Drew Michael Scott grew up on YouTube, starting his first channel at age 12. Almost two decades later under the moniker Lone Fox, he’s become one of the biggest voices in DIY and design on the platform with nearly 2 million subscribers—not to mention his 1.5 million on Instagram. Drew doesn’t pretend to be an interior designer—he loves to learn alongside his audience, and embraces the journey, clip by clip. On this episode of the podcast he speaks with host Dennis Scully about why he’s opened up a shop dedicated to vintage pieces, which social media platform has the least friendly algorithm, and why he still edits every video himself.

The last time Fireclay Tile CEO Eric Edelson was on the podcast, he shared the story of how he took over the company and, in a Jerry McGuire moment, turned its business model upside down. Six years later, and Fireclay has grown considerably, and Edelson has been on an acquisition spree, recently picking up Fox Marble, a sizeable Bay Area area fabrication and installation firm.  

On this episode of the podcast, Edelson tells host Dennis Scully about why running a company in California is both an opportunity and a challenge, why he still believes in the B Corp model, and why the biggest change to his approach has been learning how to plan for success.

Founded in London in the 19th century, Liberty has always been known for its embrace of bold and daring style. Oscar Wilde called it “the chosen resort of the artistic shopper,” a reputation that stuck for 150 years—today, Liberty is one of the most-visited stores in London. In recent years, the brand has been known more for fashion than home, but head of design for Liberty Interiors Genevieve Bennett has been tasked to revitalize the interiors fabric business, and she’s been on a tear, overseeing new collections that tap the company’s incredible archive while looking ahead to the future. 

In this episode, host Dennis Scully speaks with Bennett about how Liberty approaches design for different regions around the world, why they’re being cautious about performance fabrics, and the good news that color and pattern are officially back.
