, your family, your team, and your organization. Resources Mentioned: Right Side Up Journal (available on Amazon) - 10-minute daily planning tool, 90-day process, 4th edition coming soon Peter Drucker's work on effectiveness vs. efficiency The Five Spheres Recap: This series has been about things below the surface—aspects of leadership that don't show up on websites or win columns, but shape everything. The higher you are on the org chart, the more these spheres impact the people around you. We've covered influence (your power), health (your integration), self-awareness (your emotional impact), design (your unique wiring), and now pace (your speed and sustainability). These aren't destinations. You don't arrive and get a trophy. You're in direction of becoming a healthy, high-impact leader. And that's the journey we're on together. Want More? We believe you are designed by a Designer who invites you to co-design your life with Him. If you don't believe that, you'll just get pulled along by your life—by social media, email, news cycles, and other people's urgency. But we believe it's intelligent, personal, and purposeful. You are invited to collaborate in your own life. For coaching, consulting, and resources to help you lead as a Healthy + High Impact leader, visit h2leadership.com.

Nurses sit at the intersection of people, systems, and care, and that perspective makes them powerful designers of better healthcare. In this Insight from Episode 24: Designing With, nurse and service designer Brittany Merkel shares how the core practices of nursing are also the foundations of human-centered design, and why it's important to design with nurses, not for them.  To listen to this Insight clip's full episode, visit the SEE YOU NOW podcast library at APPLE, SPOTIFY, YouTube, or any of your favorite streaming platforms.   For more information on the podcast bundles, visit ANA's Innovation Website at https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/innovation/education.    Have questions or feedback for the SEE YOU NOW team?  Future episode ideas?

If you look at the current job market, you might notice something strange... The words "service design" seem to be slowly disappearing from job titles. Does that mean our field is shrinking, or worse, becoming obsolete? Well, according to our guest, Giulia Di Gregorio, that's definitely not the case. If anything, the opposite is true. Giulia argues that while the titles might be vanishing, the practice is actually spreading. Service design is everywhere now; it's just hiding under different names. But this "diversification" creates a new challenge. If everyone has a different job title, where do you find your professional peers? Where's that safe space where you can get together to commiserate, find inspiration, and learn from each other? That's what Giulia and a few folks were thinking as well. But instead of just thinking about it they rolled up their sleeves and decided to revive Service Design Drinks Milan. This didn't become just another meetup; it became a "pirate version" of a community. And it's been a pretty successful one.In this conversation, we explore what it looks like to run a community that's driven by volunteers, has no hierarchy, and is governed by the energy people actually have to give. We also talk about building "synergies" with other communities instead of acting like isolated islands. And we dig into why the best way to scale might be through small, independent nodes across the world rather than one big centralized network. So if you've been feeling a bit "homeless" in your service design role lately, this is a great conversation about reclaiming your identity and connecting with your tribe. What stuck with me is the idea that when a project starts feeling like "work," you might be heading in the wrong direction and should reconsider your options. Something to think about both in our professional context as well as in our passion projects. Enjoy the conversation and keep making a positive impact!~ Marc--- [ 1.

In this episode of Future of UX, I'm joined by Julian Della Mattia, Senior User Insights Manager at DuckDuckGo.I first came across Julian through his conference talk on synthetic users, and it immediately stood out. Not because it was hyped, but because it was thoughtful, critical, and refreshingly honest. At a time when AI research tools are popping up everywhere, Julian brings a grounded perspective on what actually helps, what quietly misleads teams, and why judgment still matters more than speed.In this conversation, we talk about:What synthetic users really are and what they're notWhere AI-generated users can be useful and where they become riskyWhy “plausible” answers are often more dangerous than wrong onesAI-moderated interviews and what they do well (and badly)Bias, validation, and responsibility in AI-supported researchHow the role of UX researchers is shifting from execution to orchestrationThis episode isn't about replacing research with AI.It's about learning how to use AI as a tool without losing context, empathy, or decision quality.If you work in UX, research, or product, and you're trying to make sense of how AI is changing research practice right now, this episode will give you a much clearer mental model.Resources mentioned:Follow Julian's work: SubstackAI for Designers: 5-week Bootcamp

191 / Sichtbarkeit wird für Kreative gerade spürbar knapper. Nicht, weil du schlechter arbeitest, sondern weil Social Media voller wird. In dieser Folge spreche ich darüber, warum Akquise über Instagram und Co für viele Illustrator*innen und Designer*innen an Wirkung verliert und wie Akquise auch ohne Social Media funktionieren kann. Es geht um eigene Bühnen, echte Beziehungen und darum, sichtbar zu bleiben, ohne lauter zu schreien.

