What topics are important to small firm owners?
In November 2022, the EntreArchitect Community came together for the very first time in Austin, Texas. This active and growing online community launched in 2012, bringing together a global community of small firm entrepreneur architects. On any given day, you can jump into the EntreArchitecture Community Facebook group and see small firm owners sharing real-world advice, mentorship, and collaborating across time zones to support one another.
In this episode, we’ll document our experience participating in this first-of-its-kind event.
Featured guests:
Bolanle Williams-Olley, Mancini Duffy
Katelyn Parker, Bungalow Roots
Jennifer Kretschmer, J. Kretschmer Architect
Randy Wilburn, Zweig Group
Robert Yuen, Monograph
Mark R. LePage, EntreArchitect
