Customer Reviews
Gold for Architects
Every Architect should listen to this, whether they run their own practice or they’re going through school still. If Architects had a more holistic approach to business (the way Business of Architecture provides with all the topics they cover on these episodes), I fully believe the entire profession would return to it’s status of Architects being revered as Gods like they once were.
Design Leader? Do yourself a favor and listen…
Thirty years ago when in college studying Landscape Architecture, our core curriculum was made up of a majority of classes that focused solely on design. We did have a few specialized classes but none of our schooling focused on running a business, dealing with employees or navigating challenges in your own design practice. I am fortunate to have taken over an established LA firm where I am getting a crash course in a majority of the topics that Enoch and Rion discuss on the BOA podcast and as a Landscape Architect, I can attest that the content of the Podcast can be applied to all design disciplines. The banter between Enoch and Rion is engaging and entertaining and has brought substantial value to my life. Thanks BOA…
Worth the listen
I have been honored to be a guest on the show, and found the interview with Enoch enjoyable and productive. But I’m also an avid listener who has found numerous topics that are useful, inspiring and thought provoking. There is something for every architecture business owner here!
