On today’s podcast, musician and Artistic Director of the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM), Andrew Walesch shares how MIM offers a hands-on, immersive experience that celebrates music’s role in shaping history and human connection.
BACK STORY
Like a good many before him, singer and pianist Andrew Walesch somehow manages to encapsulate the sophistication of a cosmopolite and the self-effacing charm of a country boy.
Whether composing and arranging or appearing in settings ranging from solo artist to big band, this Minnesota native, who crisscrosses the country playing dates big and small, is as respectful of his predecessors as he is ready to take a leap into the unknown and chart a new course.
In his monthly, sold-out shows with his 10-piece band, Walesch is a traditionalist and an iconoclast rolled into one. His audiences include jazz enthusiasts of a certain age, as well as a younger crowd compelled by his down-home insouciance, and the knowing irreverence of a tried-and-true American nightclub entertainer. “Although they are my idols, I don’t attempt to imitate the great pop and jazz artists of the 50’s and 60’s,” says the singer and pianist, “but I go for broke when we do our shows -- vocally and musically — which is what they all did best and why they were in a class of their own."
His vocal and piano chops, along with his keen sensibility to find and interpret a great lyric, have led to some great opportunities for Walesch, including an appearance on the nationally syndicated NPR broadcast Mountain Stage and more recently, an invitation to perform at the 33rd Annual Cabaret Convention at the Rose Theater at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City.

BACK STORY
Originally from Vancouver, Canada, Tim McBride pursued a career in professional sports and entertainment upon earning undergraduate and graduate degrees in the field.

In addition to The Change Agent Golf Classic, Tim also heads the Homes for Good Foundation, a purpose driven movement of independent real estate professionals designed to tell a much bigger story beyond the transaction and be a catalyst for inspiration, impact and the transformation in our neighborhoods and communities. Where every real estate transaction means immediate local impact.

Are you tired of dressing in sun protective clothing that has no fashion sense? On today’s podcast, Kristine & Addy Thompson, mother and daughter team, share their journey to creating a fashion brand, NINI, that puts the cute and stylish into sun protective clothing. Plus, they share their first venture into entrepreneurship for the duo.
BACK STORY
Kristine and Addison, a dynamic mother-daughter duo whose passion for an active lifestyle under the sun led to the creation of a revolutionary fashion brand. Nestled in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona, Kristine and Addison's journey began with a shared love for outdoor activities – whether it was engaging in spirited games of pickleball, strolling through the charming streets of Paris, or simply savoring a cocktail on their favorite patio.
In their pursuit of the perfect ensemble for sun-soaked adventures with friends, Kristine and Addison encountered a gap in the market. Despite the abundance of options, none quite met their criteria for a blend of fashion, comfort, and sun protection. Undeterred by the lack of suitable choices, the duo embarked on a mission to create Nini, a brand committed to designing the ideal pieces they themselves desired.

Do you want to dial up your success in the new year? Publisher Renee Dee shares her annual chat on how to make the year ahead the best yet with her Live Beautifully wheel and how she uses it to create results for herself.
On today’s podcast, Renee leads the conversation in a solocast.
BACK STORY
Always interested in personal development, Renee Dee got her coaching certification in 2010 to help bring out the best in others and to keep her eye on bringing out the best in herself…an ongoing journey. In her coaching training, she learned about the life wheel, which is a coaching tool designed to measure where you are and where you want to go in your life, usually with eight segments of what looks like an evenly sliced graphic pizza.
As she’s evolved, it occurred to her that there are six segments that matter most, and she’s reimagined the traditional wheel in her own way to inspire Living Beautifully.
On today’s podcast, she talks about how she uses the wheel and provides tips on how you can use it to create the new year that you want.

BACK STORY
Toxic ingredients in our skincare, in our homes and in our food can lead to a host of health complications like inflammatory conditions, chronic disease, depression, fatigue and even cancer.
A new generation is leading the charge asking questions about what is in the products we use or the food we eat, leading to a more enlightened consumer who cares about the products they purchase and use.
One young entrepreneur has been called to offer an alternative approach to skincare. On today’s podcast, Spencer Dee talks with his mom, podcast host Renee Dee, about his two-year journey to clear his skin and find a product that has more benefit than harm. His belief is that all organic ingredients with powerful natural benefits can not only create results for your skin but also for your overall health, given that your skin is the largest organ of the body.

