The Pretty Smart Podcast
Pretty Smart is a candid, stylish, real-talk podcast hosted by three design industry insiders—Jane Dagmi, Jessica Duce, and Ericka Saurit—about what it actually takes to build something meaningful in the world of design, hospitality, and creative entrepreneurship. Each season brings honest conversations about the messy middle of building a business and the bold leaps required when you’re creating something meaningful in an industry that feels larger than life. It’s like a sleepover with your besties, where you get to listen in to all the juicy bits. You’ll hear stories of courage, ambition, brand building, and the friendships that made it all possible. Whether you’re a designer, creative, investor, host, tastemaker, or just looking for clarity, community, and a little comic relief, you’re in the right place. Pretty Smart is your reminder that nobody actually has it all figured out…they’re just doing it anyway. Join us: https://www.theprettysmartpodcast.com/
