Every designer has hours they can't bill for but can't afford to skip—pricing, finances, hiring, scaling, and protecting margins. Hosted by the team behind Indema, this show delivers practical, no-fluff business insights for interior designers and firm owners. Each episode covers strategy, operations, client management, and financial literacy with actionable takeaways. It also aims to help those entering the design industry and building their businesses. The podcast includes bonus content and resources through its Insider subscription, much of it free.
