Nathan also shares the joy and personal pride that comes from helping someone discover that one perfect piece—whether it’s a new sofa, a dining set, or a bedroom suite—turning a house into a home.For anyone who has ever worked in retail, struggled with finding meaning in their career, or simply appreciates the art of great customer service, this episode is a powerful reminder that some things—like passion, connection, and care—can never be replaced by an algorithm.For more information, visit grandhf.com!
