If you’re an interior designer dreaming of being on television, this episode is your roadmap. John McClain sits down with HGTV star, product designer, author, and branding powerhouse Breegan Jane for an unfiltered conversation about what it really takes to get noticed by TV networks—and how building a bold, authentic brand is the key to long-term success.
Breegan shares how she:

- Landed 13 HGTV shows including Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Dream Home
- Balances being a mom, business owner, philanthropist, and global product designer
- Designed her dream home based on purpose—not resale value
- Brings bold, personal design decisions to life (like steel drums in the playroom and no upper cabinets in the kitchen)
- Created viral design moments while staying rooted in authenticity
Whether you're a designer who wants to be on TV, launch a product line, or just live more boldly in your business—this episode is packed with actionable inspiration and behind-the-scenes insight.
