S2:E21 Finding JOY "in Trouble" with YOUR People!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You know that moment when you realize you have found your people. Well, for our guest today, Noelle, it happened with a cocktail in hand and for getting in trouble for talking too much to a complete stranger. Sounds like she would fit in just fine around here. She's definitely our kind of joy to drop.
Noelle is not only one of our biggest fans, a mega fan as we like to call her, but she's also a design client of Stuart's, and she's also the boss lady. I mean THE boss lady behind CycleU, a fitness brand here in Lexington. She founded to be as much about community and joy is about cycling or sweating.
It's a fun conversation about finding joy when it happens unexpectedly and holding on just enough to let it grow. Personally, my favorite part is when Stewart got in trouble with her doing a project. I mean, hey, I have to enjoy mistakes when they happen, but don't worry, she still loves him and they still work together.
He had to get something right. When we recorded this podcast, she was in her office at CycleU perched right above the studio floor. So if you hear some of the music pumping, that was just her way of keeping us motivated to keep moving. Alright, let's get to the podcast. I hope you have your ankle warmers on and are stretched.
Ready to go. Here we go guys.

stuart-guest89_1_08-28-2025_091249She's been in all the weddings. All of them. So Yes. But I have been with Noelle through many,, many a design, many a remodel, new build or two. She's well versed in that she also is a local business owner who owns Cycle U Lexington. Woo. and that's where our role flips because when I'm in that building, that bitch is my boss. But anytime out of that door, I'm her boss. So we can get started with that.

noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249that's what he keeps telling everyone. Let's just know that that's not true. Um, but we were put on the board together of Susan g Komen. um, for the Pink Tie Gala
stuart-guest89_1_08-28-2025_091249Woo. Woo.
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249um, the person who put us on the board, who was a mutual friend, was very serious about the board, as she should be. It's a very, was at that time, a very big event, but Stewart and I sat next to each other and we spent the whole time talking.
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249I can see
stuart-guest89_1_08-28-2025_091249Like we had, we had never met before that. That was like the first time we had met, I think I made some smart ass comment and she giggled at it and then we just kept on going.
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249I mean,
stuart-guest89_1_08-28-2025_091249So.
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249by the end of the meeting we were kicking each
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249Table, I think
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249and I think Stewart had left to go to the

noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249Let's see. Yeah.
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249Probably. Yeah. You know, we just felt like if
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249Oh, and then the other part of that story is I knew he was my person too, because my husband, Sam. is a
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249quiet person.

jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249Mm-hmm.
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249and he can be reserved. Um, peop he, people think he is much more out there because of his former job of being a news anchor, but he's actually really reserved. And Stewart
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249decorated the party. And I'll never forget, we were
stuart-guest89_1_08-28-2025_091249This was, it was the first year. It was the first year.

jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249happen
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249Like he can explain it in a way that Sam's like, I'll ask, and Sam will be like, no, it's gonna cost more money. Stuart will ask and he'll be like, well, that makes sense.
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249well, okay, so here's a question.'cause I think she's the first person we've had on here that's been a client. Is that accurate?

jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249at that time that knew who
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249who
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249thought they, you know
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249of what
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249what my husband did.
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249they can afford, but, you know, we were, you know, we were starting over and
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249I just really appreciated
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249that
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249he,
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249He, he, he
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249he made me feel good about the space I was in.
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249when I didn't have money.
dwayne_1_08-28-2025_091230It literally was just a conversation. Yesterday, and the lady is probably mid fifties and we're doing a remodeling. Pretty, pretty nice stuff. And all the story is she said, you know, I've never, uh, worked with a designer before. And she said, uh, this has been such a great experience. And she said, then she said, I don't know why I've never hired a designer. And I said, let me, let me tell you why I think you may have not hired a designer. I said, because there's a perception there, and the perception is you can't afford me. And you just said that, can I afford? Really? And, and I said, so half the world, two thirds of the world thinks that they can't afford a designer and say that the truth be told, there's every budget for, and every designer for every person, and. At the end of the day, if a good designer really listens to you, they do exactly what Stewart is, uh, and he understands where you are in your life. Exactly. And do I need to buy stuff from Target and Home Goods, which is absolutely fine. Right. And then, and it's happened time after time I'm with you that I've started at this budget and now I'm working with clients and we were able to get a nice. Wool rug that's handmade from Turkey. Right? And it, it evolves, right? It evolves and that's how it evolves. But there becomes a trust and an evolution. But at the end of the day, I really do believe this, that if you find your person, like you did with Stewart, that a good designer really ultimately will. Um, make your life beau more beautiful and, and actually save you money because you're not gonna buy mistakes once it's all said and done. Right? Ding, ding, ding.
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249Well,
dwayne_1_08-28-2025_091230And
stuart-guest89_1_08-28-2025_091249funny.
dwayne_1_08-28-2025_091230is not a preaching, but I believe that.
stuart-guest89_1_08-28-2025_091249Well, it's funny, we, uh, just got done redoing guest rooms at the new house, Noel's new house, which we built five years ago. And, you know, you had to live in it. You had to figure it out. But she's like, okay, I've lived in it. Now I know what I want, blah, blah, blah. Well, in, in one of the guest rooms, like, she sent me this picture. She's like, so this vibe now. And my response back was, bitch, that's what I told you to buy the first time. I'm glad it took you five years to get there. So yes, you need to buy it.'cause that's what always needed to be in that room.
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249Oh,
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249He did. And I

And I looked at him and I said, you have got to get electricity to this house. And then we figured out, okay, we got electricity for the wedding.'cause it was just drywalled. It was drywalled in and it
stuart-guest89_1_08-28-2025_091249There was no floor, there was no cabinets, nothing. Mm-hmm.
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249was running around your store?'cause I looked at him, I said, two days out, I said, we have no lights inside the house that about a hundred people were coming to. Um, so

Noel lives on the lake and Stewart has his beautiful second home next to Noelle that he on occasion goes to'cause he lives out in the mansion. So let's, let's get that straight first, right people. But secondly, what I need, I need the world to know. And probably Noelle, you'll know that Stewart loves him a good robe. Okay? Has there ever been a moment. Oh my God. Closed the robe. Have you had that moment? As a neighbor.
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249well, I've had it beforehand, like first of all.

noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249you've
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249gotta fix this.
stuart-guest89_1_08-28-2025_091249and I said, okay, I'll call you back in an hour. And I went out there with Steve and who was the builder of the house and I said, okay, I fucked up. I said, I know the septic tanks had to go here'cause there's rock and we couldn't blast out rock and I didn't wanna spend$5,000 on blasting rock and we just had to get it here. I said, but shrinking that in trouble. So.
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249So
stuart-guest89_1_08-28-2025_091249We redesigned it. I came up with a cantilever design. I pulled out my Frank Lloyd Wright. We cantilever that deck. Reup supported it out. She got three feet, four inches more.
dwayne_1_08-28-2025_091230Well, that's where it is. You felt comfortable enough voicing your concern and he was wise enough to hear you and not fight back and say, I, I hear her. I gotta get this fixed. That tho that was friendship and wisdom and a good relationship that you build over years. Right? It, it is the um. The other thing I've always said, Stewart, is. Truly his true gift is even though he has a design degree, I always feel like he's more of an architect. That that's his real vision. That's his real, I don't know if it's just love. I don't know if that he loves, I think he likes it, but I don't know. He can have to answer that. But I know that's his gift, that he can see spatial and understand scale and how that stuff, and so for him to, when you said he was drawing out and designing, it's like, yep. Yep. Yep, yep.'cause that's what he does and does well.
jeremy_1_08-28-2025_091249what he does and does whatever
noelle_1_08-28-2025_091249And