If you're an Eternal player who's feeling burned out on Magic: The Gathering Legacy…This might be the healthiest side-quest you can take.Today we're doing a crossover between Eternal Durdles and Common Sense Sorcery to answer one question:Why should Legacy, Vintage, Premodern, and Old School players try Sorcery: Contested Realm?We break it down simply:• 1 set per year (no product treadmill)• Slower, skill-testing gameplay (positioning > “gotcha” cards)• Hand-painted art, zero IP crossovers• Affordable deckbuilding (1-of mythics, not 4-of staples)• Designers who actually listen and patch mistakes fast• A format that feels like old-school Magic used toPhil talks about almost quitting Legacy entirely… and how Sorcery brought back that “I want to play cards again” feeling.If you love Eternal Magic but hate the churn, the power creep, and the constant spoiler seasons — this might be exactly what you're looking for.

Wedding dress designer Hayley Paige (of recent Super Bowl fame!) and luxury wedding planner Julia Noelle Ferrigno join Dinner for Shoes host Sarah Wasilak for an unfiltered conversation about the modern wedding industry through the lens of fashion, power, and self-expression.We kick things off with Hayley's viral CNN moment imagining Taylor Swift's wedding dress, unpacking what celebrity weddings really teach brides about symbolism versus spectacle. From there, the conversation dives deep into how today's brides are breaking free from tradition.Hayley opens up about fighting to reclaim the rights to her own name, how that experience led to founding A Girl You Might Know Foundation, and what brides (and creators) should understand about protecting creative identity in a corporate-driven industry. Together, Hayley and Julia share insider designer-planner tea, overlooked fashion details that can make or break a wedding day, and the emotional weight brides often place on The Dress.Plus: inclusivity in bridal (what's real vs. performative), practical advice for brides planning far in advance, and rewriting outdated wedding “rules.”Whether you're engaged, wedding-curious, or just obsessed with fashion and power dynamics behind the scenes, this episode goes far beyond the Pinterest version of bridal.THESE SHOESMargaux The Cluny SlingbackTHIS OUTFITShop my lookHouse Of Harlow 1960 x Revolve dressNina bagVintage earringsTHESE CHAPTERS00:00 INTRO02:10 THE OUTFIT BEHIND THE SHOES03:32 HAYLEY PAIGE AND JULIA FERRIGNO INTERVIEW46:34 WEDDING INDUSTRY TAKEAWAYSTHIS PRODUCTIONis created, written, hosted, and produced by Sarah Wasilak.is creative directed and executive produced by Megan Kai.is tech supervised by Nick.includes photos and videos in chronological order by Julia Ferrigno, Hayley Paige, She Is Cheval, A Girl You Might Know Foundation, and Sarah Wasilak.references A Girl You Might Know Foundation. is made with love.Dinner for Shoes is a podcast about style and identity, bridging the gap for anyone who has ever felt like fashion is an exclusive world.

Feeling conflicted about wanting more money, growth, or freedom as a graphic designer? This episode breaks down the hidden guilt that keeps creative careers stuck.Most graphic designers think guilt is a good thing. That it keeps them humble. Grateful. Grounded.Designer guilt is quietly limiting careers. It shows up when you enjoy your work, when you want more money, when you like your office, your lifestyle, or your success. And instead of owning that progress, many designers apologize for it.They play small. They stop pushing. They convince themselves that wanting more somehow makes them selfish.In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we talk about the designer guilt nobody really talks about. Not guilt from doing bad work, but guilt from having a great job, a creative career, and the ambition to want more from it.This isn't about ego. And it's definitely not about hustle culture.It's about recognizing how guilt, comfort, and fear quietly cap your growth as a graphic designer.In this episode, you'll discover:Why graphic designers feel guilty about success, stability, and enjoying their workHow designer guilt quietly limits income, growth, and long-term career opportunitiesWhat it takes to stop apologizing for ambition and start owning the career you have earnedThis episode is a reality check for graphic designers who feel conflicted about success, uncomfortable wanting more, or stuck between gratitude and growth. If you want a sustainable graphic design career without guilt, self-sabotage, or playing small, this conversation will hit close to home.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

Luxury isn't louder. It's calmer, quieter, and more confident. In this episode, Rebecca shares what she learned designing a home that sold for over $12 million and working for luxury designer Steven Taylor for five years. This isn't about expensive finishes. It's about premium service, trust, leadership, and building a process that makes clients feel taken care of. Rebecca also reflects on Steven's passing in late 2025 and the lasting business lessons he left behind. Episode Highlights: Why luxury is really about service How premium clients think (and what they don't care about) Why "trust is the currency" in high-end design What to stop over-explaining in presentations How a team makes you look more professional The mindset shift that helps you level up your clientele   What's one small change you could make to level up your service this month? A better process, a part-time hire, clearer boundaries, or simply going the extra mile in how cared for your clients feel?   Resources: Looking for a place to start the podcast?

