Delighted to have Garrow Kedigian back with us today, sharing what his life is like "away from the office".  Listen and read over his interview here then explore his Website here Join me now as we get to chat with a good friend and a former guest on the show Garrow Kedigian.   James:                          It's my pleasure to welcome back to the show Garrow Kedigian. Garrow, it's great having you back, welcome.   Garrow:                       Hi, James. How are you? It's a pleasure to be with you.   James:                          I am well. I'm much better now that you're here and technology is working. And I'm looking forward to a great follow chat with you. For our listeners who may just be meeting you for the first time Garrow, tell them a little bit about you and a little bit about the business that you run.   Garrow:                       Sure. I am a New York City based interior designer. And I'm originally from Montreal, Canada. And I worked for William Hodgins in Boston for six years before I moved to the Big Apple back in 2000. And I've had my own business here for about 17 years. I do architecture and interior design. So I sort of combine the two fields. Mainly my scope of work now is high residential interior work in New York and the New York area.   James:                          And you shuttle back and forth a bit home, don’t you?   Garrow:                       I do indeed. Recently I bought a house in Montreal, right in the heart of the city, which is a beautiful neighborhood called the Golden Square Mile. I go as often as I can, actually.   James:                          Well, after seeing some of the photos of the house there, I don’t blame you. It's pretty beautiful. And if we may give a plug to your Instagram feed for our followers who haven’t followed Garrow, I highly recommend it.   Garrow:                       Absolutely.   James:                          Not only beautiful projects, but you get to see peek into his place in Montreal.   Garrow:                       And I do some videos of it too sometimes from time to time.   James:                          You do. I've just noticed those recently. You're braver than I am. I haven’t quite stepped over that threshold yet, but I'm going to get there.   Garrow:                       Actually, once you do it, it's addictive, so you get into it and then you're like: oh, this is fun.   James:                          Everybody says that. Well, needless to say you're a busy man, lots going on, all of it exciting. And we're always thrilled to follow the beautiful things that you're creating and putting out into the world. But we're curious to learn – well, just to take the conversation in a little bit different direction. So talk to me for a moment, we're really curious to learn how our guests believe or feel that they are perceived in this world and in their professional life.   So talk to us for a minute Garrow, let’s start with staff, the people that you work with every day. How do you feel your staff perceives you?   Garrow:                       Well, I think they see me as an absolute perfectionist. And I feel like sometimes that bothers them, because you know nothing is ever really good enough to send out to clients. I always have to review it re-review it a dozen times. I think everyone around me sees that I have a passion for what I'm doing, and they can appreciate that.   And they can understand why I'm very rigorous in the types of plans, or drawings, or sketches, or whatever we send out to them, done thoroughly, and sort of exactingly. I'm very fastidious that way.   James:                          Switch over now and talk to us a little bit about how you feel your clients?   Garrow:                       Well, I guess they think I'm a neurotic. I had just an email yesterday from a client, and she’s like, you know,