Paul Dahmen is the Gallery Director at Markowicz Fine Art’s third location in Laguna Niguel, California. He was inspired to start painting with oil and acrylic paints by the age of nine with the encouragement of his grandmother, who had painted her entire life. However, an artist’s life was not in the cards for him because he could not get through a university drawing class to save his life.
Dahmen graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature and Art History from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. He moved to Los Angeles after his studies to work in the film and television industry, and did so for over a decade, with the goal of working in the arts in some capacity in the future.
Although he couldn’t draw, his passion for the arts never diminished. He decided he would prefer representing artists in a gallery setting to help “connect the dots” between art collectors and artist’s creations. This true passion led him to Laguna Beach to actively pursue his art gallery career.

Lake & Skye began when founder Courtney Somer had her first daughter and learned to use the power of essential oils for healing. A long-time lover of fragrance and aromatherapy, she created simple and intentional blends, a creative outlet with a purpose that complimented motherhood. Somer envisioned the blends as gifts to give yourself to use throughout the day, whether you needed an extra boost of confidence, a moment of gratitude or to balance mind and body.
Courtney spent more than ten years studying a variety of alternative healing methods, including aromatherapy, reiki, nutrition and meditation. Inspired by what she had learned, Somer launched Lake & Skye, a modern and conscious fragrance line named for her two children.
In addition to caring about the health of the body, Lake & Skye also puts an emphasis on caring for the earth, sustainability and giving back. The fragrance brand sources their natural essential oils and floral waters from ethical farms around the world, and they are vegan and cruelty-free, containing no parabens, sulfates, phthalates or palm oil.
Today, Courtney joins Renee Dee on ICONIC Hour to share the story behind her inspired fragrances and how she’s changing the industry with aromatherapy and sustainable scents.

Jane Poynter and Taber MacCallum, the husband-and-wife team behind Space Perspective, are on a mission to take on the perception of adrenalin-fueled space travel and invite more people than has historically been possible to ride the wave of space history and be transformed by seeing our beautiful Earth in space.
The couple has been responsible for some of the most remarkable breakthroughs in space innovation and exploration in the last 20 years. They were founding crew members of Biosphere 2, an artificial, enclosed ecosystem designed to mirror Earth’s biosphere to test the viability of maintaining human life in outer space. Founders of Paragon Space Development Corporation: the Human Life Support Systems Company perfected technologies seen on most human spacecraft including the International Space Station and acted as technical advisors to Elon Musk on human spaceflight before SpaceX was a reality. They led team StratEx (Stratospheric Exploration) that invented a self-contained spacesuit and recovery program that could allow human exploration of the stratosphere at 100,000 ft and saw Alan Eustace, a senior Google engineer, set the world record for human spaceflight propelled by a spaceballoon at 136,000 ft — breaking previous world records in 2014, and a record which remains unchallenged today. Most recently, the couple were behind the Silicon Valley-backed stratosphere balloon technology company World View Enterprises with its revolutionary un-crewed Stratollite for communications and remote sensing.
In this episode, Jane and Taber share their vision for space exploration, making space accessible to consumers, and what’s next in the space race.

Sisters Tess Loo and Ann Siner were all about the cyclical fashion movement before it was “cool”, in fact, no one wanted to lease them space for their first upscale consignment shop. They revolutionized the concept, creating high-end boutiques that were current, and common-sense business practices. They have since grown to nine consignment shops across Arizona and California, ranging from womenswear to menswear, to furniture.
Their plan is to continue locating new markets, offering the finest inventory available, and doing everything possible to keep our customers and consigners happy.

One of the most influential urbanists of all time, Doug Farr is a legend in his own right. He co-chaired the development of the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) and has served on the boards of urban sustainability organizations including the Congress for the New Urbanism, Bioregional, EcoDistricts, and Elevate Energy. Based on his pioneering sustainable design practice, Doug authored two urban planning best-sellers Sustainable Urbanism: Urban Design with Nature and Sustainable Nation: Urban Design Patterns for the Future.
Doug’s insights have been celebrated internationally, and he speaks regularly at world-class conferences. His design philosophy is centered on the notion that the world needs to change, and we are the ones to initiate it. According to Doug, change should start with the end in mind, and that end is carbon neutrality. How can we get there? By working together. By holding ourselves accountable. By modifying our habits. Shifting the industry. And ultimately, redefining our conception of beauty to include health, happiness, and equity.

