Key Thoughts:

 

• We could say we ran a business, but we just owned our job. Carolyn Boldt (13:22) 

   

• You can't be all you have to graduate up. Which is why a lot of us talk about now and scaling, having the CEO somebody to do operations in management and then the technicians to execute. Michele (14:23) 

   

• Residential design is very much about the human being in the space. How do I want to feel in the space? How do I want to represent myself to my friends, etc. In business, it has to be about the return on investment. Carolyn Boldt (23:15) 

   

• We began to see the elements that we needed to scale. We needed to create a system of the design process, which all the design processes go through and then create a system, so that our deliverables basically are the same. The designs are different, but the process is the same. Carolyn Boldt (30:01) 

   

• The one thing that I would recommend is when we're looking to hire, the question is do you have time to train and to give this person the opportunity to ramp up? If you do not have that you do better to hire more experience to get it done. Michele (42:07)
