Groovy Interior Design (with Nan Krueger)

Today’s guest is an interior designer, entrepreneur, mom, and a wicked awesome Color and Pattern Mixologist. Welcome, Nan Krueger! It makes sense that she’s an interior designer. her parents were amateur designers--they owned a few houses over the years while she was growing up in the 70’s, and she remembers playing with their fabric samples and drafting supplies. Their furniture templates fascinated her; she drew floor plans for countless imaginary homes. She went on to earn degrees in art history and interior design. Over the past 25 years, she’s worked for several designers, taught design classes for two community education programs, and volunteered at historic houses. She started Groovyhome because she believes that your home can be your sanctuary, without the pain of renovating. She believes in repurposing when possible, basing your layout on your lifestyle, and using interior design to make the most of the space you've already got.

What Conscious Consumers Want (with Ashlee Sang)

Let’s talk about conscious consumerism. Today’s guest is a conscious consumer and she also advises sustainable businesses around marketing strategy and brand identity… it’s all about what conscious consumers want! Ashlee Sang is today’s guest and she is so insightful and charming. One of my favorite things she said is “Every single choice I make affects a real human and actually affects the environment in a real way... once I knew that, I couldn't unknow it.” I feel the same way! Once I learned about factory farming, the dairy industry, the clothing industry, etc, I couldn’t unknow it and I now I have to make decisions with this knowledge in mind. She also gives some great tips for people who want to be a little more conscious, and of course for sustainable businesses who want to reach more customers.