Ryan built the Alchemy Bar in his home, a personal place to entertain like-minded connoisseurs of the finest mixology...of course, crafted by Ryan. While his profession is building, his passion is creating craft drinks and learning and knowing everything he can about proper technique, making clear ice and distilleries around the world.
In this episode of ICONIC HOUR, Renee Dee talks with Ryan about his occupation as a builder and owner of Fire Eagle Builders, LLC., which encompasses his love for bringing design into reality. As an expert of bringing pieces together into a beautiful creation, it also makes sense that he has a side passion for delicious mixology.

Kentucky born & bred, Chad Perkins and Sara Ahlgrim grew up surrounded by bourbon culture, which developed a serious interest in the spirit in their early 20s. The launch of a local Lexington, KY bourbon bar brought them together, sparking a friendship and a partnered exploration of the whiskey world.
In 2016, their combined passions for bourbon and video production led to the creation of their own YouTube channel, It's Bourbon Night, focused on celebrating America’s only native spirit. Their content is designed to encourage the discovery of the whiskey universe.
In this episode of ICONIC HOUR, Renee Dee delves into the couple’s love story, passion for collectible bourbon, and their bourbon bunker. In the words of Chad and Sara, “there’s no bottle shaming!”

Fashion designer Kevan Hall’s creative eye, elegant perspective, and intuitive design process make him any fashion lover’s best friend. Rather than worshiping trends or creating designs that speak more about him than the wearer, Hall’s penchant for glamour and understanding of the psyche and style of a woman wanting to look her best are his greatest assets.
In this episode of ICONIC HOUR, Renee Dee talks with Kevan Hall about his fashion inspiration, the decision to resurrect the house dress as a form of “above the keyboard dress” and the importance of focusing on black creatives in this time where the narrative of racial inequality has gotten louder.
Brad Leavitt of A Finer Touch Construction is making great strides in the building industry with an understanding that what he builds is more than just a home for his clients. His builds reflect a place or time that holds special meaning; the architecture and character speak to a certain aesthetic style, and, above all else, fulfill the unique lifestyle of a family.
In this episode of ICONIC HOUR, Renee Dee and Brad Leavitt delve into the sustainable design trends and an upcoming project. This project, referred to as the Desert Comfort House, will be a sustainable, net- zero energy building design that produces at least as much renewable energy as it consumes on an annual basis. In other words, it must produce one unit of energy for each unit of energy it consumes over the course of a year.

Four Landscape Hotels We’re Loving
Entertaining Without Borders
Concepting, designing and building a hotel from the ground up is no easy feat even for the most seasoned hoteliers, so for two sisters from the small resort town of Sedona, Ariz., the thought that their first endeavor would cause a global industry stir was nothing short of a dream come true.
Ambiente, A Landscape Hotel, will be North America’s first “landscape hotel” when the property opens this December. It was created by Jennifer May and Colleen Tebrake over their parent’s kitchen table with the encouragement and guidance of their father, Mike Stevenson, a successful entrepreneur and 37-year Northern Arizona business owner. Growing up, the two sisters had watched their father build a successful business and were inspired by his industrious and outstanding example. What began as a conversation with their father over a unique hotel concept turned into a passion project. With their father’s help and encouragement, the two sisters formally put Ambiente into motion in 2017 and founded Two Sister Bosses, a luxury hotel development and management company headquartered in Sedona.
In recent months, Ambiente made worldwide news after being named amongst “The 40 Most Anticipated Luxury Hotel Openings for 2020” by Forbes, “2020’s Most Anticipated Hotel Openings” by Fortune and “The Best-Designed New Hotels of 2020” by Architectural Digest, among others. Plus, features have ranged from Lonely Planet and Travel + Leisure to Conde Nast Traveler and Departures.
The highly anticipated hotel features 40 cube-shaped, luxury guest Atriums elevated above the ground by steel piers and encased in bronze glass to give the appearance that the structures are floating.
“Our vision is for Ambiente to attract travelers from around the globe who will experience the wonders of Sedona in a whole new way,” said May.

