I’m not an interior designer myself (PR coach) but people in my program and community are! And this is a show I would definitely recommend to them, especially those in the earlier stages of their biz! Kaitlin and her guests know their stuff and even tho I have zero experience in this industry I found it engaging and easy to follow along! Excited to share with my community!

Like me, who runs a branding and marketing consultancy, or the friend I recommended it to, who runs a PR shop.
