All Up In Your Business with Kayleigh
You walk past businesses every day and wonder, "How did they even start this?"
I'm Kayleigh Bain, and every Wednesday I ask that question for you. I sit down with Raleigh business owners, nonprofit leaders, and entrepreneurs to talk about:
- Where the idea actually came from
- Why they named it that (there's always a story)
- The hard lessons nobody talks about
- Real advice for anyone thinking about starting something
No BS. No guru talk. Just honest conversations with people building cool stuff in the Triangle.
New episodes every Wednesday. Let's get all up in your business.

All Up In Your Business with Kayleigh
Disrupting Construction with Dignity and Class | Michele Wilson | Sonder Luxe
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Michele Wilson is disrupting the construction industry with dignity and class—and she's doing it by erasing the lines that keep people siloed.
As the founder of Sonder Luxe Home Solutions and the creator of Coffee with Contractors (a quarterly networking movement that pulls 70-100 people every single time), Michele is on a mission to fix what's broken in construction: the lack of collaboration, the transactional relationships, and the fact that homeowners keep getting screwed over because they don't have anyone fighting for them.
In this episode, we dive into what it's like being a woman in a male-dominated industry, why she named her company after a word from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, and how she went from expecting 10 people at her first networking event to consistently selling out at 75-100. Michele breaks down the hard lessons about protecting what you build, why verbal alignment is not legal protection, and how boundaries are a leadership skill—not an emotional reaction.
We also talk about her portfolio of gorgeous renovation projects, why she outsources design work to support interior designers, and the power of knowing when to walk away to protect your peace.
