Neighbor Interiors Podcast

Polly and Haven Brady join us to talk about spotting a gap in the home services industry and building a company to fill it. They are the co-founders of Polly Plumbing, which they launched after dealing with contractors as homeowners and knowing there had to be a better way.

In this conversation, we talk about how they brought a customer experience focus and process discipline to a trade not typically known for it, the technology behind a high-touch service experience most people don't expect from a plumber, and what it takes to build a team that delivers it consistently.

Roxy Knight joins us to talk about building a business and the discipline behind great skin. Roxy is the founder of SkinRX in Southlake, a clinical spa she grew from a single leased room into a standalone studio.

In this conversation, we talk about how she built SkinRX through years of trial and error, why she flew to Parma, Italy to vet the ingredients she uses on clients, and why she treats skincare like fitness, where your daily routine matters as much as anything done in the treatment room. Plus, Roxy shares how she unplugs from it all out on the water.

In this conversation, we talk about how Andy approaches health and fitness with the same discipline he brings to his business, the role of art in his home, and how the Cali Cowboy project came to be. Plus, Andy shares what it was like hiring an interior design firm when he moved his family from the West Coast to the Lone Star.
