We all love a good success story 鈥� particularly when there鈥檚 an opportunity to learn from that person鈥檚 experience. Is it luck? Timing? Roots? 

The 鈥檚 new podcast, 鈥淎vant-Grad: OHIO Trailblazers,鈥� gets insight straight from achievers who鈥檝e become leaders among Bobcats 鈥� and also nationally.  

The first episode, which premiered live via YouTube on Tuesday, features self-taught interior designer Leanne Ford, who earned her bachelor鈥檚 degree in specialized studies in 2003. Amidst a successful career as a fashion stylist, she gained national attention for the 1907 schoolhouse turned home she restored and designed in her hometown of Pittsburgh. 

She鈥檚 now an HGTV star whose signature aesthetic trends across Instagram. She partners with various home outfits such as Crate & Barrel, Hart Tools, and Domino Magazine to bring her modern yet lived-in aesthetic to homes from Los Angeles to New York City. HGTV will launch her new show, 鈥淗ome Again with The Fords,鈥� in January.
