Shownotes Transcript

Today With LuAnn Nigara:

Hi, welcome to A Well-Designed Business! Recently, I listened to Steve Jobs’ biography, and it sparked some big ideas. Steve was more than a tech innovator—he was a master of customer experience, a ruthless prioritizer, and a perfectionist when it came to excellence. In this episode, I’ll reflect on his genius and how we can apply it to our interior design firms.

From branding and systems to productivity and storytelling, we’ll cover practical strategies inspired by Jobs and blended with advice from my Power Talk Friday Experts books. By the end, you’ll have a roadmap to simplify, streamline, and succeed in your business.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why your customer experience is your brand’s story—and how to control it.

  • How to create systems that simplify your life and delight your clients.

  • Why saying “no” is the key to productivity and growth.

  • The art of storytelling to create emotional connections with your audience.

  • Why excellence is a daily choice that leads to a lasting legacy.
