The Thursday Show: A designer's arrest reopens the transparency debate. Plus: How to help the chatbots find you

Business of Home Podcast

This is Business of Home, I'm Dennis Scully, and welcome to The Thursday Show. Later on, I'll be speaking with digital consultant Ian Lurie about how to make your business more visible to AI chatbots. But first, we're going to catch up on the news, including sweeping new tariffs, a designers arrest in California, and whether GLP-1s are transforming home design. To do all that, I'm joined by Business of Home's executive editor, Fred Nikolaus. Hi, Fred!

Hi, Dennis. How's it going? Great. How you doing? Doing good. I'm barely here. I'm slinking off for vacation tomorrow. He is almost on vacation. Yeah, I've got my Hawaiian shirt on. Listeners can't see it. But yeah, I'm half out the door, so I apologize if my input today is less than exemplary. What's up with you? You got any big vacations planned for the summer we should know about?

I don't. You know, after the failure of the fishing expedition, I'm worried about making plans and getting excited, so I think I might be hanging around the home and taking care of things while you're away.

Well, you know who'll be taking care of things while I'm away next week is Caitlin Peterson, who'll be sitting in as the guest co-host next week. So look forward to that. In the meantime, let's look back on Monday's episode of Conversation with Photographer Simon Upton, a charming British gentleman and a wonderful photographer. I really enjoyed kind of looking at his work as I was listening to the show.

And such a beautiful book that he's come out with, with an incredible collection of his photography. And what is striking is how many incredible decorators, designers, and owners of grand English country manor houses Simon has photographed over the years.
