Bob Maricich revolutionized the market landscape when he merged the failing World Market Center in Las Vegas with three of High Point’s biggest properties to form the International Market Centers, now known as Andmore, in 2011. Eventually, he brought Atlanta’s AmericasMart and Decorative Arts Center into the fold as well. In the last two years, the former CEO has taken a step back from Andmore’s daily operations, transitioning into the role of Executive Chairman of the Board, yet his finger remains on the pulse of the furniture industry and its future.
On this episode of the podcast, Maricich speaks with host Dennis Scully about his peripatetic career backstory, the benefits of partnering with private equity firms, and where he thinks AI will have the biggest impact.

Raised on a farm in rural Alabama, Jeffrey Dungan found architecture almost by accident, when a guidance counselor suggested it might suit his love of drawing. After studying at Auburn, he went on to build a Birmingham-based practice known for deeply rooted, highly personal houses. His work has appeared in Architectural Digest, Veranda and The New York Times, and his new book, The Soulful House, was just published by Rizzoli. On this episode of the podcast, Dungan speaks with host Dennis Scully about how growing up on his family's farm shaped his love of the land, why he rewards his team for working efficiently, and how he's structured his firm for the future.
