Opportunity is a Verb: Interview with Caitlin Brady


Listen Later

If you don’t ask, the answer’s always no. If you don’t knock, the door never opens. Opportunity doesn’t wait around—it rewards bold action. In part two of a special "double feature" podcast episode, you'll hear from Caitlin Brady, creator of the Architectette podcast (where part one lives) about chasing the chances that can change everything. We talk about what it really means to pursue opportunity—not as luck or timing, but as a habit.

  1. The magic isn’t in the wins alone; it’s in the courage to keep showing up, asking, and learning from every move you make.
  2. Build real relationships instead of transactional ones. Don't just work with people, take the time to get to know them and learn from them.
  3. Always ask, but don't get attached to the outcome. What's meant for you will find you if you keep taking action.
  4. Then, picking up where part one left off (at 19:50), we get real about leadership as the antidote to systemic codependency in the AEC industry:

    • Respect boundaries—yours and your team’s.

    • Set expectations that empower, not deplete.

    • Refuse to normalize burnout or abuse.

    • Give agency, celebrate wins, and build momentum through trust.