Most designers think they need more content, more platforms, or more exposure to grow. That is not the problem. The real issue is misalignment. I see so many talented designers working nonstop and still struggling with unpredictable income. In this episode, I break down the only three marketing activities that actually grow a design business and why everything else is just noise. If you are a freelance designer or a brand and web designer trying to figure out how to get graphic design clients without burning out, this will give you clarity. This is about building trust, creating momentum, and thinking like a creative CEO instead of chasing tactics.You will learn:Why most marketing advice keeps design business owners stuckHow positioning driven content attracts better clientsWhat relationship based visibility really looks likeWhy conversion assets matter more than posting moreHow these three activities work together to compound growthGrab a cup of coffee, your notes, and get ready to rethink how you market your design business.Aventive Academy's Resources:Fully Booked Designer (6-week biz program) : ⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/fullybookeddesigner/⁠⁠From Crickets to Clients: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/crickets-to-clients/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Client Portal for Designers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/client-portal/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Wealthy Client Blueprint: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/wealthy-client/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brand Guidelines Template: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/brand-guidelines/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Creative CEO Accelerator: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/accelerator⁠⁠⁠⁠

On today's show, we're chatting with Hannah Englehart, a vintage dealer in Minneapolis at Olio Vintage, and the creator and designer of a new upcycled clothing line, Soft Jaws, which she just launched. Hannah's journey into vintage started with thrifting with her grandma in Ohio, and hunting for treasures in Amish country antique stores. After working at Plato's Closet as a teen, and selling vintage on Depop part-time for three years while grinding through corporate jobs, Hannah took a leap– she saved up six months of living expenses and moved to Minneapolis to sell vintage full-time. Within 72 hours of arriving in town, she was set up at the Minneapolis Vintage Market, meeting the community that would become her creative collaborators and her vintage people. Now she's part of the Olio Vintage collective, where she's found the stability and support to expand into styling and design. She worked as wardrobe stylist on indie films, and – after teaching herself to sew on YouTube – she's just launched Soft Jaws – a clothing line featuring reversible tie-front blouses made from vintage linens and reclaimed textiles. We talk about the collective model that allows vintage dealers to support each other, her holy grail finds, and why she's auctioning a rare Bonnie Cashin bag to support Immigrant Law Center Minnesota. This conversation is all about finding your people, building community, and creating something meaningful, and I think you'll really enjoy it – so let's dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [5:01] Thrifting with her grandma in middle school in the suburbs of Ohio. [7:53] Working at Plato's Closet as a teenager [10:07] When Hannah knew she wanted to work in vintage, styling for her friend's photography projects validated that path [12:31] Meeting the founders of Olio Vintage at a local market and becoming one of their first guest vendors [13:47] Why Hannah is a big believer in the vintage collective model and how transparency benefits everyone [15:23] How she knew it was the right time to dive into selling vintage full-time after squirreling away six months of living expenses [19:05] What makes the Minneapolis vintage scene so special  [22:02] How Minneapolis vintage dealers are responding to the ICE occupation [25:22] Burning out in her second year of selling full-time and how she restructured her time to make space for styling and design [28:34] Teaching herself to sew on YouTube and spending a year perfecting her first pattern for Soft Jaws [37:08] Advice for aspiring vintage sellers - don't let the "oversaturated" narratives discourage you [38:33] On personal style, treating winter as a "fashion assignment," and her holy grail finds.  EPISODE MENTIONS:  Lobster Garden Vintage Soft Jaws Olio Vintage Immigrant Law Center Minnesota Woman Land Film Minneapolis Vintage Market  Carrie Martinson, founder of Olio  Pre-Loved's 2025 Vintage Dealer Income Survey Results Why Vintage Dealers in Collectives Earn More How Minneapolis Vintage Dealers Responded to ICE Occupation Moth Oddities Little Dipper  Oubliette Leah - LJN Pictures The Standard Market - March 7 LET'S CONNECT:

