The Trend Report
Bonus Episode: Season 7 Trailer
The workplace is changing faster than the conversations guiding it. We’re stepping up with a sharper plan for Season Seven: weekly episodes designed to spark action, challenge assumptions, and give you practical tools to build spaces and businesses that actually work.
Twice a month, we bring 30‑minute interviews with leaders across contract interiors and workplace design, from CEOs to product builders to operators solving today’s messy problems. Then we add two fast formats: Hot Takes, where a spinning topic wheel triggers real‑time reactions with a rotating co‑host, and 10‑to‑Win, a focused 10‑minute play you can apply this week to sharpen sales, partnerships, processes, or leadership.
No fluff. No scripts. Just useful insight.
Expect deeper dives into the future of product design, AI that actually helps your team, and the evolving roles of dealers, independent reps, and A&D partnerships. We talk pricing power, channel shifts, speed to spec, spec integrity, and how to align design intent with commercial realities.
We also bring back CEO chats that reveal the thinking behind bold moves and the lessons that come with them. This season kicks off with Bryce Stuckenschneider of LoftWall, primed to talk growth, strategy, and where the category is headed next.
Your voice is driving this season. Use our SpeakPipe link to ask questions, react, or pitch topics; we’ll feature select messages on air. If you want to go deeper, join the Insider Community for live office hours twice a month, trend memos, resource docs, and bonus conversations with past guests. It’s a low‑pressure space for people obsessed with how workplaces are made and used, and who want to learn with others who care.
