As we near Christmas and the end of the year at the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I find myself reflecting on the inspiring projects I've worked on with my clients throughout 2025. In this episode, I share stories about reconnecting with past clients, including a woman who has transformed her life and home, and a couple creating a functional farmhouse in upstate New York that balances modern needs with the charm of an older home. I also discuss a long-term client who transitioned from a mid-century modern home in California to a new build in New Jersey, and a pediatrician in Dobbs Ferry whose practice reflects the local community. I encourage listeners to share their own projects and inspirations, and remind everyone about our last-minute gift opportunities, including my online class bundle for interior design enthusiasts. As I take a brief hiatus for the holidays, I look forward to returning in 2026 with new episodes and fresh goals for the upcoming year.

In this episode of LiberatED, Kerry McDonald speaks with Talon and Travis Holleman, co-founders of Roots Farm and Forest School in Delaware. What began as a small homeschool co-op during the pandemic has grown into a thriving, nature-based learning ecosystem serving more than 1,000 students through microschool programs, homeschool enrichment, after-school offerings, and seasonal camps. Talon and Travis share their personal journey from successful corporate careers into homeschooling, and why outdoor, play-based, and community-centered education felt like the right path for their family. They walk listeners through the evolution of Roots—from deschooling their own children, to transforming a homestead into a permaculture learning space, to building a financially sustainable microschool inspired by Waldorf, Montessori, and Reggio Emilia philosophies. The conversation also explores the realities of running a school as a family business, supporting children's social-emotional growth, and planning for the future with hopes to expand into middle and high school programs. This episode is a powerful reminder that education entrepreneurship isn't just about building schools—it's about building lives rooted in purpose, connection, and joy. *** Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.

End chaos in your firm—300+ peers use this framework.

Host Enoch Sears digs into how Drew balances creativity and business, and what most architects get very wrong about profit. They talk about staying aligned without an office, building strong partnerships, and what it really means to run a "conscious" firm. This conversation is honest, bold, and full of unexpected lessons for any architect ready to stop playing small.

Be the FIRST to know about my private Mastermind Group: https://johnbunn.myflodesk.com/mentorship In this episode of the Shifting Focus Podcast, I sit down with wedding photographer and educator Summer Grace to talk about burnout, sustainability, and what it actually takes to build a business that lasts. Summer shares how she transitioned from elopements to larger weddings, how COVID reshaped her priorities, and the role social media played in her early growth. We talk about designing intentional client experiences, why her engagement sessions are built differently, and how in person connection continues to matter in an increasingly online industry. We also dive into Summer School, the educational side of her brand, and how she is building community and long term support for photographers through education and shared experience. This conversation is about choosing longevity over pressure, creativity over constant growth, and building a wedding business that supports your life instead of consuming it. If you are feeling stretched thin, creatively drained, or questioning the pace of your business, this episode offers a clear look at what another path can look like.   Summer Grace Website https://summergracephoto.com/  Summer Grace Instagram https://www.instagram.com/summergrace.photo/  Summer School Education https://www.instagram.com/the_summerschool/  Summer Grace Podcast https://summergracephoto.com/podcast-shownotes

Designing for television isn't just about building sets — it's about knowing when to preserve them, when to break them, and how to let them evolve over time. On Slow Horses, that long view shapes every creative decision. This week on Below the Line, Skid is joined by Production Designer Choi Ho Man, with Gianni Damaia returning as co-host, to talk about the fifth season of Slow Horses, the Apple TV+ espionage series starring Gary Oldman. Choi traces her journey on the show from supervising art director to production designer, and how designing across multiple seasons requires long-term thinking, flexibility, and restraint. We take a deep dive into: How Slow Horses was designed as a rolling, multi-season project, shooting in pairs of seasons with overlapping crews and compressed turnaround times The evolution of Slough House itself, including how destruction at the end of Season Four informed the repaired, modernized, and slightly haunted version seen in Season Five Designing spaces that reflect character psychology, from Lamb's office to Ho's flat Building and rebuilding modular sets — lifts, car parks, corridors, offices — to stretch resources while preserving visual continuity Developing MI5 Headquarters (“The Park”) as a recurring environment, mapping unseen spaces to make the building feel architecturally complete Stitching together complex action sequences from multiple locations and stage builds, including chase scenes, stairwells, and exterior-to-interior transitions How practical construction, visual effects, and stunt coordination intersect on large-scale action sequences involving paint, height, and confined spaces Why face-to-face collaboration still matters, including sketches, models, and conversations that can't be replaced by emails or message threads Across five seasons, Slow Horses proves that production design isn't just about creating spaces — it's about letting those spaces absorb history, pressure, and consequence, until the environment itself becomes part of the story.

