Author of The Designer Within
Host of The McClain Method Podcast
John McClain
I grew up watching my family build homes from the ground up. It took almost losing everything to learn how to run a business.
John McClain has spent almost two decades turning spaces into experiences and designers into CEOs.
He's the founder of John McClain Design, a bi-coastal luxury interior design firm, and the creator of The McClain Method, a coaching and mentorship program that has helped hundreds of interior designers build profitable, sustainable businesses.
His podcast by the same name ranks among the top resources in the industry.
He's the author of The Designer Within, host of the podcast by the same name, and a sought-after speaker on design, business, branding, and the intersection of all three.
John brings the same standard to the stage that he brings to a $5M project: nothing leaves the room unfinished.
Whether he's keynoting, moderating a panel, or working a crowd as emcee, audiences leave with something they can actually use.
