The right architect protects your vision. The wrong one costs you thousands.

In this episode, Katie Kim is joined by Ellen Spencer—architect, project manager, and trusted collaborator—to unpack one of the most misunderstood dynamics in development: how to hire (and work with) design partners who don’t derail your strategy.

If you’re a business owner or investor building your first location—or scaling into development—this conversation is your blueprint.

What you’ll learn:
- How to vet architects who understand your numbers
- What “stamped vs. unlicensed” actually means—and why it matters
- The warning signs of ego-led design (and how to redirect them)
- How Katie and Ellen structured a mixed-use dream deal—and why it collapsed
- The mindset shift from “project manager” to “team integrator”
- Real-life examples of how architecture can make—or break—your capital stack

Listen in if you want to scale smarter, build strategically, and protect your bottom line from design decisions that don’t align with your business model.

You don’t need another opinion — you need a blueprint.
In this episode, Katie Kim unpacks why clarity doesn’t come in fragments — and how powerful women accidentally crowdsource their next move instead of crafting a system that fits who they’re becoming.

She breaks down how “picking too many brains” creates internal spin, the true cost of borrowing beliefs that don’t serve you, and why 2026 will belong to the women who build from peace, not pressure.

You’ll learn:

How to stop confusing input for insight

Why discernment is your most valuable strategy tool

The simple “fire list” exercise to reset your focus before the new year

If you’re ready to stop outsourcing your power and start architecting your next move with intention, this episode is your blueprint.

She sold her first company, built her brand from scratch, and turned one breakfast convo into $379,000. Liz McDonald isn’t just a real estate broker—she’s a movement in motion.