Sustainable Design with Anita Lang
Healthy on the Run
Shannon started her career in interior design at a furniture boutique + full service design firm in Cherry Creek of Denver, Colorado. There she worked on high end residential homes and smaller commercial spaces for clients throughout the city.
Since then, Shannon has envisioned and co-founded a residential development firm, Fuse Living. With a few new construction developments under her belt, she then decided to open a second branch of the company offering full service interior design packages to both residential clients as well as other developers, builders and architects.
The passion that drives Shannon is human health and sustainability. She is a certified GREENleader (certification from SFI, Sustainable Furnishings Council), and a Green Associate (certification from USGBC, United States Green Building Council), incorporating sustainability measures like energy savings and healthy indoor air quality into the Fuse Living projects. She also studies topics of environmental psychology: the relationship between humans and our built environment. She believes that, in our fast paced and technological world, it is of upmost importance to offset the negative effects that come from technology by creating spaces and homes that allow for brain restoration and a sense of place.
Shannon’s key roles include project visions, design implementation, general project oversight, general contractor coordination, design team coordination. Shannon has a love for people and a passion for smart, beautiful, practical, and innovative design.

Four Luxe Landscape Hotels
Jerry Meek is the President of Desert Star Construction celebrating 42 years in business. He is honored to lead what has been defined by clients and industry colleagues as “the best team in the luxury home business.” Jerry is known for building great teams and constructing the most complicated custom luxury projects by putting people before profits. The combined annual sales revenue of DSC clients’ companies is in excess of $3.6 trillion dollars and growing, affirming Jerry’s belief, "We're not just building the American Dream – we're living it."
Desert Star Construction was born with a focus on excellence and integrity, advancing from the construction and remodel jobs “that no one else wanted” to becoming an award-winning landmark commodity that regularly completes Arizona’s most prestigious Personal Resorts®. The last decade has been focused on continuous growth and expansion of the DSC brand, leading to the creation of Desert Star Concierge® in 2015, a proactive maintenance company for DSC built projects as well as homes built by others.
In the process, DSC's results have been published in more than 30 magazines and earned honors such as multiple Gold Nugget Awards, Phoenix Home & Garden Home of the Year, Southwest Contractor, and NAHB Custom Home of the Year. In 2017, Jerry was the first-ever luxury custom home builder to receive Phoenix Home & Garden's Master of the Southwest, an award program in its 27th year that recognizes the best in design and craftsmanship.
What means the most to Jerry is the relationships he has built with his clients and teams. Community involvement has been a wonderful byproduct of these relationships with great opportunities to assist others. One such rewarding accomplishment was being the founding president of the Phoenix Dream Center Foundation. In this role, Team DSC® received the Heart of Business Award and Community Spirit Award for building a new commercial kitchen that has since served over 5.5 million meals to individuals in addiction recovery, human trafficking, and foster care programs.
Jerry continues to enjoy time with Carol, his wife of almost 40 years, and their two adult sons, Jeremy and Jonathan. He loves travel, hiking and the outdoors. He is honored to be a guest speaker at various colleges and loves to help others succeed. He has written two books, one of which we discuss today: “Be Great ...Before It’s Two Late.”

Take a Hike: Best Hiking Spots in the World
Life is like an auction: you get your best returns if you don’t set a reserve on it. The foremost “auctiontainer” who works with premier nonprofits such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation®, Letitia Frye knows how important it is to designate auctions as “no reserve,” or without a minimum bid. What’s more, she’s learned how crucial it is to approach life this way as well. When there is no perceived limitation, there is room for chance—as in, unlimited opportunities for success. Having worked her way to the top of a male-dominated industry, left a turbulent marriage to build a high-profile career as a single mom, suffered the devastating losses of her ex-husband and her plus-one child, and survived a traumatic brain injury, Letitia has bounced back from tragedy and beaten the odds multiple times and emerged stronger, more confident, and more successful. In No Reserve, she shares eleven key strategies that will help readers stop limiting themselves in all their endeavors—their career, their relationships, and their personal growth. As readers will discover, you can have everything you want in life, but you have to stop looking for opportunities to come to you, or for the road suddenly to become easier. Oftentimes, you have to make your own path: do the work before getting paid for it, create your own network by mentoring others, and give generously of yourself when you think you have little or nothing to offer. By implementing these and other principles, you will learn to build an authentic, absolute life in which you create the value you deserve.

