  • Hidden gems at every corner..,,

    This podcast is a treasure trove. The guests (some known, some not) all brought moments a sheer discovery for me as well as inspiration. Adrian is guilelessly adept at pulling these moments from his subjects. Just wonderful.

  • Great Host

    I was a guest on the show and it was such a great experience! Adrian makes you feel very comfortable and makes it more of a conversation rather than a show. He’s a wealth of knowledge and brings up some great topics and questions. Being part of the design community I love hearing the guests he brings on. It’s fun to relate to Al the guests and hear their stories. Big fan of this podcast and Adrian.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kelly Grace - The Architect Who Designs for Your Health
Q: How did you come to specialize in non-toxic, health-focused architecture?
Kelly discusses growing up around construction, her early hands-on experience, and her shift toward prioritizing environmental health in living spaces, including mold awareness and air quality as core design imperatives.
Alexander Josephson: The 5-Year Test That Built a Masterpiece
Q: What have you learned about resilience and failure in competitions, and how does that shape your approach to new work?
Losses are common; we view the process as an ongoing education, learning from each outcome, and building a culture that can sustain ambition, push for meaningful outcomes, and persist through bureaucratic and financial challenges.
Alexander Josephson: The 5-Year Test That Built a Masterpiece
Q: Architecture is a political act—how does your firm translate that into everyday practice when pursuing projects or responding to client demands?
We bring a clear set of values about design freedom, public benefit, and honest dialogue, and we push for outcomes that improve the city and the client's objectives, even if it means navigating complex politics and budgets.
Mick Hawes: Your Product Isn’t the House — It’s the Client Experience
Q: What role do mindset and personal development play in business coaching for builders?
Mindset is foundational; the ability to lead yourself, manage emotions, and communicate effectively drives profitability and leadership. Coaching helps builders navigate phase-based learning (information, experience, wisdom) and stay committed to long-term goals rather than chasing short-term, shiny solutions.
Mick Hawes: Your Product Isn’t the House — It’s the Client Experience
Q: What is your core philosophy about what the 'product' in a building project actually is?
The product is the quality of the client experience—the interactions, communication, and relationships with the client and project team. When you align everyone around delivering a superior client experience, the rest of the project and the business naturally improve.
