Hey Ya'll! I'm John,
Award-winning interior designer. Business coach. Author. Speaker. Podcast Host of The McClain Method.
I built a multi-seven-figure design firm—and now I help other designers skip the mistakes I made. Like charging $50/hour, doing it all myself, and waiting for clients to magically find me.
This 5-day private podcast is exactly what I wish someone had handed me when I was starting out.
“Wow, did my processes suck!”
I’ve never heard anyone explain the client experience so clearly. I’ve already revamped my onboarding process—and it finally feels professional.
– JESSICA D.
“I've never learned so much from in about 10 minutes a day lol...”
This podcast completely shifted how I see my value. I used to undercharge constantly—now I price based on the transformation I deliver. Total game-changer.
– ANN M.
“I feel seen!”
This series felt like John was in my head. He talked about every fear I’ve had as a new designer—and gave me the tools to finally move forward.

What You'll Learn in 5 Short-but Powerful Lessons:
Episode 1:
The Biggest Mistake I Made When I Started My Design Business
In the 1st episode, I reveal how undercharging didn’t just affect my bank account—it wrecked my brand, drained my energy, and attracted the wrong clients.
We’ll dive into why pricing isn’t just about numbers—it’s about positioning, confidence, and stepping into the role of CEO.
Episode 2:
How I’d Get My First Interior Design Client (Without Working For Free or Guesswork)
In this episode, I walk you through the exact strategy I’d use today to land a paying design client—without posting and praying or begging your friends to refer you. It starts with having one powerful, clear offer—and knowing how to talk about it.
Episode 3:
The Mindset Shift That Changed Everything
I'm sharing the mindset that transformed my business (and my life). Plus, I tell the true story of a moment when I literally took money out of my own pocket—because I was afraid to bill a client. Sound familiar?
Episode 4:
The Secret to Client Experience That Sells Itself
Today’s episode is all about what happens after the client says yes. Because getting hired is just the beginning. Delivering an incredible experience? That’s what builds referrals, rave reviews, and recurring revenue.
Episode 5:
The One Decision That Changes Everything
In this final episode, I’m showing you how to build a business that works for you—not the other way around. This is where everything we’ve talked about comes together: your pricing, your offer, your mindset, your client experience.
