Hey y'all, welcome back to Design for the Creative Mind — the podcast where we dive into the business side of interior design with strategy, heart, and zero fluff. Today's episode is a big one because I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look at some major changes we've been cooking up. I'm thrilled to share that my coaching platform has officially rebranded! While the podcast will keep its name (Design for the Creative Mind), everything else now lives under a new and very on-theme umbrella: The Design Bakehouse. Why the Change? If you've been around for a while, you know that Design for the Creative Mind wasn't just a podcast — it was also the name of my entire coaching business. But as things have grown and evolved (just like your design business!), it became clear that we'd outgrown that structure. Our community has expanded, our content has deepened, and we're now supporting designers at every stage — from launching to scaling past six figures. It was time for a brand that reflected the power of this work. Introducing: The Design Bakehouse Yes, I went all in on the baking theme — you know I love a good theme!

It's a curated preview of what The Bakehouse has to offer, and you can grab it at thedesignbakehouse.com. Why The Bakehouse? A bakehouse isn't just where bread is made. It's where craftsmanship meets mastery, where recipes are refined, and where the best in the business perfect their skills. That's exactly the kind of environment we're creating — but instead of flour and sugar, we're working with strategy, sales, and systems to help interior designers build profitable, sustainable, and fulfilling businesses. So my question for you is: Are you ready to rise? Whether you're brand new or fully booked, if you're craving structure, support, and a plan that actually works, The Bakehouse was baked just for you.

Join Richard in this week's episode as he shares the latest from his allotment—detailing innovative mulching techniques and smart watering solutions to keep his garden thriving—plus Chef Scott is back in the kitchen with a mouth-watering recipe: Olive Oil Braised Runner Beans. Allotment Update: Mulching Richard takes us through the evolving challenges at his allotment. What was once a peaceful field has transformed with increased road noise from a new bypass. Even so, his passion for growing food and adapting his techniques remains strong. Here's what he's been up to: Embracing Change: Once a quiet haven with open fields (and even horses), the allotment now experiences constant traffic noise. Despite this, Richard remains committed to his gardening methods, adjusting on the fly as the environment changes. Mulching Magic: Mulching is key to a healthy garden. Richard explains how he's refined his approach: Moisture Retention: A solid layer of mulch locks in water, which is especially important during long spells without rain. Weed Suppression: Proper mulching helps prevent weeds from sprouting, making garden maintenance much easier. Soil Enrichment: Whether it's nutrient‑rich compost, grass clippings, or cost‑effective straw (ideal for his potato beds), these materials break down to nourish the soil over time. Kitchen Garden Update: Irrigation With no rain since February, Richard is making every drop count: Rainwater Harvesting: He's set up 16 water butts around the allotment, prioritizing those attached to downpipes that refill quickly during showers. Automated Irrigation Systems: In the greenhouse, his AutoPot system ensures that aubergines, strawberries, cucumbers, and other crops receive consistent hydration. AutoPot Systems Vegepod & Quick Hose Connectors: For his raised beds, Richard has introduced an automated sprinkler system. With secure “wing” quick hose connectors and a timed 15‑minute morning mist, he's streamlined the watering process and minimized hassle. Vegepod Raised Beds Quick Hose Connectors By combining these smart mulching and watering strategies, Richard is successfully adapting to a busier landscape—and ensuring that his garden stays lush and bountiful regardless of the weather. Chef Scott's Recipe of the Week Chef Scott delivers a recipe that transforms humble produce into a gourmet delight. This week's dish is Olive Oil Braised Runner Beans, a recipe inspired by fresh harvests and designed to brighten up any meal. What to expect from the recipe: The Dish: Chef Scott's method turns runner beans into a standout plate by slow-cooking them with complementary ingredients, creating a blend of flavors that is both hearty and refined. Key Ingredients & Process: Ingredients: Runner beans (trimmed and ready), cherry tomatoes, cooked butter beans, sliced white onion, garlic, green olives, olive oil, water, lemon juice, and crumbled feta cheese. Method Snapshot: Gently cook chopped onion and garlic in olive oil until softened. Add runner beans, olives, and tomatoes along with water, then gently simmer. Introduce the butter beans and continue the slow cook until the beans soften yet retain their shape. Finish the dish with a squeeze of lemon juice, seasoning, and a generous crumble of feta that ties it all together. Don't forget to follow Chef Scott on Instagram. Final Thoughts & How to Support the Podcast Gardening is all about adapting, experimenting, and finding what works best for you—even when change is constant.

Market research can make a huge difference in your product offering and launch strategy, but bad data can be worse than no data at all according to my guest, Lara Fordis. In this episode, Lara returns to discuss how market research has evolved in the CPG industry over the past four years, particularly with the emergence of AI tools that have made research both more accessible and potentially misleading. Lara shares insights on how entrepreneurs can properly validate their product ideas beyond the "echo chamber" of friends and family, highlighting the importance of getting feedback from representative target audiences who will actually pay for your product. We learn about the benefits of in-home use testing (IHUT), how to avoid common survey pitfalls like double-barreled questions, and why understanding your product's unique differentiation is crucial for success. Whether you're launching a new food product or scaling your existing brand, this conversation provides valuable perspectives on gathering meaningful consumer insights that can save you from costly mistakes and help you develop a viable market proposition.Find out more info about Lara's work and new course at http://fordisconsulting.com or email her at lara@fordisconsulting.comStop the endless research and overwhelm!

Welcome back to the second part of the Aevum Labs Series on Immune Health! In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Elizabeth Yurth, founder of the Boulder Longevity Institute, to explore the fascinating world of immunosenescence—the ageing of the immune system—and its connection to inflammaging, chronic inflammation that accelerates aging. Dr. Yurth explains how the decline of our immune system not only affects our resilience to infections but also plays a pivotal role in the development of chronic diseases, neurodegeneration, and overall cellular decline. We dive into how gut health, immune health, and cellular health are deeply interconnected, with 70–80% of our immune system residing in and around the gut. Learn how chronic systemic inflammation and gut permeability can break down your immune defenses and how you can turn back the clock on immune ageing. We also introduce our exciting new product developed in conjunction with Dr Yurth as a scientific advisor, from Aevum Labs—Rejuvenate—which is specifically designed to target immune decline, support cellular health, and reduce chronic inflammation. Dr. Yurth explains how the ingredients in Rejuvenate help restore immune vitality, protect brain health, and improve gut barrier integrity. Key Topics Discussed: What is immunosenescence? Understanding how and why our immune system declines with age. The link between chronic systemic inflammation (inflammaging) and ageing—why targeting inflammation is essential for longevity. The gut-immune connection: Why 70–80% of your immune system resides in the gut and how gut health affects brain health and systemic inflammation.
