Today With LuAnn Nigara on The McClain Method Podcast with John McClain:
Today’s episode is a little different, and one I’m really excited to share with you.
This is a special "LuAnn Featured" episode where I share with you my appearance on John McClain’s podcast, The McClain Method. The conversation was thoughtful, honest, and reflective enough that we knew it belonged here on A Well-Designed Business as well.
In this conversation, I share the journey that began with helping my husband, Vinny, build Window Works and evolved into creating A Well-Designed Business and the education platform that grew from it.
We talk about why I saw such a clear gap in business education for designers, what it actually took to launch and monetize a podcast before podcasting was considered a “strategy,” and why having a real business plan is not optional if you want longevity.
We also get personal.
I talk about the importance of protecting your health, the reality of patience and burnout, the role Vinny has played behind the scenes, and the lessons that only come from decades of building, pivoting, and staying committed to the long game.
This episode is full of honest stories, practical perspective, and encouragement for designers who know they’re capable of more, but may be standing in their own way.
And be sure to join us next week for Part Two, where we shift into more specific strategies for building a sustainable, profitable design business.