Episode Overview In this episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John Kitchens and Joel Perso close out the Agent to CEO six-part series by unpacking the final and most critical milestone: The Leadership Flywheel. This conversation is all about building a self-managing, self-sustaining team—one that doesn't rely on you as the bottleneck. John and Joel break down how elite leaders design lean organizational structures, recruit true A-players, and create leadership development systems that generate momentum instead of burnout. If you've ever felt trapped by your team, overwhelmed by people decisions, or unsure how to scale without chaos, this episode delivers the blueprint for moving from operator to architect—and leading at the CEO level. Key Topics Covered The Leadership Flywheel Explained What a flywheel really is—and why leadership must create momentum, not friction Why teams fail when leadership systems aren't intentional How leaders move from "doing" to designing the business Designing a Lean, Modern Org Structure Using the Functional Accountability Chart (FAC) to separate people from roles Why you must define functions before hiring humans How AI-first thinking reshapes org design and eliminates unnecessary roles A-Players, Defined What an A-player actually is (and what they are not) Why "job done 90% of the time within the pay range" is the real standard How resourcefulness separates high performers from everyone else AI, VAs, and Fractional Talent The correct order: AI → VAs → Fractional → Full-time Why hiring out of pain creates long-term damage How modern leaders raise the talent ceiling while lowering overhead Scorecards, Agreements, and Ownership Why expectations fail—and agreements win How data-driven scorecards eliminate ambiguity Creating clear ownership so leaders stop rescuing their team Leadership Development That Scales Why leadership isn't just for managers—it's for everyone Creating micro-leadership opportunities inside your organization The power of daily wins, public accountability, and cultural ownership Preventing Burnout in A-Players Why C-players burn out A-players faster than workload How to identify when roles need to split before performance drops Monitoring hours, opportunity alignment, and growth paths Resources & Mentions The Agent to CEO Framework Functional Accountability Chart (FAC) Honey Badger Nation John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Concepts from Jim Collins, Patrick Lencioni, David Marquet Final Takeaway You don't scale by hiring more people—you scale by designing better leadership systems. The Leadership Flywheel isn't about control. It's about clarity, ownership, and momentum. When leaders design the structure, recruit intentionally, and develop leadership at every level, the business stops relying on them—and starts growing without them. "You can't build a self-sustaining business without developing leaders. That's the flywheel." – John Kitchens Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

Send us a textToday's guest embodies curiosity, clarity, and an unapologetically joyful approach to living. Jamie Lerner describes herself as having been “born with a knowing”—a deep inner sense of who she came here to become. Encouraged from childhood to follow every spark of curiosity, she stepped into life with what she calls “wild abandonment,” choosing the road less traveled and allowing her inner being to guide her every step of the way.She is a psychotherapist and an author, who has traveled the world exploring diverse healing modalities and embraced beauty, pleasure, and joy as essential parts of everyday living. And she continues to meet life with enthusiasm, presence, and a remarkable sense of alignment.Jamie brings this same spirit to her work, offering integrative well-being sessions designed to help people reconnect with themselves and quickly reframe their thoughts and feelings.In today's conversation, we explore the wisdom, the contrast, and the joyful self-creation that have shaped Jamie's path—and how her approach can help each of us reconnect with our own inner knowing and truly experience what self-love really means.

Cindy Gallop is a brand and business innovator, consultant, coach, and keynote speaker who helps leaders and organizations change the game in their industries. Known for her radical, no-status-quo approach to business transformation, she's unapologetically bold — "I like to blow shit up. I am the Michael Bay of business." She empowers people and companies to own the future — to become the leaders they want to be, build the businesses they envision, and create truly inclusive, gender-equal workplaces. Cindy believes adversity breeds opportunity and that today's breakdowns create space for the boldest new ideas to emerge. As a consultant, coach, and diversity advocate, Cindy works with forward-thinking brands and leaders ready to reinvent themselves, driving transformative growth through fearless creativity and strategic innovation — helping them blow up what's broken and build what's next. During the show we discuss: What it really means to disrupt business responsibly and rebuild what's broken Designing future-ready companies rooted in trust and innovation Turning crisis, disruption, and fear into growth opportunities Why trust-driven leadership outperforms control-based cultures Building inclusion, equality, and diversity directly into the profit model Shifting from surface-level D&I efforts to systems that drive real change Lessons from working with iconic global brands and building taboo-breaking companies The mindset shift required to blow up the old and build what's next Resources: https://cindygallop.com/  

Not all clients are created equal—and some quietly drain your firm's time, energy, and profits.

