Business of Home Podcast How Ashley Montgomery survived a stressful split and came out stronger
Born into a family of homebuilders, Ashley Montgomery knew what she wanted to do from a young age. After cutting her teeth in the industry, she launched her own firm in 2013, which exploded in popularity during the Covid home boom. Montgomery’s work has been published in top shelter magazines, and she’s inked a deal with Rizzoli for her debut book.
Recently she and her husband and business partner divorced, leading to a challenging time both personally and professionally. But now that the dust has settled, Montgomery is opening up about how it made her stronger, and what lessons she learned along the way.
On this episode of the podcast, she speaks with host Dennis Scully about the differences between Canadian and American clients, why she doesn’t regret not charging a markup early on in her career, and how she fell in love with the business side of her firm.
