Eric and I chat about what it’s like attending to the needs of a massive audience while trying to protect your own taste. Home decor trends, experimentation, and the never ending grind of figuring out what actually feels right in your own space. A good reminder that taste evolves. And that noise is often mistaken for signal. @im_ericwang 00:00 The Influencer Aesthetic and Personal Style 03:03 Navigating Criticism and Imposter Syndrome 06:11 The Journey of Home Decor and Personal Taste 08:48 Collaborative Design: Balancing Personal and Shared Spaces 12:10 The Evolution of Male Interest in Home Decor 15:02 Authenticity vs. Performance in Design Choices 17:58 Traveling and Design Inspiration 20:59 The Role of Gender in Design Preferences 24:09 Valuing Expensive vs. Affordable Design Choices 30:49 The Psychology of Spending on Home Decor 31:47 Starting Your Home Decor Journey 34:45 Renting vs. Owning: Influences on Style 36:20 The Benefits and Drawbacks of Renting 39:06 DIY Projects in a Rental Space 42:29 Building Relationships with Landlords 44:21 First Choice Best Choice - Design Opinions 49:32 Reevaluating Space and Lifestyle Choices 55:31 Staying True to Personal Style

In the first episode of That Could Be True, I sit down with Joseph Morrison @joey_driftwood for a loose conversation about DIY, decor trends, and who actually gets access to good taste. We talk about why design can feel gatekept, how social media shapes our aesthetic instincts, and why doing things yourself isn’t about being cheap, it’s about having agency. Joey shares his thoughts on accessibility, resisting trend cycles, and building spaces that actually reflect who you are. Nothing here is settled. We’re just talking it through. Some of this might be wrong. More of my stuff - https://www.instagram.com/cinemagravy/?hl=en
