TV Show Influence on the Organizing Industry with Peter Walsh, Bestselling Author & Founder of Peter Walsh Design

Whether you’re interested in re-organizing and renovations or you just love a good reality TV show, you’ve likely followed many shows about organizing since the early 2000’s, from Neat with Hellen Buttigeig in Canada to Mission Organization, Clean Sweep, and Enough Already. In Episode 85, NAPO Stand Out Podcast Host, Clare Kumar interviews Peter Walsh, Bestselling Author, TV Personality and Founder of Peter Walsh Design. Peter is currently in the process of launching his new Australian series, Space Invaders and has been featured in countless TV series, including The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Rachael Ray Show.

In his new series, Space Invaders, you will hear about the staggering amount of clutter that the average Australian has in their home and how the pandemic has influenced people to declutter and restore their homes. In this episode, we touch on the role of overwhelm in preventing people from making a change, and why Peter chooses to talk about a different family situation with a different type of clutter on each episode of his TV series. He also explores the underlying themes that run through clutter and shares his policy to honor emotional treasure, offer people options when it comes to financial treasure, and discusses the tension that exists between design and organization in every show. We get real about the discrepancy between what is presented on TV and online and what is possible for you, before taking a moment to celebrate television’s role in inspiring an increasingly sophisticated audience.

Tune into this episode to learn more about Peter’s 20 years of experience and how this has enabled him to progress his career to the next level!
