With me on the podcast today is Kymberlyn Lacy of Kymberlyn Lacy Interiors, and I am so excited for this conversation. Kymberlyn is an incredibly talented designer who has built strategic partnerships with vendors across the country and is truly someone to watch in the interiors industry. She's innovative, forward-thinking, and always leading the way.

But what makes today's episode especially meaningful is her newest project—her children's book, A Designer Like Me, developed alongside the STEM coalition. It's a beautiful story designed to help kids see themselves in creative careers and recognize that there's a place for them in the world of interiors and design.

We'll talk about the book's development, the inspiration behind the main character, Fawn, and how Kymberlyn is thinking about legacy, representation, and opening doors for the next generation. It's a heartfelt, inspiring conversation you're going to love.

In this episode, we're reframing the sales conversation and exploring how trust transforms the entire experience, making it more authentic, effective, and enjoyable for everyone involved. Get ready for an energizing, insightful, and fun conversation about sales that just might change how you think about it.
