  Tiffany Woolley: So for today's iDesign Lab tidbit, it's kind of more not necessarily a design tidbit that we're answering or diving into, but more diving into how design is a huge role in our life, in many aspects of our existence.
• 1:18
  Tiffany Woolley: And it just reiterated why we call the podcast iDesign.
• 1:28
  Scott Woolley: The iDesignLab.
• 1:28
  Scott Woolley: The iDesign Lab why we actually started this podcast Right.
• 1:30
  Tiffany Woolley: So initially, obviously I'm an interior designer, so iDesign Lab came from.
• 1:36
  Tiffany Woolley: You know the philosophy that.
• 1:38
  Tiffany Woolley: You know a design studio is kind of a laboratory for an interior designer.
• 1:45
  Tiffany Woolley: It's where we have all of our items, all of our samples, all of the things that it takes to pull together and curate a perfect project.
• 1:53
  Tiffany Woolley: So it's our laboratory.
• 1:55
  Tiffany Woolley: And you know, initially we started this podcast with it just being design focused and design centered.
• 2:03
  Tiffany Woolley: And, being a podcast lover that I am and loving everybody's story and how they curate their own life and lifestyle, we found, between Scott's entrepreneurial background and the many businesses that he has been involved in through the years, that we could really take this podcast and grow it to many facets of our design life besides home interiors.
• 2:30
  Scott Woolley: Well, when you think about it, we're actually every morning, when we're getting up and getting dressed, we're designing how we're looking.
• 2:37
  Tiffany Woolley: Designing how we dress.
• 2:38
  Tiffany Woolley: So you're starting your day off Designing our breakfast.
• 2:41
  Tiffany Woolley: You know, what do we have in the refrigerator?
• 2:43
  Tiffany Woolley: What do we have in the pantry?
• 2:43
  Scott Woolley: Well, how we're putting our food on the plate, all of it.
• 2:46
  Scott Woolley: It's almost to a degree.
• 2:47
  Scott Woolley: Most people are designing because they like to have this here, the vegetables over here, so it's designing.
• 2:54
  Tiffany Woolley: Every facet of our existence is a design detail and a design element and has a curated evolution.
• 3:03
  Scott Woolley: Just your schedule, how you're going to take your day and what you're doing, our diet, how your calendar.
• 3:09
  Tiffany Woolley: Our philosophy, our attitude, everything is a conscious decision and wherever there's a conscious decision, you're designing.
• 3:17
  Tiffany Woolley: And so, as I just mentioned, I'm a podcast.
• 3:21
  Tiffany Woolley: I say junkie, I love it.
• 3:23
  Tiffany Woolley: And as we began a new year, I said I'm going to do Catechism in a Year podcast which is just a 15-minute tidbit every day.
• 3:35
  Tiffany Woolley: Everybody who does know me or gets to know me knows that my faith is extremely important to me and I thought I'm spending so much time listening and curating and creating podcasts.
• 3:46
  Tiffany Woolley: Let me do one that is meaningful.
• 3:48
  Tiffany Woolley: I design my schedule, let me design my morning to include this podcast.
• 3:55
  Scott Woolley: Well, most people think about design like interior design or designing a car, how the car is designed.
• 4:05
  Tiffany Woolley: Yeah, what package.
• 4:05
  Scott Woolley: How something is made and the packaging and so forth, or the design of a logo.
• 4:10
  Scott Woolley: You know graphic design, oh my goodness.
• 4:13
  Scott Woolley: But what people don't think about is all the other aspects of life and everything around them.
• 4:17
  Scott Woolley: You know design, who is put into it?
• 4:20
  Scott Woolley: How a podcast, little studio looks Came together.
• 4:23
  Scott Woolley: Was a design.
• 4:24
  Tiffany Woolley: So, as I started this podcast journey for this catechism in a year, shout out to Father Mike I.
• 4:31
  Tiffany Woolley: I heard them bring up the and I'm not going to explain it the way it was explained to me.
• 4:40
  Tiffany Woolley: I'm only going to be able to regurgitate it in the way I internalized it.
• 4:43
  Tiffany Woolley: But wherever there is something, a thing, an idea, there was a designer.
• 4:54
  Tiffany Woolley: So literally everything in our life.
• 4:58
  Tiffany Woolley: So there is a planet and the designer of the planet is our heavenly father.
• 5:03
  Tiffany Woolley: Like literally every, it's almost like an action and a reaction.
• 5:08
  Tiffany Woolley: So when you really think of where design can take you, when you think of that awe-expiring aspect of how vast this planet, this galaxy, this world we live in and everything has a designer, I was like aha, moment 2025, wow, we are on the right track.
• 5:36
  Scott Woolley: So you know what's going on in the news right now with our new President Trump Hooray, president Trump.
• 5:42
  Scott Woolley: But everything he's doing is redesigning how this country is going to run, operate and how it's going to operate.
• 5:48
  Scott Woolley: So the guests that we're you know, that we have scheduled over the next weeks and months come from all different walks of life and most people, really, when you think about what they do or what they did, you don't think of them as a designer.
• 6:03
  Tiffany Woolley: No.
• 6:04
  Scott Woolley: But when you look at what they've done and what they're doing, they've designed pretty much everything and what they've done in their life.
• 6:12
  Scott Woolley: And I would have to say the more— and there's great stories in every one of those.
• 6:16
  Tiffany Woolley: All of these stories are special and there's so many tidbits to take from all of them and they all are worth listening to because there's so much value in how people arrive at destinations throughout their life.
• 6:29
  Tiffany Woolley: You know the little places that we all journey through.
• 6:34
  Tiffany Woolley: It all has a design element.
• 6:38
  Scott Woolley: Right.
• 6:38
  Scott Woolley: So the conversation about design is not just educational.
• 6:42
  Scott Woolley: The journey that people have taken it's.
• 6:46
  Tiffany Woolley: It's by design.
• 6:47
  Scott Woolley: Correct.