About VlaadaVlaada Chvátil is one of the most influential game designers of the modern era. As the creative force behind classics like Through the Ages, Codenames, and Galaxy Trucker, and a co-founder of Czech Games Edition (CGE), he's built a career defined by curiosity, craft, and an uncompromising commitment to making games he actually wants to play. Vlaada's path—from programming and digital game development to shaping some of the most enduring tabletop designs of the last 20 years—has given him a rare perspective on iteration, collaboration, and long-term creative sustainability. In this episode, we explore how he chooses projects, why great development beats marketing every time, and how designing for joy has fueled both his games and his company.Ah-Ha MomentsWe Sell Games So We Can Make Games: Vlaada reframes the entire business of game design. The purpose of publishing is to fund the next act of creation, not to chase sales targets. This mindset frees designers to make bolder, more honest games, because success is measured by creative momentum, not quarterly performance.The Best Marketing Is Ruthless Investment in Development: CGE spent its early years with no marketing team at all, because they didn't need one. Vlaada's long-term strategy is simple and difficult: invest heavily in development and let quality do the work. Great games create their own momentum. Word of mouth, sustained sales growth, and long tails are the natural result of excellence.The Golden Rule of Collaborative Design: When collaborators disagree, Vlaada avoids persuasion entirely. Instead of fighting to prove one idea right and the other wrong, the goal is to find a third solution neither person originally proposed, but that both genuinely like. This reframes disagreement as a creative engine, not a conflict, and almost always leads to stronger, more resilient designs. This is a public episode.

In 2012, Daniella Kallmeyer began her eponymous brand with $7,000 and a goal to create a line of elevated wardrobe staples. Fifteen years later, her ethos remains the same and she's getting her flowers for the brand she's built—in fact, this year Kallmeyer was nominated for Womenswear Designer of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America. On this episode, Daniella discusses bootstrapping her brand, what it was like in the room at the CFDA awards (hint: Rihanna was sitting next to her), and why she credits so much of her scrappiness to her time spent ghost-designing for QVC.

I sat down with Michelle Londoño, a woman who embodies courage, innovation, and compassion.Michelle shares the raw truth of what it means to seek her way to grow. Her unstoppable latino family could not guide her but yes had the encouragement that stated " You Can do it". With no manual in a country that provides many opportunities navigating was with uncertainty, cultural shifts, and the quiet pressure of being the first to figure things out. Her journey reflects the reality of so many immigrants who must build their path while walking it.Beyond her personal story, Michelle is also a humanitarian, nurse and a technology professional based in San Francisco, using her voice, skills, and influence to serve others and create meaningful impact. This conversation weaves together humanity, strategy, resilience, and purpose reminding us that progress is not only about success, but about how we carry others along the way. This episode is for those who are:    •    Building life without a manual    •    Leading with heart in unfamiliar territory   •    Designing their future while still discovering themselvesDesigning Humanity is not about perfection it's about becoming. She vibrates to latino bomba music.

Sure, design might be going through a tough period...But as the saying goes, "never waste a good crisis."So this moment of uncertainty, where everyone is wondering if (or rather when) AI will take over their job, might actually be our biggest opportunity to rise up.It is a unique chance to reclaim our core focus of designing services that genuinely improve people's lives, rather than just extracting value to maximize shareholder returns.Of course to discuss an existential topic like this we had to find someone who's been around the block for some time. And boy did we find someone!For this episode we sit down with the legendary Dan Saffer to chat about what we can learn from the last two decades of design evolution.We try to wrap our heads around what caused the erosion of strategic design from its heyday, which, frankly, wasn't even that long ago.We look into how we somehow got identified with the outputs, like running workshops or creating interfaces in Figma, rather than the outcomes. And more importantly, what we can do to prevent that from happening again, whether that's with journey management or crafting smart prompts.And finally we also tackle the big question of why design isn't having a greater influence on the current wave of AI, and how we can change that.So bring your cassette player for this one, because we're going back in time for some nostalgia and a healthy dose of hope.Enjoy the conversation and keep making a positive impact!~ Marc--- [ 1.

