A household name in the industry and beyond, Nate Berkus rose to prominence in the early 2000s through his appearances on the Oprah Winfrey show.

On this episode of the podcast Berkus speaks with host Dennis Scully about his lifelong obsession with antiques; his new book on the foundations of a great home; and why, despite having every opportunity to ditch the grind of client work, he lives for the daily challenges of being a designer.

Jamb is a unique English company, offering everything from 17th century fireplaces to modern day reproduction furniture. Its founder, Will Fisher, fell in love with antiques at a young age, working at Christie’s as a teenager. He built up Jamb piece by piece, starting as a “man with a van” solo dealer, growing his trade and eventually getting into manufacturing reproductions. Today, alongside his wife and business partner Charlotte Freemantle, Fisher is a leading figure in the British design establishment.

On this episode of The Business of Home Podcast, he speaks with host Dennis Scully about why he doesn’t rely on online listings to buy antiques; his hopes for the next generation of connoisseurs; and why, no matter how much Jamb has grown, he still thinks of himself as a man with a van.

Sarah Spiteri is the global brand director behind British shelter magazines Homes & Gardens and Livingetc. Livingetc is a modern creation, founded in the late 1990s to focus on contemporary style—but Homes & Gardens is an English institution dating back to 1919.

On this episode of the podcast she speaks with host Dennis Scully about the surprising fact that the majority of her online audience is American, why she wants to democratize the English design scene, and why, despite being an iconic British magazine, Homes & Gardens is open to publishing great design from anywhere in the world.

Krista Nye Nicholas and Tami Ramsay are the founders of Ramsay Nye, an interior design firm operating out of Athens, Georgia, and Ann Arbor, Michigan. What began as a comment on Pinterest evolved into one of the industry's most successful long-distance partnerships. Over the past decade, they've built a thriving design practice as well as a multiline showroom business, Cloth & Kind, which represents artisanal textile lines, lighting and furnishings  across twelve Midwestern states. Their recent decision to rebrand their design firm under their own names—while keeping Cloth & Kind for the showroom—marks a new chapter in their evolution.

On this episode of the podcast they speak with host Dennis Scully about how distance became the secret ingredient to their partnership’s success; how running a multiline showroom sharpens their design practice; and how an “eat, pray, love” moment taught them exactly what business they didn’t want to be in.
