KCB Boiler Room Podcast
From the After Hours to the Breakfast Clubs, host Kevin Cradock, along with his In-House Storyteller Corey Nuffer, resurrect the Boiler Room events with a hard listen to the recordings of the events. From there we pick key moments we wish we could have asked guests to say more. We’ll also record Boiler Room-adjacent episodes featuring our own team, our mill shop, and other germane content.

Kristen Rivoli Discusses Interior Design
Two years after a panel we hosted about why you should work with interior designers, we invited panelist and interior designer Kristen Rivoli back to the Boiler Room to reminisce, as well as to check in about how things have changed.
The three clips we listened to from the original panel:
- Kevin’s strong feelings on interior designers (16:02);
- Kristen’s ideas on how to find a designer if you’re a builder (32:00);
- and the importance of being on the same page with everything before the client gets wedded to something (49:00).
Kristen’s “Boombox Story” also came up, with special mention of her “Mixtape Story,” featuring “I Alone,” by Live’s best album, Throwing Copper, back when she was “dating her husband.” Pearl Jam, the Police, and the Beastie Boys also got a shoutout. We were getting major Nora Ephron vibes.
Note: we jumped right into this episode with Kristen and Kevin reminiscing about the panel almost as soon as she walked through the front door. Quick to hit the “record” button, this meant we didn’t get the formal introduction to this episode. The subject matter—introducing designers to builders—is something both Kevin and Kristen feel particularly passionate about, so things quickly took off, and the vibe was just too good to interrupt.
