Have you ever thought that scaling your business meant you had to leave behind the work that fuels you?

In this episode, I’m joined by Emily Hewett, founder and CEO of A Well‑Dressed Home, a Dallas‑based interior design firm that has grown from a one‑woman practice to a thriving team of 20. We dive into how Emily transitioned from designer to leader, the systems that supported intentional growth, and why stepping into a business that’s bigger than you means letting go without losing touch with the heart of what you do.

This episode is brought to you by The Entrepreneur's Death Folder:

If your business couldn’t run without you, that’s a problem—a haunting your assistant from the beyond kind of problem. That’s where the Entrepreneur’s Death Folder comes in. It’s your digital contingency plan: all your logins, contacts, workflows, and need-to-knows in one tidy, shareable place.
Less spooky, more smart. Because peace of mind is the ultimate productivity tool.
