Episode 305 with Bob Ustanik

Bob is another one for the Bellevue count, but he went rep route after a bit of time trying out the firm life. We’ll talk about his journey to being a manufacturers rep and why it works for him. We talk some about the political climate and the industry, some of the systemic issues that are hindering the growth of Interior Design, and as always the importance of networking!
