Alison Kenworthy and Michael Koenigs are the couple behind YouTube sensation Homeworthy. Both came from the world of TV news—she was a producer on Good Morning America, he worked for ABC. But in 2019, Kenworthy left it all behind to launch Homeworthy, starting off by filming home tours on her own with an iPhone. After a slow start, it took off, and in six short years the channel has amassed almost 800,000 followers, putting out hundreds of tours with top designers and celebrities alike. 

On this episode of the podcast, Kenworthy and Koenigs speak with host Dennis Scully about why Homeworthy got popular once its content got longer, the secrets of a good home tour, and why YouTube is the future of media.

Founded in the 1980s by designer Mark Moussa, in four decades Arteriors has grown from a boutique decor company into a global brand focused on the trade. CEO John Hart joined the company in 2024, after the Covid home boom had faded away—he’s revamped the C-suite, re-focused Arteriors on product, and is looking to make a big splash at High Point Market this spring.   

In this episode, Hart speaks with host Dennis Scully about why tariffs didn’t change the company’s business as much as you’d think; why he’s not betting on a housing turnaround; and why, in a time where everyone else is trying to go further up the market, he’s happy for Arteriors to stay exactly where it is.

Though Sarah Robertson was drawn to design from an early age, she took a more practical route at first, earning an MBA from Northwestern and then working as a consultant at McKinsey & Company. But eventually her creative side won out: after purchasing properties and renovating historic homes in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood with her mother, she left consulting behind and launched Studio Dearborn. Since then, Robertson has built a reputation for kitchens that are as functional as they are beautiful, earning recognition as both an award-winning designer and a thoughtful voice in the industry.

On this episode of the podcast Robertson and her son Owen—who recently became Studio Dearborn’s second employee—speak to host Dennis Scully from the garage studio of their Mamaroneck, New York, home. They discuss Robertson’s roundabout path to design, the Amish cabinetmakers she can’t live without, and the organizational ethos that guides her.