It is said the one thing that stays constant is CHANGE.
We have seen more change in the last 30 days than I’ve ever experienced in my life., and we are our normal lives and our super-social ways.
My greatest hope for all of us is that the light at the end of the tunnel is starting to get brighter.
During these challenging times, I’ve been thinking about how I can make a difference and help others. I’m not a front-line healthcare worker or a volunteer at a food bank. What I am is a marketing expert, full of knowledge and ideas, passionate about helping others and motivated to make a difference.
As we prepare to get back to work when the time is right, I offer my 30 years of marketing expertise and business coaching experience to help us get ready to make the magic happen again.

Meal Delivery Services for Staying at Home
Online Culinary School
Chef Lisa Dahl is one of the country’s leading female chefs and restaurateurs who has pioneered the culinary scene in Sedona, Ariz. for the past 20 years. Dahl is the executive chef and owner of four outstanding restaurants in Northern Arizona’s red rock country where she has earned international acclaim for Dahl & Di Luca Ristorante Italiano, Cucina Rustica, Pisa Lisa, Mariposa Latin Inspired Grill and Butterfly Burger. This week, she launched Dahl-to-Door national meal delivery.
After shedding her life in the Bay Area and a career in the fashion industry following the loss of her son Justin, Dahl sought healing and moved to Sedona, a town famous for its spiritual energy and restorative powers. Once settled, she unearthed her long-held passion for cooking, one that she and Justin shared. Honoring Justin’s memory is part of each of her restaurants.
A James Beard House-featured chef, Dahl is widely credited for Sedona’s emergence as a national “foodie destination.” As a self-taught chef, Dahl was the first to introduce fine dining to Sedona in the late ‘90s with the opening of Dahl & Di Luca and has since expanded to become the largest restaurant group in the area with accolades spanning the culinary spectrum.
Dahl’s cooking style is diverse and includes high-end traditional Italian, rustic Mediterranean, South American-inspired and wood-fired pizza, considered among the best in Arizona. She’s also a grill master and just won Arizona’s “2018 Burger Battle” giving her the opportunity to advance to the World Food Championships.
Chef Dahl and her restaurants have been featured on The Food Network, Travel + Leisure, USA Today, The New York Times, Wine Spectator, Travel Channel, Huffington Post, MSN.com and Marie Claire, to name a few.
Today, Dahl Restaurant Group welcomes nearly 400,000 guests annually across all four restaurants and employs close to 250 people, many of whom have been with the company for over 15 years. Each of Dahl’s restaurants continue to garner prestigious recognition and accolades. Twelve consecutive years of Wine Spectator awards decorate the walls of Cucina Rustica and Dahl and Di Luca.

Virtual Cooking School
“From an early age, I obsessively studied the pages of Seventeen Magazine fantasizing about the fashion and the life it brought with it. As a college student in NYC and Paris, examining the store windows of Fifth Avenue in NYC and Avenue Montaigne in Paris became as much of a daily priority as my course work in classic literature. I’ve been hooked on fashion and the self-empowerment it brings with it ever since!
I was born in a working-class town outside of Boston and was raised by traditional Greek parents who always made me feel like the world was mine to conquer. I knew I needed to be educated and earned multiple degrees at New York University and Babson College. I knew I needed to work hard and honed my skills as an entrepreneur by starting and building multiple businesses. The biggest lesson was the realization that how I dressed was an important arsenal when it came to building the life I dreamed of.
As a life-long fashion lover, entrepreneur and dreamer, I set out to create a new concept in traditional consignment shopping where designer fashion is sourced from the best of the past to collections from the most exciting emerging designers on the fashion scene, all sourced from all corners of the globe and offered at discounted prices.
Almost six years after opening the first location, our brand boasts four locations with two in Scottsdale, one in Dallas and a fourth on famed Robertson Blvd. in Los Angeles. My personal mantras and advice to clients are: Dress for the life you want, take some risks, think outside of the box, have the courage to be different and buy it when you see it!

