Today, we are talking with special guest Carol White. Carol has been "Living her Dream" and creating her happy places for over 70 years now. But she's had experience, right? She had a corporate marketing job with AT&T/Lucent for 34 years and raised her two children in Oregon. Upon retiring, she and her husband traveled the US for year in a 19' RV and wrote a book - Live Your Road Trip Dream. She found that creating a happy place can happen in any square footage! She now has the privilege of creating two happy places as they are now snowbirds drifting between AZ and OR. Her website: www.roadtripdream.com

Today, we are talking with special guest Garrison Hullinger. Garrison is an interior designer who faced a life-changing accident that put him in physical recovery for five years. He had to learn how to read, walk, and speak, all over again.

Garrison Hullinger is Principal at Garrison Hullinger Interior Design. GHID’s meteoric rise from its 2010 start in Garrison’s attic to a bustling studio in downtown Portland is a direct result of the talent and flexibility of the team he has assembled and nurtured over the years. Combined with his background in branding and retail business systems, Garrison’s commitment to client-centered design and deep understanding of color, form, and construction shape every project that GHID takes on – whether it’s a private home, a multi-family development, or a high-end hotel.
