What is luxury really — and who gets to participate in it?
In this episode of the B Student Podcast, we sit down with Emily Williams, entrepreneur, tastemaker, and owner of Be on Park and co-owner of Z Properties to explore a modern, more human definition of luxury — one rooted in belonging, craftsmanship, meaning, and personal milestones.

Emily has built an extraordinary career spanning fine jewelry, interior design, and women’s apparel. Her work has been featured in national publications and admired far beyond Winter Park, yet her philosophy remains grounded: luxury isn’t about price tags — it’s about intention.

In this conversation, we cover:
-How Emily bridged real estate, design, and fine jewelry into one cohesive vision
-Why luxury is a signal of belonging, not exclusivity
-The difference between something being expensive vs luxurious
-How to build a “jewelry wardrobe” at any stage of life
-Meaningful ways to mark milestones, from engagements to personal victories
-Why craftsmanship, weight, feel, and story matter more than trends
-How to invite luxury into your life without spending a dollar

Whether you’re early in your career, building a business, or simply rethinking how you celebrate life’s moments, this episode offers a refreshing, empowering lens on living beautifully — on your own terms.
