It’s difficult to quickly sum up Keith Granet’s career: he’s been a business consultant to high-profile interior designers for over three decades, but he’s also the founder of the Leaders of Design, the chairman of the board at software platform Studio Designer, and the author of several books on the design business. More recently, Granet took over the Decorative Furnishings Association, and is in the process of launching an AI symposium. On this episode of the podcast he speaks with host Dennis Scully about the six qualities successful designers share, why professional education needs to change, and what the design business will look like in 2035.

A longtime New Yorker and a media veteran, Wendy Goodman’s first job in publishing was working as Anna Wintour’s assistant at Harper’s Bazaar. After leaving the fashion world behind, she built her career in design, where she has become one of the industry’s most beloved editors, publishing conversation-starting homes week after week in the pages of New York. On this episode of the podcast, Goodman speaks with host Dennis Scully about just how much social media has changed the world; why trends are meaningless; and why, when she steps into someone’s home, she leaves her judgment at the door.
