    My workroom routine always involves listening to my podcasts. The Sew Much More Podcast is of course, at the top of my list. 😊

    Hearing the conversations of other workroom owners provides a ‘kinship’ of sorts.

    Our experiences are shared by others, both good and not so good. These stories are motivating, like that feeling we have attending the CWC conference or CHF conference in the past. Ceil provides us with a taste of that excitement of meeting our counterparts.

    I enjoy learning about th... more

  • This Podcast is my new essential tool!

    Listening to Ceil talk with various entrepreneurs in this industry and hearing all about how they got their start, what struggles they’ve had, what successes they’ve had, and what advice they can give to others has definitely been one of the best things I’ve discovered recently. I’ve operated my own workroom for 23 years, and I can identify with so many of these experiences, but also have gained a sense of direction for my future from listening. Thank you, Ceil, for doing this!

  • Feels like community

    Working as a solo upholsterer can be so isolating, but listening to The Sew Much More podcast makes me feel like I’m in a room with my peers. At some point in every episode I find myself agreeing out loud with something a guest is saying 😅I look forward to every episode.

  • I look so forward to Sunday mornings when I can relax with my cup of coffee and listen to Ceil’s podcast. Always informative, inspiring, fun, and sometimes deeply emotional. I feel like I have a connection with each person being interviewed. It’s amazing how similar our stories all are on how we got started in the business, our love of sewing and creating all things beautiful. Each week as she is asking her usual questions I find my self answering them to myself...they make me think about all ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

489 - Anthony Del Rey - Providing Service and Taking Care of Customers
Q: What advice would you give to someone who's new in business or someone who's been in business for a while?
If you're going to sell the technologies, learn as much as you can about it. Knowledge is the best sales tool that you can have.
488 - Devin Ryan - People Were Willing To Take A Chance on Me
Q: What is your definition of success?
To me, it's pretty simple. It's having happy clients. It's when they show up to pick up their piece, and they are smiling and excited. Just that fulfillment of knowing you've done your job is all I could ask for.
488 - Devin Ryan - People Were Willing To Take A Chance on Me
Q: Have you ever thought about quitting?
Sure, even if it's on a minor scale, I've thought about quitting when I realized how little money I'm actually making. I've worked really hard and grown my skills significantly, but my business side isn't as strong. So I try to educate myself to strengthen my business skills instead of giving up.
488 - Devin Ryan - People Were Willing To Take A Chance on Me
Q: So what are some of the biggest challenges that you've had, whether they're related to having MS or not? What are some of the biggest challenges you've encountered?
The simplest one would just be moving furniture up and downstairs and out of a basement because I didn't have a walkout basement. But bigger challenges include my husband's autism and our past separation. Overall, helping people keeps me motivated to do what I need to do.
486 - Opportunity Thinking Series with the New Owners of Upholstery Education
Q: Is there a specific mission for upholstery education?
To focus on offering traditional upholstery methodology and making that knowledge accessible.
