Starting a Business

Hello! Love the podcast. Really great interviews with knowledgeable information. However, I was wondering if there are any specific podcasts about the best way to start an architectural firm and the best steps to do so? I just started listening so I have a long way to go to get through them (I will though!).

Sheenasharp ,

I love Business of Architecture

Enoch is a one man army trying to turn the rest of us into savvy entrepreneurs. And we really need it. I have watched many episodes (not all, yet) and have come any with valuable insight, every time. If our profession is to thrive, individually AND collectively, we need a whole new paradigm. THIS paradigm.

Good quality production and content. Exercises my left and right grey matter.
