Erin Coren and Lina Galvao: Curated Nest: Scaling an Interior Design Business to $5 Million
Today With Erin Coren and Lina Galvao:
Today, I am joined by Erin Coren and Lina Galvao, co-owners of the Curated Nest. With Erin as Creative Director and Lina as the Director of Business Development, Curated Nest is a complete partnership. Both ladies bring value to the table, collaborating in what has resulted in a growth of 500k to almost 5 million.
Erin and Lina joined forces in 2016 and have continued to grow since then. I’m honored that they said they used this podcast’s value and resources as part of their journey. Of course, they, themselves, have contributed much to their business in the form of transferable skills, talent, and professionalism.
Listen in to learn their secrets to scaling!
