Elevated with Brandy Lawson
This season of Elevated is twenty-six episodes for owners of kitchen and bath design businesses who are running everything out of their heads — and are done paying the price for it. Each episode follows one habit — recording your work and letting AI do something useful with it — so you can stop being the only backup system for a 6-month renovation project. Subscribe so you don't miss the episode that's about you.

There's so much noise about AI right now, it's like trying to have a conversation in a construction zone. While the industry is abuzz about AI for design visualization and renderings – which has its place – the real game-changer is happening on the business side. Yet that's exactly where there seems to be the most resistance and confusion.

In this episode we’re tackling one of most consequential software decisions in your business – your architecture design tools. This isn't about comparing feature lists or debating which platform is "best."

If your team is drowning in project emails, frantically searching through threads for client answers, and watching designers become bottlenecks because all project knowledge lives in their inbox—you're not alone.

But one cabinet dealer discovered something di...

You announce new software to your team. Instead of enthusiasm, you get eye rolls, passive resistance, and that special kind of silence that means "we're not on board."
Here's the hard truth: Software implementation isn't a technical challenge. It's a human one.
Your team isn't resisting the software—they're resisting the uncertainty, disruption, and fear of looki...

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
