I’ve been listening to A Well-Designed Business since my colleague recommended it to me in 2017. I kid you not, that this podcast gave me the information I needed to take the leap into starting my own design business a couple of years ago. LuAnn is an exceptional interviewer and gets the best “nuggets” out of her guests. Aside from that, LuAnn has incredible insights of her own. I always learn something new when I listen to this podcast.

LuAnn is a powerhouse of knowledge, energy, straight talk and heart. She brings diverse topics and guests to deliver well-rounded perspectives and wisdom to build and run your business. She has genuine relationships and deeply cares about people and the quality of content she is delivering. I have learned so much from this podcast, and also have expanded my network and connections as I’ve learned from her guests. Thank you!

I have been listening to this podcast for 5 years now. The messages and lessons that Luann and her guests have given have been instrumental in helping my business grow 10x. This podcast peels back the curtain to discuss more of the nitty gritty of design business which if you are in the industry you know it is highly technical and tricky. I definitely recommend to any interior designer needing a leg up on the business.

WOW! I’ve been listening to A Well-Designed Business for over a year now and loving it! LuAnn is so encouraging and as a new designer makes me feel I can truly be successful. I love the guests she has, I love her positivity, and I love the community!

Between LuAnn’s ability to conduct amazing interviews and the quality of guests she has on the show, I learn something every episode. I’m a better business woman, my clients are happier (because of the process and other things I have implemented), and this reflects in my regular life too. Thank you for all that you do LuAnn!

LuAnn, your podcast has brought so many amazing people and ideas into my business. I cannot thank you enough and am wondering why it took me so long to write this review! From Amber De La Garza who I have worked with for years, to Duke Renders, Deb Mitchell The Dove Agency and so many more, all helping to make my business better. Aside from the people I have hired because of you, and the classes I have taken at LuAnn University, there are so many people you have interviewed that I have learned from and been inspired by. I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for my business and for our industry. It’s not just the people you interview, but YOU inspire me to be a bit better every day! Congratulations on 1000 episodes!

I love LuAnn’s energy and she finds the most epic guests. Her questions aren’t cookie cutter and I think that’s what I like the most.

Highly recommend no matter what phase your business is in from ideation to rebranding there is excellent well thought guidance to keep you moving forward!

I had the distinct privilege of being on LuAnn’s show and not only is she an incredibly kind and hospitable host, her industry knowledge and business savvy made for a fabulous discussion.

To all the aspiring interior designers out there, I highly recommend tuning in to A Well Designed Business. Whether you're looking for practical advice, industry insights, or just a good laugh, this podcast has it all. Thank you again, LuAnn, for the wonderful opportunity. We are excited to see how our conversation might inspire and assist those at the beginning of their interior design journey. Lastly, we love how you have created a safe space for us to share the good and the bad that comes with what we do and being business owners in general! Your girls at Decorelle.

LuAnn always has the best conversations with people about all things interior design. Whether how to structure you business, how to talk to contractors, how to assemble your power team with supportive roles (CPAs, bookkeeper, admin, etc.). The topics are always insightful and motivational. Our company was fortunate enough to be interviewed by LuAnn for her podcast to discuss our design process and other company details and she was such a pleasure to talk to. She is supportive, helpful and fun to talk to. If you are thinking about starting your own business, or want to revamp your business model, this is the podcast to listen to FOR SURE!

It was so fun to chat and laugh with LuAnn about all the things we see in our day to day businesses. Discussing what makes a business run smoothly was a treat and I loved receiving validation that so much of what’s important to me is consistent with LuAnn’s business approach as well as so many of her other podcast guests. I love that we each took away new ideas and “aha” moments, but the best part was that this was an easy conversation, nothing forced or fake…just two like minded women having a great idea exchange, sharing insights that will hopefully help other entrepreneurs succeed in their endeavors. Well done, LuAnn!

This podcast is a must for everyone! Newbie designers as well as the seasoned ones! I have learned soooo much from LuAnn and all of her guest speakers. I love the fact that she’s an open book and willing to help anyone & everyone! Thanks Lu!!!

I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of LuAnn’s new free on-air strategy sessions! I was nervous but so ready for her to give me “the business”. With all the value she gave me, it shouldn’t have been free, lol. LuAnn is a truth-teller. If the baby’s ugly, she’ll tell you the baby’s ugly and we all need that. I don’t need to get sound business advice from someone that sugar coats things or tries to cushion the blow of what needs to be said. How can I get better if I don’t know what the diagnosis is? Our businesses are no different. LuAnn genuinely wants to help interior designers run successful businesses that don’t just succeed, but THRIVE! Thank you LuAnn for truly wanting to bring the best out of us. It’s already in there…it just needs to be brought out. That’s what you do. Thank you #smartlady!

