The StagerBoss Podcast

What if you didn't need a design degree, years of formal training, or a huge marketing budget to build a successful interior design or home staging business?
 
I'm joined by Kelly Stone of Kelly Stone Interiors - Las Vegas–based interior designer, HGTV star, and founder of a high-end boutique design firm.
 
Kelly shares her journey from blogging and designing friends' homes to running a booked-out, high-end business and landing her own HGTV show — all by leaning into her personal brand, creativity, and authenticity.
 
Whether you're an aspiring home stager, a designer at the beginning of your journey, or a 6-figure business owner looking to scale smarter (not just bigger), this conversation will expand what you believe is possible.
 
Inside this episode, we cover:
 
- How Kelly started her design business without going to design school
- Why "if you've got it, you've got it" matters more than qualifications
- The power of personal branding in winning clients and opportunities
- How to grow a business using social media and referrals (no paid ads)
- Building a boutique, high-end firm instead of chasing massive scale
- Hiring, training, and trusting a creative team
- Setting boundaries with clients and choosing projects that light you up
- Why there truly is room for us all in the design and staging industry
 
If you've been waiting for permission to start, pivot, or go all-in on your creative business - this episode is it.

If you've been thinking about starting - or taking your next step - longer than you've been making it, this video is for you.

Most people assume they haven't started because they need more time, more confidence, or better circumstances.

But in reality, what's holding them back is usually indecision and perfectionism disguised as preparation.

In this video, I break down four real reasons people don't get started - and why waiting for perfect timing, perfect tools, or perfect clarity is keeping you exactly where you are.

In this episode, we cover:

- Why "waiting for the right time" quietly kills momentum
- How perfectionism hides behind planning and preparation
- Why trying to solve five-year problems stops you taking today's step

This isn't about doing more.
It's about deciding sooner.

If you're ready to stop preparing and start moving - this is your sign.

2026 is going to be a defining year for the staging industry.
Not because of colour trends or furniture styles — but because of who stays, who scales, and who quietly drops off.
In this episode, I'm sharing my six predictions for the staging industry in 2026, based on nearly a decade in the industry and what I'm seeing unfold right now.
These aren't surface-level trends. They're the shifts that will determine who thrives, who survives, and who gets left behind.
In this episode, I cover:
Why mental toughness and consistency will become a competitive advantage

Why concierge-style, high-touch services will outperform big generic brands

How content and visibility will become as valuable as the stage itself

Why the middle of the market is getting squeezed — and why "affordable" is risky

How stagers who think like marketers will win more work

Why founder-led brands will outperform logo-led businesses in 2026

If you're a home stager — whether you're launching, scaling, or repositioning your business — this video will help you make smarter decisions now so you're not reacting later.
👉 If you want to build a staging business that lasts, not just survives, this one's for you.

Success isn't built in one big moment — it's built in the small things you do daily.
In this episode, I'm walking you through the 5 habits I come back to again and again — the ones that keep me grounded, clear, creative, and focused as a CEO. If your days feel chaotic or you're not seeing the results you want, these five daily habits will change everything.
Inside, we cover:
Why the right kind of consumption is essential to growth

How a daily "output" habit builds momentum in your business

The underestimated power of silence, stillness, and solitude

Why movement isn't just good for your body — it's good for your cash flow

My go-to strategy for getting real, focused, needle-moving work done every day

These habits don't take hours — but they will completely shift the way you show up in your business.

If you're feeling stuck, slow, or like clients just aren't saying yes — I need you to hear this:
It's probably not your pricing. It's not your Instagram feed. It's the energy you're putting out… and your lack of full commitment.
In this episode, I'm unpacking the hard truth: when you don't go all in, clients can feel it. You'll learn:
Why staying in "maybe mode" is repelling the very clients you want

How the emotional cycle of change tricks you into quitting right before the breakthrough

Why trying to help everyone is helping no one

How to finally stop "playing at business" and start owning your expertise like a real CEO

This one's honest, direct, and full of fire — because you don't need another strategy. You need a decision.
