Starting your own firm can be a nervous experience, but the creative freedom it offers can be well worth it. Joining the show this week is an interior designer who draws inspiration from his 25 years of design experience around the globe. After working with multiple internationally renowned design firms he is now on the journey of running his own studio. Welcome to the show, Founder & Creative Director of Pierre & Co Design Studio, Pierre Josselin!Pierre and Dan sit down to discuss Pierre's motivations for starting a business, what excites him most about the design process, and the importance of having strong relationships with others in the industry. Takeaways: Hospitality is a shared passion. Those in the industry have an exciting passion for the work they do. It is a people driven industry with a strong sense of togetherness that is focused on creating relationships. To create great designs, you need to cover every aspect of the project, and understand what it takes to get to the finish line. Avoiding unnecessary handoffs of work results in a higher quality and more consistent project that is completed in less time. As a designer, it's important to understand how your answers affect the rest of the process. A timely response to a client's question not only results in a happier client, but a faster project. A delayed answer delays further steps of the project. The best coworkers you can have are ones that challenge you, but who you can also challenge. Great ideas are not born in a vacuum, and fostering a space that allows for collaboration and feedback will open your eyes to new designs. While going out on your own and starting your own firm can be daunting, it offers many benefits. As you have full control over the intricacies, you have full creative freedom, and the ability to complete work at a faster pace. In the design process, it is important to implement efficiencies wherever you can. Even by getting all the relevant parties in one room for the drawing process and doing instant revisions can shave weeks off of a project. Quote of the Show:“The most successful colleagues you work with are the ones which challenge you, but you challenge as well.” - Pierre JosselinLinks: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pierre-josselin-527b555a/ Website: https://pierreandco.com/ Shout Outs: 04:07 - Taniya Nayak: https://taniyanayak.com/ 06:21 - Small Giants: https://a.co/d/af9MB4P 08:33 - Fairmont Flame Towers: https://www.fairmont.com/baku/ 17:11 - HBA: https://www.hba.com/ 18:51 - Alex Kravetz: https://alexkravetzdesign.com/ 19:07 - Inga Oelschlager: https://www.linkedin.com/in/inga-oelschlager-73640878/ 19:08 - Sayeli Uysal Ayaydin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sayeliu/ 19:09 - Peter Balistrieri: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-balistrieri-44a99aa/ 27:00 - Fairmont Banff Springs: https://www.fairmont.com/banff-springs/ 27:49 - Fairmont Washington DC: https://www.fairmont.com/washington/ 29:22 - The Orient Express 33:11 - Tishman Speyer: https://www.tishmanspeyer.com/ Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPX Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1s Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419
Our guest this week is an interior designer who has become a household name. She's an expert storyteller, creating compelling stories through both her design, and her appearances on screen. She's been frequently featured on HGTV as a host and mentor on “Battle on the Beach” and “Build it forward”. Joining the show this week is Principal and Interior Designer at Taniya Nayak Design, Taniya Nayak!Taniya sits down with Dan to dive into her background as a designer. She covers the ways that bartending helped her refine her design skills, the necessity of designing your spaces for a wide range of guest experiences, and how she got started as a host on HGTV. Takeaways: For Taniya, hospitality means addressing all the small nuances of an experience. It means creating a warm and inviting space where you are thinking about every possible customer scenario. Balancing operations and design is a delicate task as you will often need to choose between prioritizing aesthetics or cost. Ultimately, the choices you make need to revolve around the experience you are trying to create for your guests. Creating an experience your guests want to evangelize is important because a guest's journey begins with a review. Their expectations of your space are set by what they read beforehand, and a bad review can set guests up with a pretense of your space. A quality product is the cornerstone of any successful business, but the presentation around that product determines your success. An ok product with great presentation will outshine a great product with lackluster presentation. As a designer, you need to tell a story that relates to the guests in your establishment. Each element should correlate either functionally or emotionally to the story of why your guest is in that space. As a young designer, it can feel demoralizing to not land a design job right out of college. Retail, customer service, and food service jobs give you firsthand knowledge into how those environments run, making your future designs for those spaces more effective. For leaders in the design space, you need to create environments for your employees to thrive. Encourage communication, and make your employees feel comfortable being vulnerable. From their honest sharing comes opportunities for you to help them grow. Quote of the Show:“I want to make sure that when the guest comes in, they are greeted by a warm and inviting space.” - Taniya NayakLinks: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TaniyaNayak Website: https://taniyanayak.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taniyanayak/ Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1892187 Shout Outs: 0:30 - HGTV 0:42 - Ellen DeGeneres 0:45 - QVC 0:46 - Rachel Ray 0:47 - Oprah 1:20 - Hotec: https://www.hotecglobal.com/ 10:44 - Yelp 11:42 - Open Table: https://www.opentable.com/ 12:37 - The Break: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1892187 17:13 - Danny Meyer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dhmeyer/ 19:02 - MIT 21:03 - Boston Architectural College: https://the-bac.edu/ 33:06 - Knock First: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401024/?ref_=ttpl_ov 35:28 - Baccarat Hotel New York: https://www.baccarathotels.com/ 37:16 - Craigslist 37:53 - ABC Family 38:14 - The New York Yankees: https://www.mlb.com/yankees Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPX Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1s Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419

