🎙 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.
