Notes from the trenches, plus inspiring advice on tools, techniques and strategies. Rick Campos expertly interviews to get the best from a mix of interior design firm founders and business experts. It is what it says completely - a survival guide for the design biz, and such a valuable resource.
Design Biz Survival Guide is a must for interior designers. Through interviewing designers, photographers, manufacturers, and others in our field, Rick culls invaluable information from each guest’s story. From best practices to inspiration to the secret to their survival, I take away a nugget of wisdom each time I listen. And I think the best part is the sense of community he creates.
I found Rick’s podcast a little over a year ago and it quickly became one of my must listen to podcasts! Rick’s passion for the interior design community, and his belief of community over competition, comes through in every episode. I started working with Rick as a coaching client and it has been one of the best investments to help me up level and refine my processes and presentation. I highly recommend Rick’s podcast as well as his coaching services. You owe it to yourself, your clients and you... more
Rick has been one of the most encouraging supporters of designers and I love hearing from his guest designers about their perspectives. I write down at least one new thing to incorporate into my practices each episode. I wouldn’t want to be in this industry alone and DBSG and Rick make sure that never happens. Thank you!