Podcast Round Up
During these unprecedented times, we are finding ourselves at home adopting a new normal. As one of the many million Americans under “Stay at Home” orders, I am inspired to share my personal resources with you to enhance your AT HOME experience. I did three shorter interviews this week around the theme of staying home. You will get to hear from my much-loved friends.
First, you’ll hear from award-winning Chef Mark Tarbell, owner of the acclaimed Tarbell’s, The Tavern and Tarbell’s Wine Store. In these ever-changing times, he converted his restaurant virtually overnight to a delivery and take-out model to serve his clients who have loyally dined at Tarbell’s for more than two decades. Mark has seized the day with bold and clever daily emails promoting delivery of flash meals, boxed lunches and fine wine selections curated daily. His commitment to his team, customers and community makes us remember why we should all spend our $$$ locally. He is a dear friend and I encourage you to support Tarbell’s.
Dr. Susan Wilder, founder of Lifescape Medical Associates is board certified in family medicine, certified in functional medicine, my personal concierge doctor and a dear friend for more than a decade. Susan’s traditional approach combined with a more modern, natural approach is the perfect solution for me, and I’m excited to share her wisdom with all of you for staying home, staying healthy and staying calm.
Vanessa Shaw is the leader of the Business Growth Academy and an outstanding certified professional coach. Also, my coach and friend, Vanessa’s no nonsense approach to business and mindset will snap you into place if you find yourself struggling with your business, working from home or adapting to change.

The Heart Center at Phoenix Children’s Hospital is the beneficiary of ICONIC HAUS 2020 proceeds, and I talked with him about ten days ago before the coronavirus news intensified this week. As Co-Director of The Heart Center, Dr. Franklin shared the latest initiatives and innovative research coming out of The Heart Center, and why our support matters. Following my interview with Dr. Franklin, dear friend and father Justin Lee, owner of Moving Team Six and ICONIC HAUS sponsor, shares his personal story of how PCH saved his daughter’s life, and why he always says “yes” to Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
Dr. Wayne Franklin
Dr. Wayne Franklin is a graduate of Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, and UCLA School of Medicine. He did his residency training in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at Duke University, where he first was exposed to Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD). He then did two simultaneous fellowships in adult cardiology and pediatric cardiology at St. Luke’s/Texas Heart Institute and at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM)/Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) in Houston. In 2004, he founded the Texas Adult Congenital Heart Program, where he has served as Director from 2004-2018. In 2013, he was appointed Chief of Cardiology at the TCH Pavilion for Women, where he directed the clinical and administrative cardiovascular service lines. In September of 2017, he was selected as Head of the Department Adult Medicine at Texas Children's Hospital and Associate Vice Chair of Clinical Operations in the Department of Pediatrics. He is also the recipient of two prestigious Fulbright and Jaworski Awards of BCM Faculty Excellence, one in Teaching and one in Educational Leadership.
He came to Phoenix in 2018 to join Phoenix Children’s Hospital as the Co-Director of the Heart Center, the Director of the ACHD Program, and Chair of the Department of Adult Medicine. In addition, he is a Full Professor in three University of Arizona-College of Medicine-Phoenix Departments, including the Departments of Medicine, Child Health, and Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Since his arrival, Dr. Franklin has transformed the care of adults with congenital heart disease in the Valley, and he has put together a team of experts in the field. Phoenix Children’s Hospital is now undergoing accreditation to become the first hospital in Arizona to be accredited to comprehensive care of patients with adult congenital heart disease
From an academic perspective, he is involved with several research projects on adults with congenital heart disease, specifically in patients with single ventricle-Fontan physiology, neurocognitive outcomes, pulmonary hypertension, cardiac disease in pregnancy, and most recently, transition medicine. Dr. Franklin has been appointed to several medical advisory boards in congenital heart disease, including the Adult Congenital Heart Association (ACHA), the Alliance for Adult Research in Congenital Cardiology (AARCC), and American College of Cardiology (ACC). Since 2018, he has been the Co-Director of the Heart Center at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. He has been an invited lecturer across North America, Europe, South America and South Asia.
He has offices in Central Phoenix, Scottsdale, Gilbert and Glendale. In his off-time, Dr. Franklin likes to spend time with his two children and his wife, Rachel McNeill, anchor at 12 News/NBC-Phoenix.
He remains a full-time husband, a lifetime father and a part-time golfer.

