Love this podcast as someone trying to decide if I make the jump to interior design. HOWEVER I’ve noticed that he always mansplains the women he has on. He seems to think he knows more than them rather than focusing on interviewing them

Too much host and too many tangent stories; not enough guest or substance.

I enjoy listening to the interviews. Nick always has great advice and he is always willing to connect individuals for the greater good. He talks so highly of Market and I hope to visit.

Have very good guests but wish there was more substance to the interviews. Want to hear more from guests - their childhoods, how they knew they wanted to be a designer, their journey, the real challenges of the business, etc. A bit too much chit chat for me - less host, more guest.

I have been hooked since the first time I listened. Nick has a way of allowing designers to feel safe in opening up about their businesses. As a designer and business owner, I feel these conversations will help our industry to create community. Good job, Nick!

Great podcast and I enjoy its originality and "real-life content." However, the intro music is annoying and the background noise in some of the interviews is horrible and very distracting and makes the interviews, which are very interesting, hard to listen to. But 4 stars because I enjoy it.Read full review »