The book also features a section where she provides a basic recipe which can then be easily transformed into two or three new recipes to make meal planning a breeze during busy weeknight schedules.

It’s more than just fundraising! In this playful episode of Add Passion and Stir, host Billy Shore and event emcee Taniya Nayak (HGTV, Food Network) conduct “red carpet” interviews at the 2018 Taste of the Nation Boston. Guests include Celebrity Chef Tiffani Faison (Sweet Cheeks Q, Tiger Mama), Adam Amontea (Cafco), Lacey Berrien and David Miller (Boston Society), and Emily Pochman (Share Our Strength). In its 30th year, the event features 60 chefs from Boston-area restaurants and raises more than $210,000 for No Kid Hungry. “One of my favorite feelings in the world is to see people come together to enjoy a meal in a space that I got to design,” says Nayak. Faison talks about her background and commitment to social justice and LGBTQ rights. “My job is to make it easier for the next generation, so… they can just give their art, their spirit and their love to the world without having to consider their safety,” she says. Amontea, who is one of the event sponsors, describes his company’s ties to the culinary world and long-standing commitment to No Kid Hungry. Berrien and Miller share their thoughts on the work they are doing to get the next generation of philanthropists involved. Billy and Taniya also get a surprise visit from Erik and Farrah - a first-grade teacher in the Boston public school system – newlyweds who purchased 125 tickets to the event for their wedding guests because they feel so strongly about the cause of child hunger. “I look at my students and there’s such an impact…when they’re fed, they’re able to learn,” says the bride in her wedding dress.

This mission is makeover takeover! Restaurant: Impossible designer and part-time ninja Taniya Nayak turns the tables on us and takes over the show. It's all hands on deck when we're joined by Restaurant mission leader, taskmaster, tough guy, chef and sharp business man Robert Irvine. And, because no makeover takes shape without tools, tear-down and terrific work, contractor Tom Bury of Division9 – Design takes a break from his round-the-clock makeover run to talk construction. And, one marital issue is resolved, when we both agree that we should finally replace the front door to our 100+ year old American Foursquare. This brings up a new issue of deciding on the type/ kind/features we want for the door. The solution? Well, we've been using a program on Therma-Tru's website called My Saved Doors, which helps us share our door ideas with each other. Also, we're trying to stay young without finding The Fountain Of Youth by stocking up on a new antioxident-rich drink, Modjo Life. This message will NOT destruct in 30 seconds. It's all happening on this week's MyFixitUpLife.
