End chaos in your firm—300+ peers use this framework. Free video here: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/framework

Frank and Megan Lin didn’t set out to build a high-profit, award-winning firm. For years, they worked late, chased too many projects, and tried to out-hustle their burnout. Then something happened that changed the entire direction of their practice—and their lives.

In this episode, they share what it really took to stop grinding and start growing. You’ll hear how they created freedom without sacrificing design, and how they reconnected with their deeper purpose through the business itself. If you’ve ever wondered whether building a thriving firm means giving up your life, this episode is for you.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll discover:

  • The hiring ritual that saved their culture—and helped eliminate expensive missteps
  • The one mindset shift that turned a draining practice into a design-led enterprise
  • Why most architects stay broke (and the invisible belief keeping them stuck)

This is one of the most honest, inspiring conversations we’ve had. Don’t miss it.
