What We Learned at the Luxury Design Summit

It's really important to get out of your bubble sometimes and work ON your business, not IN your business every single day. It's an investment but it's worth it. In this episode, we report on what inspired us at the Luxury Design Summit in Chatham Bars Inn in Cape Cod. SPONSOR – This episode is sponsored by Esteem Media.
