#182 | Billy Beson | Billy Beson Co. | Building a Design Empire on Trust, Not Trends
About this episode
Billy Beson discusses the emotional aspects of interior design and the importance of trust and kindness in business.
Billy Beson returns with a résumé that includes decorating an actual presidential palace, mentoring half of the design world, and somehow still finding time to launch a brand new art gallery in his "retirement." He and Mark dig into what makes interior design an emotional art, why hoarding trade secrets is a losing strategy, and why kindness might be the most underrated business skill there is. It wraps with a story about paper clips being declared "dangerously low," which is somehow one of the funniest lines in Curious Builder history.
