For too long, the Black family home has been left out of the story of America—a missing character. Authors Jeanine Hays and Bryan Mason felt it was time to write that story. The result is a book that celebrates the beauty, culture and creativity that’s always been present, but too often ignored.  

In this episode we learn: 
- home is more than a place to live for Black families who have been denied for hundreds of years 
- the connections we all make to home are deeply powerful 
- despite imaginary divisions, we all need the same things 
- for too many Black homeowners, there are still a variety of overt and hidden roadblocks to owning a home 
- race covenants were a direct path to excluding Black families from home ownership
- the Fair Housing Act was enacted in 1968
- today, fewer Blacks own homes than their parents’ generation did

Without confidence, the interior design professional can never really thrive. Thankfully, confidence is something you can learn and emulate. Designer Eric McClelland shares some tips and tricks for staying confident, even in the toughest situations.

In this episode we learn:
- limit project diversions initiated by the client—have a swift response and keep the project on track
- 20 years ago, most designers did better work, since clients weren’t getting as involved
- a concise concept eliminates some of the shopping that clients might do on their own
- staying firm in your first choice (vs. backpedalling) is a display of confidence—- it’s hard to exude confidence if you are backpedalling
- sometimes our job is to say no, early in the project
- use budget as the condition for changing your choices
- when a client wants you to price multiple options, let her know it will create additional design fees
