  • Good find

    It’s a relief to find a US based architecture focused podcast. There are many podcasts focused on design and related fields, but I love to hear architecture based conversation. And Austin is great! I’ll be listening for a long time!

  • Building enduring communities! Great podcast.

    I’ve been following Austin on LinkedIn for sometime and and have just listened to a couple episodes of his podcasts so far. The episode with Moses Kagan was amazing! It was fun yo listen to two guys who build and invest for the long term and the tactics they covered are priceless.
