poWer House Podcast

Our latest poWer Podcast episode brings the poWer Table straight to your headphones! Hosted monthly by Krysta Edey and Shirley Eggerman, the poWer Table creates an opportunity for dealers to come together, have honest conversations about real topics impacting our industry, share experiences, and learn from one another.

We've taken the audio from one of these monthly discussions and turned it into a podcast episode so you can tune in wherever you are. Whether you're looking for a fresh perspective, industry insight, or simply want to hear what other dealers are experiencing, this conversation is one worth listening to.

This month on the poWer House Podcast, I’m joined by Ryan Simmons from Brand Red for a special episode built around your questions.

We asked our poWer members what they wanted to know, what they’re curious about, and what challenges they’re facing—and you delivered!

Ryan and I are diving into the topics and questions submitted by our members, with an honest and open conversation designed to give you practical ideas, fresh perspective, and maybe a few things to think about differently.

No scripted interview. No fluff. Just real questions from our community and real conversations about the things that matter to women working in the flooring industry.

This time around, we’re skipping the script, skipping the polished answers, and simply taking a moment to catch up.

Rebecca sits down with members of the poWer Committee for an honest conversation about what’s really been happening behind the scenes — in business, in leadership, at home, and everywhere in between.

Because while we spend so much time talking about success, growth, goals, and leadership, there’s another side of the story that doesn’t always get talked about.

The busy seasons.
The tough decisions.
The moments of doubt.
The lessons learned the hard way.

And trying to balance it all without completely losing your mind along the way.

We’re sharing some of the things we’re proud of, some of the things that have challenged us, and the realities of navigating careers, businesses, families, leadership, and life — often all at the same time.

There’s no perfect formula here, and definitely no pretending that we have everything figured out. Just a group of women who understand the pressures of this industry, who are willing to be honest about the highs and lows, and who know how much better things can feel when you realize you’re not doing it alone.

So whether you’re listening from your car, your showroom, your office, a jobsite, or somewhere in between, pull up a chair and join the conversation.

Join us this month as we talk all things business, life as an owner and mom, and the highs and lows of the flooring industry today.

Grab your a cup of coffee, sit back, and join us for a great chat with even greater guests!

Join us today as we talk everything AI. We all know AI can dramatically help our businesses, but there is a good chance you do not know where to start. Listen in today to our three guests, Jennifer Homeyer, Ryan Simmons and Sam Locher, on how they have implemented AI in their businesses and where the recommend to start for your store.

Join us today as we talk with Jason Jabara where we dive into all things confidence—both personal and professional.

From practical mindset shifts to real-world strategies, this conversation explores how to build, maintain, and project confidence in every area of your life. Whether you’re navigating challenges at work or looking to grow personally, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

Join us today as we talk with Michelle Nix about leadership and the ways we can improve as leaders in our stores.

Leadership isn’t about being liked—it’s about being effective.

In this episode, leadership coach Michelle Nix joins The Powerhouse Podcast to unpack leading with facts (not emotion), setting boundaries without guilt, and how the DISC personality framework can transform the way you lead, communicate, and handle conflict—at work and at home.

In this inspiring and insightful conversation, Rebecca sits down with Michelle of AC Carpet Plus to talk all things showroom strategy, interior design, and the evolving world of flooring. Michelle shares how she built a successful boutique-style showroom in rural Wisconsin — proving that less can truly be more when it comes to product selection, thoughtful design, and customer experience.

From creating intentional spaces and simplifying choices to real-world talk about hardwood vs. LVP, lighting, scents, and the return of character-rich interiors, this episode delivers practical takeaways and genuine laughs. Rebecca and Michelle also explore the latest trends (and some they hope never come back), creative showroom hacks, and why personal style should always matter more than resale opinions.

Whether you’re a flooring pro, a design lover, or just someone who wants to feel confident making design choices in your own home, this conversation will leave you inspired to think differently about space, style, and storytelling in design.

Tune in — and fair warning, you may walk away wanting a butler pantry, powder room makeover, and yes… a laundry chute.

Join Rebecca this week as she talks with Brian Peed from Floor Boys and Reagan Echols from IQ Floors on their worst install stories. Grab your favorite drink, sit back, and laugh at their misery and be reminded that we're all in this pursuit of running a flooring store together. Enjoy!
