114: Embracing Opportunities & Connections with Jen and Mike of HGTV’s Houses with History

I’m thrilled to welcome Designer Jen Macdonald and General Contractor Mike Lemieux of HGTV’s Houses with History to the podcast. They share with us how they got into the industry and how they ended up with the amazing opportunity to host a show. We also talk about the energy of homes, calling in homes and the perfect items for them, and the deep connections homes can have with their occupants. Mike and Jen’s passion for what they do and their willingness to be open to whatever comes their way is inspiring, so this is a must-listen for all designers!

You can watch Houses with History on HGTV cable on demand, Discover Plus, or Max. The last few episodes of season 2 air on Saturday, June 24 on HGTV from 11-2PM ET.
