Joining Sid on this Hot Takes episode is Janeen Waddell of Navitas Credit. Together they challenge a few “normal” habits in the contract furniture world that quietly slow projects down and frustrate buyers. They also dig into why speed, financing, and follow-up are not extras, they are the work that creates certainty and keeps relationships strong.
