What's up guys, welcome back to another episode of Monocrasmin.

This week we have an interior designer on the podcast, something a little bit different.

Michael Fruzelko owns a firm here in Boston, Massachusetts.

We have worked together in the past.

He started his career in finance, I think he said, yeah, finance.

Went to France, basically came back and said, screw this, I want to be an interior designer,

something he set out to do when he was a kid, his dad actually talked them out of it.

But talks about, you know, really honing into the market that you really wanted to be in,

and understanding what that meant from, even from a financial standpoint.

And we dig into money in the sense of like the evil that behind it, but also the reality

of how important it is, of course being a profitable business, but also how you can attract

some of the higher end clientele if that's the clientele you are going after.

Yeah, it was an interesting conversation because it's not his first career.

He made that career change.

So by the time he started this business, I think he said late 30s, early 40s,

and he was kind of starting off at ground zero and establishing this business and didn't really

have that much experience doing this. So it was interesting to hear kind of how he took his business

and grew his business and what was important to him at 40 something rather than a lot of the people

that we speak with who start their business as much earlier. So it was a good perspective that

was different. A lot of generalities, life, business, but it was just interesting to hear somebody

where it was kind of their second career getting into this.

Well, you want to enter your design firm in Boston?
