🎙 BETTER DECISIONS PODCAST
How Artefacto Turned Design Into a Billion-Dollar Real Estate Engine
Time is the one luxury you can’t buy back. In this episode of the Better Decisions podcast, David sits down with Paulo Bacchi, CEO of Artefacto, the Brazilian luxury furniture house that quietly helps move over $1B in real estate every year across Miami and beyond.
From a 1,000,000 sq ft factory in Brazil and 3,000+ employees to 2-week delivery on fully furnished multimillion-dollar homes, Paulo shares how he built a brand that developers, designers, and top agents rely on to sell faster, for more, with less friction.
You’ll hear how Brazilians helped rescue Miami’s condo market after 2008, why ultra-wealthy buyers will always pay a premium for time and service, how Artefacto turned crisis into its most profitable year ever, and why Paulo believes philanthropy and service are secret weapons for long-term success.
Whether you’re in real estate, design, or just obsessed with Miami’s evolution, this is a masterclass in operating at scale, with heart.

Best New Private Schools in Miami: Alpha’s Revolutionary Model and Why Families Are Flocking Here
vendredi 21 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:12:00
🎙 BETTER DECISIONS PODCASTBest New Private Schools in Miami: Alpha’s Revolutionary Model and Why Families Are Flocking Here
In this episode of Better Decisions, I sit down with Mackenzie Price—Stanford-trained psychologist, co-founder of Alpha Schools and the two hour learning AI tutor platform.

We break down what makes Alpha so different from traditional Miami private schools: an AI-based learning model where students crush core academics in just two hours a day, then spend the rest of the school day in roughly six hours of real-life skill building—entrepreneurship, communication, grit, leadership, and social-emotional development.