In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, Maurice Bloem is joined by Lorenz Sell, co-founder of Sutra, for a reflective conversation about humility, receiving, and what it means to create spaces—both digital and human—where genuine connection can emerge.   Lorenz shares how experiences such as Burning Man became unexpected teachers in his life, challenging deeply ingrained habits of control, self-sufficiency, and productivity. In those liminal spaces, where usual social scripts fall away, he began to notice how difficult it can be—not to give, but to receive. Receiving attention, support, care, and presence requires a different posture: one rooted in humility.   The conversation weaves together Lorenz's background in technology and engineering with his growing attention to inner development and relational practice. Rather than seeing technology as neutral or inevitable, he reflects on how digital environments quietly shape our behavior, our pace, and our ability to listen to one another. Designing spaces, he suggests, is always also designing relationships.   Throughout the episode, humility is not framed as self-effacement, but as openness: a willingness to be changed by others and by experience. Receiving becomes an active practice—one that makes mutuality possible and allows communities of learning to form over time.   This conversation is an invitation to slow down, to notice where we resist receiving, and to consider how the spaces we create—online and offline—can support deeper presence, trust, and shared becoming. And it also reminded me that receiving is not something we do once we understand—it's something we practice by listening a little longer.   Listener Engagement: Discover the songs picked by Lorenz and other guests on our #walktalklisten here.

I can figure out a way.Momentum Coffee is more than just a place to grab your morning latte. Co-founded by Nikki Bravo, the Chicago-based coffee shop chain is building something bigger than beverages—it's creating intentional spaces for connection, growth, and community impact in underserved neighborhoods.As Nikki explains, “Momentum Coffee isn't just about business. Mission is at the core. We wouldn't be doing this just to make money. This really is about the communities and how we serve them.” From offering high-quality coffee and tea to creating jobs that keep dollars circulating locally, every decision at Momentum Coffee is rooted in purpose.What sets Momentum apart is its deliberate focus on under-resourced areas. Nikki and her husband, Tracy Powell, are careful about where they open locations and how they engage with the community. “Spaces in under-resourced areas need places where people can convene and be together,” Nikki says. “Momentum Coffee is able to do all of those things.”Beyond the café experience, Momentum Coffee is actively shaping people's lives. Nikki shared the story of an employee—a single mother of two—who, after working at Momentum for two years, became a first-time homeowner. “What we see here, what we're growing here at Momentum Coffee, is a lot of possibility,” Nikki says.In addition to its community-driven mission, Momentum Coffee recently launched a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign through Honeycomb Credit. This initiative invites supporters from across the country to invest in the company, helping it expand its impact while offering a financial return. “Through crowdfunding, it allows us not only to grow so that we impact more people, but have more people do that with us,” Nikki explains.Momentum Coffee's power-button logo symbolizes action and empowerment, perfectly reflecting its mission. With four locations and counting, Nikki and Tracy are proving that a coffee shop can do far more than serve drinks—it can create opportunities, empower individuals, and build stronger communities.By supporting their crowdfunding campaign, investors can help Momentum Coffee continue its inspiring work while becoming part of the journey.tl;dr:Momentum Coffee builds community in underserved neighborhoods by creating intentional spaces for connection.Nikki Bravo's team uses crowdfunding to expand while engaging and empowering their community.The coffee shop chain provides jobs that help employees achieve life-changing milestones like homeownership.Nikki's superpower—focusing on actionable solutions—enabled Momentum Coffee to thrive during the pandemic.This episode highlights how mission-driven businesses can create impact while remaining financially sustainable.How to Develop Focusing on What You Can Do As a SuperpowerNikki's superpower is their ability to focus on actionable solutions, no matter the challenge. As Nikki explains, “My superpower is focusing on what I can do. I can figure out a way.” This mindset has been key to navigating obstacles as a business owner, community leader, and parent. Nikki describes this strength as the ability to recognize the situation at hand and then take steps toward a solution.When Nikki and her husband opened a new Momentum Coffee location in early 2020, the pandemic forced the city to shut down just as they were ready to launch. Instead of giving up, Nikki pivoted. “We got an online solution and served coffee and pastries at the front door,” Nikki recalls. This step-by-step approach allowed Momentum to survive the early days of the pandemic and later thrive as a full-service café.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Start by identifying what is within your control and focus your energy there.Break challenges into smaller, manageable steps to avoid feeling overwhelmed.Encourage others to take ownership of problems by asking, “What can you do?”Celebrate small wins to build confidence and momentum.Approach challenges with a solution-oriented mindset rather than dwelling on barriers.By following Nikki's example and advice, you can make focusing on what you can do a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileNikki Bravo (she/her):Co-Founder and CEO, Momentum CoffeeAbout Momentum Coffee: Momentum Coffee is a Chicago-based coffee brand that pairs high-quality coffee service with deep community impact.