Tasting Notes with Mark Tarbell: Let’s Get Weird
Ken Peterson grew up in Michigan, the son of parents who owned a real estate and construction company. At the age of 14 he moved with his family to Arizona in time to attend a college preparatory high school. During this time he was mentored by his parents who taught him the family business, where he learned the fine art of hard work and dedication. He went on to Arizona State University and then plunged into the construction business.
Ken has more than 35 years of experience in the new home industry, more than 25 of them as the Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Shea Homes’ Arizona Division. During his time at Shea Homes, he has led his team through the best and worst economic times and the attainment of the highest local and national awards in the home building industry. More importantly, he inspires his team to deliver unparalleled customer service and build the finest homes and communities in America. Additionally, he is regarded as a local industry expert by TradePartners, peers and media. To date, and the cause of his gray hair he says, Peterson has managed more than 29,000 new home closings--ultimately, earning him a self-proclaimed “PHD in Sales Success.”
Throughout his life he has continually earned and excelled in leadership roles; has led the integration of new technologies to enhance the home buying experience, co-developed Foundations (a national Sales Training program), is a proficient facilitator of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, is a proud father of two, photographer and loves to travel.

Desert Star Construction Shares 7 Ways to a Healthier Home
ICONIC HAUS 2020
Luxury design can take many forms—from a well-crafted piece of furniture to perfectly thought-out space planning, to the colors, textures, and materials used in a room. But for the right space, they must all converge seamlessly and create a feeling the client loves. Even more so, they should be timeless and reflect the personal lifestyle of the homeowner. And that’s exactly what Anita Lang, ASID and founder of Scottsdale-based IMI Design (est. 1992), does. Lang, who has been designing for more than two decades, always knew she had an eye for design. “I really think every human being has a gift to share with each other,” she says. “I happen to see spatially; it’s funny, as a young person, I didn’t realize others couldn’t. It took me awhile to understand it is the way my mind is particularly wired.” As an authority in her field, her straightforward and experienced approach is of service to clients across the spectrum including residential, commercial, and hotel properties in across the U.S. and international destinations, as well.
Anita, is a dear friend, a well-connected industry insider and will be designing the living room in ICONIC HAUS 2020, which we are very excited about. I met with her recently to discuss the difference between designing for clients on the East Coast versus clients on the West Coast that we are affectionately calling Manhattan to Manhattan Beach. Anita shares her creative process, starting out with a mediation to bring herself into the creative zone as well as the problem-solving aspect of being a designer. Inspiration for design can be found everywhere, Anita shares how her travels and everything she is exposed to influence her design decisions as well as the travels and experiences of her clients. It’s always great to spend time with Anita and I so admire her drive, her passion for life and her ability to really think outside the box. This podcast is also a story on iconiclife.com.

Meet Steve Elton, the Chief Brand Curator of ICONIC outdoor furniture brand Brown Jordan. I am so honored to have Brown Jordan as the presenting sponsor of ICONIC HAUS 2020. Steve Elton, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Outdoor Furnishings Industry in 2018, shares with us the incredibly inspiring story of how he fulfilled his dream of working with Brown Jordan.
So how did Elton get to changing the world of design from where he got started? Elton was hired as a sales rep for Brown Jordan in 1990, but it wasn’t really the position he was looking for. “I wanted to get into the creative end of things,” he admits. “When I was in my 20s, I went to design school and took a class on branding. Architectural Digest came up in discussion and it brought back memories of perusing the pages in the copies my parents always had on hand. I kept seeing the Brown Jordan ads, and they just inspired me.” From then on, he made it his mission to work for the firm.
Today, 29 years later he is just as full of passion and excitement for Brown Jordan! We talk about the history of Brown Jordan and its progression into modern-day design, and how the company honors its history while keeping up with the times. Steve has become a friend and mentor to me, and I always feel so lucky when I get time to chat with this industry giant.

