Roger Jackson has shaped skylines, restored sacred places, and quietly mentored a generation of architects. In this special episode, Clayton sits down with the former president of FFKR Architects—Utah’s largest architectural firm—for a deeply personal and profound conversation about a life in architecture.

From childhood memories of blueprint ammonia to the award-winning restoration of the Salt Lake Temple, Roger shares stories from his 40-year career: design philosophy, the evolution of drafting, the soul of classical architecture, and why the real power of architecture lies not in novelty—but in meaning, beauty, and human connection.

You’ll hear:

• How architects rediscovered classical treatises and brought timeless design back to life
• The spiritual power of good design, and what happens when you get it right
• How Roger helped restore the Salt Lake Temple, the Provo City Center Temple - and design the Philadelphia Temple
• Why the buildings that last aren’t always the biggest—but the most loved

Whether you’re an architect, a student, or simply someone who wants to live in a more beautiful world, this episode will change the way you see the built environment around you.
