Today With Juliana Ewer: Today with Juliana Ewer, president of the Houston IDS chapter and owner of J Squared Home Designs, we explore how strategic volunteerism and intentional networking can become your most powerful business-building tools - without spending a dime on marketing budgets. LuAnn Nigara and Juliana Ewer’s Ah-Ha Moments: "If you're gonna go to something, don't be a tourist, jump in, right? Don't just show up to the meeting and sit in the back and, you know, meet people." - Juliana "You can't buy that kind of marketing, really. You can't buy people's trust and you can't show up enough.” - Juliana "It’s a long tail thing…You would never add it up and go, that was worth all that time. But you know, we still get business from it 20 years later.” - LuAnn More About Juliana Ewer Juliana Ewer is an Award-Winning Interior Designer, and the Owner/Lead Designer at J Squared Home Designs, founded in 2018.
