Welcome to Automated Success, the only father-daughter podcast in the outdoor automation market.

Are you leading out loud, or are you suffering in silence? Are you being a director, or a dictator? Are you empowering your team or are you punishing potential growth? This week’s guest, Michael Todoran is a native West Los Angeles Angelino practicing landscape architecture in Los Angeles, CA. He is the owner of Zanja Madre Studios and Executive Producer of the Landscape Architect podcast. He’s also a Lecturing Professor at Cal Poly Pomona School of Environmental Design and producer of the documentary www.superfiskyfilm.com.