Luann’s podcast is SUCH an amazing resource no matter where you’re at in your design journey. Every single episode has insightful takeaways and ideas that help me up level my business. One of the most valuable podcasts out there, I recommend it to everyone!

Coming from a windy road of a career path, I didn’t know how to start an interior design business and wanted to make a shift. Starting from the very first episode, Luanne’s authenticity and transparency through her questions with her guest speakers taught me that anything is possible. There are helpful tactical takeaways from each episode that’s sprinkled into my business today and I am now on year 4 of a profitable, thriving interior design business. I contribute part of this to Luannes podcast. Luann is like no other… I’d call her the “Oprah” of the Interior Design industry!

I had the opportunity to meet the talented LuAnn at KBIS during our Contractor Coalition Summit a year ago. She is a breath of fresh air, a ball of energy, and just as authentic in person as she is online. And she brings this exact energy to her podcast. Each guest she brings in is a wealth of knowledge, sharing insights generously. It’s like hanging out with the most brilliant minds in the industry. For anyone in or into the home industry - this podcast is a goldmine of inspiration and practical wisdom! It truly is a Goldmine of Wisdom and Inspiration for Creatives and Entrepreneurs.

Being interviewed by LuAnn for my first ever podcast interview was such a great experience and such an honor after being a big fan of her show for so long. I’ve learned so much from her show and love listening to other designers and business owners she’s interviewed and I’m hopeful that what I had to share helps at least one person who listens in!

I’ve been turned on to this show years ago when I was struggling with my design business. My friend said, “This is the ONE podcast you MUST listen to. It’s a wealth of information and it can give you amazing tips on how to succeed!” I have been listening ever since! I love all the incredible guests, all the fun conversations, light hearted, yet very business oriented. I also love the a-ha moments and lots of spiritual sprinkles though out the show. Highly recommend this podcast to any aspiring designers, or even well seasoned ones-there is always something new you can learn from LuAnn’s talks!

OMG, I am so grateful for LuAnn and this Podcast! I recently started “bing listening” to the hundreds of guests and topics on “A well designed business” a few weeks ago and I’m so motivated as we enter 2023! This lady has helped me get focused and determined on fixing my business and ensuring it’s profitable. Now I’m figuring out my dream clients, honing in on my super powers and even considering changing my business trajectory to a more niche approach to reflect my true passion. Thanks to LuAnn and All her guests!! Sincerely Mimi Fall

After listening to at least half of all of Luann’s podcasts I was lucky enough to be on the show today! What an honor to be included! I was worried I would sound like a lunatic -but Luann’s easy and approachable style sets not only the guests on the show at ease but also the listeners. She has a gift to get the nitty gritty info out of the people on her show and bring it to her listeners in an informative and fun manner- I confess I listen in the morning going to work- or on long drives- countless times I miss my exit becoming engrossed into the show. She makes it easy for anyone “to join the conversation” and be engaged in the topic. Hats off to you and thank you again for the opportunity to be a part of the well designed business podcast!

Hello Luann, You are a lifesaver! I have to thank you for the inspiration, education, entertainment and WEALTH of information you provide with your PODCAST. I have been in the decorating business for over 20 years (starting as a home sewing, window treatment business morphing into a full service Interior Decorating business) and ALWAYS love educational opportunities and this Podcast is amazing. I have been bingeing for the past few weeks and have so many favorites I don't know where to start.... Kay Dawson, Catherine Hersacher, Blanche Garcia, Susan Yelly, Anita Dawson, Jason Byrne, Dina Holland.....etc..... I (we) are ready to get our act together and take our business to the next level. Wish you were closer - I'm a HUGGER !

Unequivocally, the single best thing I’ve done for my now thriving Interior Design business is to listen to A Well-Designed Business! By way of her capable and clever guests, LuAnn has an uncanny ability to tease out and systematically break down game changing nuggets of useful information. Because of her earthy, matter-of-fact style I’m able to absorb the teachings, ACTUALLY implement them (*KEY*), and culminate results that never would have been possible without her podcast! A wholehearted thank you, LuAnn and guests, for championing this important industry and for stepping into Sherpa mode, aiding us along this dynamic, multifaceted, rewarding journey!

She is so down-to-earth and I love that her podcast encourages real conversation and she creates a space for you to feel comfortable and share your story in hopes to help others. She is truly amazing. I highly recommend it to those running their own interior design firm as well so you can learn what other’s have experienced.

Great conversations and a wonderful resource not just for those in the window treatments and decorating world but for all, regardless of field. I love the authentic dialogue and the pointers. We all face challenges and celebrate the successes. Hearing from others and experiencing wisdom from a listener perspective is very cool, insightful. Take a listen!
