Fresh off the heels of Bravocon, Casey & Danielle have lived to tell about it. They were blessed to have hosted the Salt Lake City panel, and among other surreal delights they found Mary Cosby normal, were let down by Jesse Lalley, basked in the glow of a long hang with Craig and Casey was somehow the first person Vicky saw after receiving her surprise orange. Which made up for the fact that Luann yelled at Casey. Enjoy!To listen to the rest of this episode head on over to https://caseyanddaniellesgarbageworld.com where we now have video!

"Follow your passion. Master your mindset. Monetize doing what you love."  Living your passion begins with self-awareness and courage—the willingness to question whether the life you're living is truly yours or one built on others' expectations. Passion isn't something you stumble upon; it's something you uncover by aligning your work, purpose, and daily choices with what fuels your heart. True joy emerges when you stop living in "shoulds" and start listening to your inner compass—transforming fear and limitation into clarity and flow.  LuAnn Buechler reveals how saying "yes" to opportunity became the defining habit that changed her life. From a 15-year career in hospitality to working with Dr. Ivan Misner and the Transformational Leadership Council, LuAnn's story is proof that life rewards aligned action. Her philosophy, "Work in your flame, not in your wax," encourages people to create lives centered on purpose. Through tools like The Passion Test and mindfulness practices, she helps clients shift from survival to joy.  LuAnn is a certified Passion Test facilitator, business coach, and long-time member of Jack Canfield's Transformational Leadership Council. She is also president of The Coach Initiative, a nonprofit connecting volunteer coaches with organizations in need. Her mission: to help individuals and businesses uncover their core values, lead with purpose, and live passionately.  Expert action steps:  1. Follow your passion.  2. Master your mindset.  3. Monetize doing what you love.  Learn more & connect:  • Go to www.luannb.com for your free 30 minute consultation.  • Take your nonprofit organization to the next level: Coaching for Nonprofits, it's leaders and volunteers @ www.thecoachinitiative.org.  Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level.

Andy Cohen has revealed a lot over the past week. From John Mayer to behind the scenes Housewife gossip tea to his love life to retirement, one thing is for sure, there are a few things that he still seems a little in denial over. Okay, maybe a lot in denial over regarding a few of our fav and some not so fav Real Housewives. Carole and Luann reconcile and blame Bethenny for everything. Regarding Bethenny's clap back….. Rumors, not nastiness, surface that Ariana Madix is close to getting engaged. Heather Gay F'cked Captain Jason. Erika Jayne comes for Meredith Marks. Teri Hatcher demands Andy pay the creator of Desperate Housewives. As we near BravoCon many possible hook ups across franchises move closer to happening. Last, but not least, Lisa Barlow claps back at Angie K and comes forward with a whole slew of receipts.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Today on Window Treatments for Profit If you're scaling your window treatment business past $2 million or if you're on your way there, it's time to get serious about how you're building. In this episode, LuAnn breaks down the two proven business models that successful window treatment CEOs use to scale profitably. One focuses on high volume and broad reach. The other on depth, high margins, and fewer clients. Both models work. Both can generate millions. But the key is knowing which one you are building and aligning every decision around it. If you're feeling stretched thin, wondering where the profit is, or just starting to grow and want to build with clarity, this episode will give you the framework—and the focus—you need.

Kempire steps back Behind The Rope.  Picking up right where we left off, Kempire discusses Luann's recent claims that RHONJ is filming, addresses the fact that Teresa says it is not and breaks down the rumors, not nastiness, that production is still testing newbies with Marge, Dolo and Mel. Meanwhile, Teresa, and her TreHuggers, finally seem to be accepting Tre's ill fated future. Speaking of test shooting, Andy Cohen makes new statements about RHONY's future, newbies are rumored to be close to signing on the dotted line and we break down what to expect when RHONY finally eventually returns, maybe, next year. Over in RHOBH land, Kathy Hilton inadvertently spilled the tea about a new cast showdown between two fan favs, Rachel Zoe and Amanda Frances came prepared and Bozoma Saint John may be preparing for her exit sooner than we think. Of course, Kemp also chats all the shocking ups and downs in Denise's divorce including her recent house of horrors, 15 dogs and the Charlie Sheen of it all. Finally, Kemp offers helpful advice for future Housewife hopefuls, shares what most Housewives do wrong and finally answers the question, where do all of the franchises, and Bravo, go from here as we look forward to the future.  @thekempire @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) DUPE- dupe.com (Type dupe.com Forward Slash Before Any Product URL In Your Browser To Instantly Finds Less Expensive Alternatives) HUNGRYROOT - hungryroot.com/VELVET (Use Code VELVET For 40% Off Your First Box & a Free Item In Every Box For Life Of The Worlds Best Meal Delivery Service) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) JUANES  - (Check Out Juanes' New Song “Cuando Estamos Tu y Yo”) WAYFAIR - Wayfair.com (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

A lot of creatives think we are doomed to a life without systems because that's not our natural inclination. Our business is "us," which makes it difficult to scale. I know that I personally have trouble making the connection between who I am as a photographer and my branding. Whether or not systems come easily to you, it's time to put on our "big-boy pants." All businesses need to revisit the fundamentals of mission statements, values, systems, and customers. You have to believe in your business and your ability to run it. Yes, it's all Business 101, but it works. To remind us of the basics of a successful business, I've brought on podcast host, speaker and interior designer LuAnn Nigara. LuAnn co-owns, with her husband Vince and cousin Bill, Window Works in Livingston NJ. It is a 10-person firm, specializing in window treatments and awnings, with annual sales of 2 million+, and have serviced more than 25,000 clients since opening in 1982. LuAnn is also the host of the #1, 5-star rated, interior design business podcast, A Well-Designed Business.

THE STAND UP WARRIOR "Your ideal customer is like your favorite pair of jeans" -LuAnn Nigara Highlights - The best sale on the planet is a win-win. Carefully think about the intersection of confidence, goals, and a plan. If a car's goal is to have four wheels, they all have to go in the same direction. To grow your company, you need to have non-negotiable values you teach your employees. The customer isn't always right, but what you do want is an advocate for your company. When you can turn a negative customer into a happy one, that is your best advocate. They've seen the fulfillment of your marketing promise. Be a "systems freak." Dream, visualize, and intend.
