**EA088: How to Avoid Burnout as an Architect with Jane Walton [Podcast]** Aug 27, 2015
Show notes

Leaders of small firms are experiencing many of the same challenges as the leaders of large firms. Leadership transition, balancing our firms and our families, and equity in architecture (as my friend Rosa Sheng calls it) The Missing 32%.

As architects and leaders, we all have our issues and we are all struggling with finding our way to be successful in the many roles to which we have committed ourselves.

Bottom line… we're stressed and we're overwhelmed.

If we don't do something about it, we're going to burnout and its going to get much worse. Stress unmanaged will lead to real physical health issues.

I know . I'm dealing with stress related issues myself. The dangers are real.

This week on the EntreArchitect Podcast, I’ve invited business management consultant and executive coach, **Jane Walton** to join us and discuss this very serious issue, **How to Avoid Burnout as an Architect**.

**EA086: Virtual Reality in Architecture with George Valdes [Podcast]** Aug 06, 2015
Show notes

Imagine taking your client for a tour of their new building. Entering the front door, walking through the lobby full of natural light and vaulted ceilings. You point to a detail above where the sunlight enters the space and reflects from the wall surface and explodes into a rainbow of colors.

Imagine taking this tour with your client before the foundation is poured, or the walls are constructed? Imagine experiencing the light filled lobby before the building even exists.

Virtual reality is a tool that may allow architects to design new spaces, never before experienced. It will allow us to experiment and find the faults before they become reality. Virtual reality is here and it will soon transform our entire profession.

This week on the EntreArchitect Podcast, **George Valdes of IrisVR** shares his thoughts on **virtual reality in architecture**.

**EA084: Field Guide Series – Building, Branding and Marketing Your Startup Design Business with Eric Reinholdt [Podcast]** Jul 16, 2015
Show notes

Many of us have a dream of starting our own firm. Others of us have already taken the plunge and launched.

The first question, after we make that fateful decision is, How do we find work? “How do we get noticed by the clients with whom we want to work?”

This week's guest on the EntreArchitect Podcast has some answers for us. He's a residential architect based on the eastern coast of the United States, way up north in Maine on an Island called Mt. Dessert and he has developed and tested some very interesting ways to get noticed and fill his boards with the high end residential projects that we all want to design.

This week on the EntreArchitect Podcast, we are speaking with architect **Eric Reinholdt of 30X40 Design Workshop** and author of the new book *Architect and Entrepreneur: A Field Guide to Building, Branding, and Marketing Your Startup Design Practice*.

This is the first episode in our new **Field Guide Series** where Eric and I will dive deep and share **Routines, Rituals, Tips, and Tricks for Hacking Your Design Practice and Becoming an Successful Entrepreneur Architect**.

EntreArchitect-Podcast-Badge — **EA083: Is EntreArchitect a Movement? [Podcast]** Jul 09, 2015
Show notes

A Progress Report from EntreArchitect

EntreArchitect is a movement that is slowly growing. It's a community of like-minded architects who are tired of the status quo; tired of working long hours, tired of society not recognizing the role of architects, beyond that of the creators of big shiny buildings designed by the most public of architects.

Entrepreneur Architects are tired of struggling to make ends meet. We are tired of working too hard and getting paid too little.

Entrepreneur Architects recognize that there is a problem in this profession. That there is a significant part of our education missing from our basic knowledge. We recognize that business success and profit are critical and necessary in order for the dream to come true. The dream of being a successful architect, where we have the best clients, design the best buildings and get paid well for doing it.

Entrepreneur Architects are seeking ways to integrate their small firms with their family and building a lifestyle of success with everything we do in business, leadership and life.

EntreArchitect is growing and we ARE becoming an influential force in the profession for YOU the small firm architect.

Today on the EntreArchitect Podcast I am going to present **an update on our progress here at EntreArchitect**.

EA081: My 5 Tools for Pursuing a Productive Paperless Virtual Studio [Podcast] Jun 25, 2015

Show notes

For 11 years Fivecat Studio was located in Pleasantville, New York about 10 minutes from our home in Chappaqua. It was a 2000 square foot space with hardwood floors, large windows, exposed structure and tall ceilings. It was a fabulous space for an architecture studio and we enjoyed being there for all those years.

In November 2013, Annmarie and I made the decision to move out of that space and we moved into a new private studio built at our home. Our staff is now located in remote studios of their own and our 2000 square feet has been reduced to 200.

In order to be most efficient and effectively communicate with our virtual team, we have adopted several apps to get things done. This week on the EntreArchitect Podcast, I will share My 5 Tools for Pursuing a Productive Paperless Virtual Studio.
