This episode is a conversation with Scout Driscoll, Founder and CEO of DesignScout, a branding and full-service design agency. Scout started her business 21 years ago, when she was fresh out of college. In listening to her story, it's evident she has a true love affair with her business. She never looks at DesignScout as an asset, but rather as a child. Her business, her employees, and her clients - are all deeply personal to her.

One of the biggest (and incredibly successful) lessons Scout was forced to learn in her journey is how to successfully market her business after being referral based. Her "covid pivot" helped her realize that marketing yourself correctly helps her catch her soulmate clients. Her story is inspiring.

This episode is a conversation with Kim Hannay, Founder and Executive Director of Digs With Dignity, a local Chicago nonprofit that collects furniture and home goods from the community and uses them to design and furnish homes for families exiting homelessness.

Digs with Dignity began in 2019 and have currently served 200 families. Prior to outfitting each family's home, Digs meets with the family to learn about their design tastes, as well as their must-haves and would-love-to-haves in their home. With that knowledge in hand, they create a home for the family that is personalized specifically to them. And having that comfortable, beautifully decorated, fully-equipped home makes all the difference in the world. 97% of the families Digs served remained housed! As a matter of fact, many have received promotions and achieved other personal goals that may not have been possible without the stability of their home.

Digs with Dignity is truly an extraordinary organization. Learn more about their mission in this podcast.

Reverie will be doing a Digs Day on Friday, October 18th. OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE $5000 to create a lovely, inviting and beautifully decorated home for a deserving family. Will you join us in our fundraising efforts by making a donation to our fundraising page: https://www.mightycause.com/story/Jduaof?

This episode is a conversation with Faith Hurley & Stacy Callighan, Co-Founders of PinPoint Collective, which is a women-owned, women-led strategic research studio that helps their clients truly understand the audience they serve. Faith and Stacy have been in business for 6 years, and over the course of that time, have learned that focusing on their niche, and not being everything to everybody, helped them to unpack their super power - bringing the voice of women to the executive board table. They are a purpose-driven company that believes people come before profit. And it is that purpose that drove them to build a company that is free from the pain points they experienced while working in their former companies. Their story is incredible.