Meet Mark Candelaria, AIA, Founding Partner/Principal of Candelaria Design. With nearly 40 years of experience in designing custom luxury homes, renovations, restaurants and resorts, Mark believes in enhancing your lifestyle through his creative ideas, visionary architecture and award-winning designs. Mark is a dear friend of mine and is a regular contributor to ICONIC LIFE with his regular column MARK-itecture, where he shares his global travels through the eyes of an architect.
Candelaria Design Associates was formed in 1999 with the simple belief that the architectural design process should always be fun, creative, collaborative and rewarding. His architecture career began under the tutelage of George W. Christensen, FAIA in 1982. After an 18-year career heading the residential branch of the Phoenix-based firm, CCBG Architects, whereby the firm grew to the fifth largest architectural practice in Phoenix, he opened Candelaria Design to be able to direct his time and talents towards working one-on-one with his residential clients.
Mark has the unique ability to see the inherent possibilities of custom home designs, both new and remodeled. He can sketch and create the spaces that his clients envision during a single meeting. He also is a firm believer in doing all of his renderings by hand and combining art with technology to create soulful designs. Mark loves to travel and cook, and spends time with his wife, Isabel, who shares this same passion, preparing fabulous meals for their clients and friends. Mark just completed his 19th Candelaria Design Tour, and in 2020 will take travelers to Italy, Spain and Napa. Mark is currently working on two books, and he loves to paint and draw. Mark launched his podcast Inspiring Living last fall to great reviews, and if you love this interview, you should check out his weekly podcast, too. He interviewed me on this same day, and we jointly launched what we are calling our POD-SWAP on the same day. You can check it out at on Inspiring Living.

The excitement of this fabulous New Year is on my mind, and I am feeling the mojo of 2020 big time. I’ve talked to many of you who are feeling the same way; I love the promise of opportunity and all the creativity it bubbles up for me. Publishing ICONIC LIFE is my first love. I am also classically trained as an executive coach, which comes in handy when I need a coaching moment for my team or myself. Throughout my life I’ve leaned on this training, and I am going to share one of my favorite processes with you to inspire you to live the beautiful life you imagine beginning with this new year.
I’m not a believer in resolutions; they can be forgotten before the end of January. In fact, 25 percent of people who declare resolutions in the New Year give up by the end of the first week. I am a believer in shifting your mindset, creating new habits and embracing a new approach. These are long and lasting lifestyle shifts that can create the change you want. There are simple and effective goal-setting strategies you can take yourself through if you want to start making a plan for an even better 2020. I have been doing this for 24 years and reveal my personal practice. You may know it as the “MORE OF/LESS OF” coaching process. I explain my process here, plus remind all of us what it means to set S.M.A.R.T. goals. In the end, the listeners who follow this process, write down their goals and share them with others will be the ones who achieve what they want in 2020.

Seven Best Gourmet Coffee Shops in the U.S.
Six Coolest Drones In The World
After years of regular visits to Napa, Julio and Amalia Palmaz purchased an old estate in Coombsville (in Napa’s southern reaches) and set down roots—in the form of vineyards—to create Palmaz Vineyards. While the estate’s 600 picturesque acres gracefully drape over Mt. George, only 60 are suited for the cultivation of grapes (particularly Cabernet Sauvignon). However, Julio and Amalia embraced the challenge of building a new winery from the ground up—and then some—with many of the winemaking facilities getting built in to the mountain.
There was also an understanding among all members of the Palmaz family—which includes daughter Florencia, son Christian, daughter-in-law Jessica and, by extension, head winemaker Tina Mitchell, son and assistant winemaker Doug Mitchell, and consulting winemaker Mia Klein—that even if the scale of production was small and carefully planned (given the area‘s geological idiosyncrasies), the effort to create premium wines would be all encompassing, collaborative, and greater than the sum of its proverbial parts.
In our interview with Christian Palmaz, he shares stories of the daily life of a family business in an idealic location and details how the fermentation tanks are uniquely engineered and paired with each parcel in the vineyard, adding it’s an approach that has not surprisingly inspired other wineries to inquire about implementing the breakthrough research in viticulture and enology into their operations. You’ll be running to your nearest wine shop to enjoy a bottle of Palmaz Vineyards wines once you learn about the love, labor and inspiration that goes into every wine.
