Long time listener, first time "caller" here! I was thrilled to be invited to share my story with Luann. She is so skilled at her craft. The back and forth is effortless, natural and unrehearsed. She is an active listener which kept the conversation on point. It is like talking to an old friend on the couch in your living room. All of her podcasts, on both shows, are always so educational and entertaining. She is a master of her craft and I am proud to have been a guest!

Powerful, Practical, and not for Wimpy Entrepreneurs

LuAnn simply knows our business and “has been there,” in all the seasons our businesses go through. So wherever you are you can find ideas, nudging, goals to reach for, and flat out straight talk. My favorite podcast for windshield-time between appointments!

LuAnn is real

This is not a fluff podcast that tells you what you want to hear or gives you ideas of things to try that are not tested and proven. LuAnn and team have been in business for decades and are offering real world first hand experience, knowledge, advice, and tips on how to run your business better. She truly cares about what you’re doing and wants to help you improve in all areas. Bringing on guest hosts and talking with real life owners in the business helps continue to build on this platform. Even if you didn’t know you were wanting this help, you listen and realize that’s the exact advice you needed to hear this week. She’s real. She’s honest. She’s down to earth and she cares. She’s also a straight shooter so no fluff. This podcast is great for any business owner at any level. Thank you LuAnn for all you do.

Great advice for all design professionals!

I’m a big fan of Lu’s other show, A Well-Designed Business. Even though I am an interior designer and not in the window treatment industry, there is so much great stuff here that translates to related professions. The short episodes are gold with great takeaways. 💫
