The Interior Collective is a podcast for the business of beautiful living presented by IDCO Studio and hosted by Anastasia Casey.
The word is finally out y'all: we started a podcast! After years of discussing business strategy here on the blog, hosting countless sessions of Design Camp, and partnering with more than a thousand designers across genres and skill levels at IDCO Studio, we knew this was our natural next step.
At its core, The Interior Collective is a podcast for the business of beautiful living. Each week I'll host interior designers and industry tastemakers for transparent conversations about the practical realities of running a creative business. As always, the advice will be actionable, educational, and sincere while we delve into topics like client processes, sustainability, revenue streams, and hiring. We've nearly wrapped recording with our season one guests, and I can promise you it's going to be so unbelievably good. Episodes will drop weekly starting Friday, May 20th, but you can listen to the official podcast trailer for a sneak peek.
THE INTERIOR COLLECTIVE
Why We Started a Podcast
In full transparency, I wasn’t always on board with the idea of hosting a podcast. For starters, I don’t love hearing the sound of my own voice. And, unlike the typical commuter, I could never find the extra time to listen to shows regularly. Funny enough, once I began consistently driving the 3.5 hours to and from the lake house, I suddenly had tons of time to fill, and podcasts became the answer.
Over time, I realized that a podcast would allow us to make the knowledge we share at Design Camp so much more accessible and could be such a meaningful extension of our studio. Our Creative Director, Riley Campbell, was one of the driving forces behind launching The Interior Collective, and here’s how she put it:
“With a business focused solely on supporting and empowering interior designers, we’re kind of bursting at the seams with industry-related knowledge. We want to continue building a community of designers that support each other and host discussions where no topic is off-limits. One thing we’ve consistently championed is community over competition, and The Interior Collective podcast is just another level of putting that into practice.”
