Jay Goltz

Caroline Scheeler

As a young person, Jay Goltz tested well in math, so people said he should become an accountant. But after earning an accounting degree Jay decided what he really wanted to do was start a framing business, which went on to become the largest in the nation before before expanding into the home decor scene with Chicago's legendary store Jayson Home, which he co-founded with creative director Caroline Scheeler. Together they have the professional acumen and artistic taste to operate at least 20 stores, but they have chosen instead to maintain one brilliant store with the utmost care, precision and love. This week Jay and Caroline dropped by the studio to talk with the Creative Muscle hosts about Russian TVs, heavy stoves, "selling out," why creatives should respect math, the one place you can count on people to tell the truth, and why co-workers are NOT the same thing as family. Take a listen and be inspired!

Interview: Jayson Home - Jay Goltz and Caroline Scheeler

Devin Kirk

Have you ever become friends with someone right before you move away to a new city? Someone that you really connect with and makes you laugh and just gets you? And you ask yourself (and them), “WHHHHHY have we been living in this city so long and not known each other??” It’s sorta like when you were little and you met your new best friend at summer camp and then summer was over and you had to go your separate ways. And while you might be thinking about one another, you never really talk again. Well, that was then. And now, Skype exists. So let me introduce you to this week’s guest.  It’s Devin Kirk. He’s the VP of Merchandising (which means he gets to travel the world picking out cool stuff) at Jayson Home. If you’ve ever picked up a magazine and seen the couch of your dreams…chances are it’s credited to Jayson Home. I met him right before I left Chicago. He’s the best for 100 reasons, but mainly because he references Dolly Parton and Oprah stories in the same episode.  Listen in to hear us discuss the things we had to eat, the people we thought were neat, and all the things that made us say sheeeeet. And then find all the links below.  Here’s Devin:  Listen and subscribe in iTunesListen and subscribe in Stitcher  *Photos above courtesy of Devin and Jayson Home’s Instagram    SHEEETMaking A Murderer SWEETLee John Phillips NEATBetween The World And Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates TWEETAretha Sings “Natural Woman” and the reactions ANDJayson Home Website + Instagram Anything that freaked your week?!Share it in the comments or tweet it to me and tag it with #freakedmyweek.