Send a textMost post-frame buyers start on their phones. If your sales flow doesn't, you're already behind. We brought Dan and Norma from Idea Room into the studio to show how a mobile 3D configurator pairs with SmartBuild to capture better leads, price faster, and close more barn, shop, and barndominium projects without adding headcount.We start with the buyer journey: predefined styles that snap a basic shell into a premium farm build or wraparound design in one tap. Clean visuals, fast loads, and simple controls keep users engaged long enough to hit submit. That single click does the heavy lifting—contact info, site ZIP for tax and delivery, notes—and then spins up a SmartBuild job automatically. Your team opens it to find precise materials, cut lists, and assembly drawings aligned to supplier catalogs, trimming errors and waste while turning “rough price?” into a real number in minutes.The integration now runs both ways. Sales View pulls the SmartBuild job total back into Idea Room, and with a manual refresh you can sync new edits after changing doors, leans, or structure. Reps manage leads on mobile with click-to-call and status updates, while one SmartBuild specialist dials in the details for accuracy and margin. Setup is fast—mapping colors, doors, windows, and trusses takes minutes when supplier data matches—and branding the configurator on your site builds your pipeline under your logo.We also preview features for complex use cases: interior and divider walls, mezzanines with stairs and railings, and barndominium layouts that feel less like a gamble and more like a guided path to a buildable plan. If you're running SmartBuild today, this is the turbo your process needs; if you're not, you'll see why dealers and builders are adopting the stack for speed, precision, and a better buyer experience.Ready to see it live?

Alright, folks, grab your headphones and settle in because we're diving deep into the wild world of home improvement with the fabulous Wendy Glaister from Wendy Glaister Interiors. We're chatting about the oh-so-important dance between contractors and designers and how they can work together to keep projects running smoother than a freshly waxed floor. Spoiler alert: it turns out communication is the unsung hero here, because if you don't talk it out, you might as well be playing a game of telephone with a bunch of toddlers. We'll tackle the chaos that can come from not having everyone on the same page, and trust me, you don't want your renovation saga ending up on a reality TV show for all the wrong reasons. So kick back, relax, and let's figure out how to keep the drama on the stage and out of your home! When it comes to home improvement, the dynamic between contractors, designers, and homeowners can often resemble a high-stakes game of Jenga: one wrong move, and everything comes crashing down. Eric G and John Dudley, your friendly neighborhood home improvement gurus, sit down with the ever-charismatic Wendy Glaister of Wendy Glaister Interiors to unravel this chaotic relationship. They dive into the art of collaboration—how to transform that potential Jenga tower into a well-oiled machine. Spoiler alert: it's all about communication and mutual respect. Wendy shares her wisdom on getting everyone on the same page from the get-go. Because let's be honest, starting off on the wrong foot can lead to a project that ends up on the next episode of ‘Worse Renovations Ever'—and nobody wants that. In this lively banter, the trio discusses the importance of setting expectations and building a rapport between the homeowner, designer, and contractor. Wendy emphasizes the need to park egos at the door—because nothing says ‘disaster' like a clash of creative visions. As they explore the intricate dance of design and construction, they also highlight the absurdity of how often these roles become adversarial rather than collaborative. You'll hear tales of past projects that went south and learn how to avoid being the unsuspecting homeowner caught in the crossfire. This episode is packed with tips, humor, and real talk about the remodeling jungle, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to dive into a home project with their sanity intact.Takeaways:Designers and contractors must work together from the project's start for smooth sailing.Communication is key; homeowners need to voice concerns immediately to avoid issues later.The 'superhero complex' can derail projects; collaboration is better than competition.Ego can ruin great designs; mutual respect among team members is essential.Hiring a designer and a contractor simultaneously can prevent costly mistakes down the line.Setting expectations and creating a friendly environment fosters creativity and problem-solving.Thanks for listening to Around the house if you want to hear more please subscribe so you get notified of the latest episode as it posts at https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/listenIf you want to join the Around the House Insider for access to the back catalog, Exclusive Content and a direct email to Eric G and access to the show early

My guest today is Jamie Metzl—a former national security official, biotech futurist, and one of the earliest public voices to argue that Covid likely came from a lab accident. We talk about why that possibility became taboo; what gain-of-function research gets wrong; and how fear and politics distort scientific judgment. From there, we move into the future of gene editing, embryo selection, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and artificial intelligence (AI)—what's actually coming, what people misunderstand, and why the hardest questions ahead of us aren't likely technical, but moral. https://jamiemetzl.com/human-genetic-engineering-and-the-catholic-church/ Learn more about your ad choices.
