Episode 016 of the Antidote One Podcast was a "proud poppa" moment for me. I interviewed Scott Wallenhorst, AIA who is a friend and also a graduate of the Architect Accelerator coaching program.  

Scott shares his journey of seeking licensure and finding the "right firm" to work for throughout his career. His path is not uncommon to most of us. Seeking mentorship along the way and guidance that seems to elude all young architects at times.  

I selfishly must say that I am proud of all that Scott has recently achieved and I look forward to seeing what he will do next. Please click the link below to hear his story of becoming an architect.

Every once in a while you come across an individual and a business that has a depth of knowingness and class that seems to pervade an entire industry. In episode 015 I interview that person John Chan of the Durable Slate Company.   

John started working at the Durable Slate Company while he was in college. At the time it was a small mom and pop company operating in a small area of Ohio. John had the opportunity to become a co-owner in the business and helped grow it into an international award winning company.   

John shares some of the most valuable lessons and advice about business that I have ever heard. Please have a note pad ready when you listen to this episode if you want to do well at business or your career!

In this episode Architect Josh Kunkel of the Method Group dives deep into his approach to social equity, community engagement and how to run an architectural firm that is not self centered on one owner.

In episode 013 I had the honor and pleasure of doing my first collaborative interview with architect Mark LePage. Mark is the managing partner of the award winning architecture firm Five Cat Studios and the Founder of Entre Architect. Through his work with Entre Architect Mark is on a mission to help architect run more profitable architectural practices and avoid the pitfalls that come along with many business endeavors. 

Mark and I discuss our organ stories in becoming architects and discuss the challenges architects currently face and will face in the near future that   could lessen the architects role in society.
