Jon is joined by architect Joe Wright, who shares his journey from working in a large architecture firm to running his own small practice. Joe shares the challenges and rewards of this transition, including his changing approach to business and the importance of client collaboration. He also discusses personal anecdotes, his love for a local gospel choir, and the significance of sustainable design in his projects. The episode offers valuable insights for small firm founders aiming to build their dream business in architecture.Today's Guest...Joe Wright is a Chartered Architect who creates bespoke homes in London and West Sussex. His focus is on client collaboration and sustainable design. Joe has worked on around 10 projects a year for over a decade, from design to construction. Helping to turn his clients' houses into fabulous homes. During that time, he's also moved from Tottenham to the seaside town of Worthing in West Sussex. And oversaw building work on three projects on his own home. Asides from spending time with his architect wife, two sons and their mad cocker spaniel. Joe loves mountain biking, Arsenal football club, travel, and is a member of a local gospel choir.Episode Highlights...00:00 Introduction01:28 Meet Joe Wright: Architect04:45 Joe's Architectural Practice and Philosophy07:45 Joe's Journey to Becoming an Architect13:31 Starting a New Practice: Challenges and Strategies17:29 Early Business Struggles and Client Relationships25:36 Dealing with Difficult Clients27:18 Learning to Trust Your Gut29:43 The Impact of Bad Clients on Mental Health31:07 The Importance of Client Collaboration31:41 Business Development and Marketing Strategies40:45 Networking: Overcoming Fear and Building Relationships46:39 Favourite Travel Destinations48:48 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsKey Takeaways...Facing Your Fears and Taking ActionYou might feel scared to try something new — like getting into architecture, starting your own practice, or going to a networking event. But the longer you wait, the more chances you might miss. Taking action helps you learn as you go. You don't need to have it all figured out — just get started, and deal with things as they come.Why Building Relationships MattersAt first, networking can feel awkward. But once you start meeting people, it gets easier — and it can really help your business. Talking to others, sharing stories, and asking for advice can lead to new ideas, referrals, and work. You don't have to do it all alone — people want to help.Trusting Your Gut with ClientsSometimes you just know when a client doesn't feel right. If you ignore that feeling, it can lead to stress, wasted time, and low energy. Be picky. Set clear rules from the start. When you work with good people, your projects go better and you feel happier too.Links Mentioned In The Episode...Visit Joe's practice websiteConnect with Joe on LinkedIn—--Want to explore podcasting for your business?

Not but one episode ago, the Maxim family and their bodyguards were making their way back from the Hivemarket, just before Radar spotted a pillar of smoke rising from somewhere on the Arlian Plateau. Local news doesn't seem to have caught up with the event, but border control back into Arl doesn't seem to have been affected. After parking up back at home, Tabitha and Mel make their way to their local swim exercise class, whilst Vee and Radar watch on. Not too long into the class, the bodyguards notice 2 suspicious Ysoki arrive at the community center, whispering to one another as they shadow Tabitha and her partner. Radar is quick to react, swooping in and attempting to force them to leave under the guise of security, but subterfuge was never the Jumalten's strongpoint and a scuffle soon errupts. Not wanting to start a fight in front of the nice old ladies aquarobics class, Radar drags the 2 mooks into a nearby changing room and is quickly involved in a brawl. Vee joins in shortly afterwards and the 2 Ysoki thugs are quickly overwhelmed and beaten down, giving up information in exchange for their lives. They say that their taskmaster is someone named 'Gomez', and they had been instructed by the Cabal to pick up Ryder's mother to act as insurance. It would appear Ryder's plan has already begun. That evening, Radar and Vee watch the news and see that the earlier fire was caused by a massive uncrewed transport freighter crashing into an industrial warehouse, putting the city into a temporary lockdown. Asides from the panic and terror in the center of the capital, the suburbs remain quiet and tranquil. But the first stone has been cast, now. And things are about to get a whole lot louder ...

Small-medium business owners should also balance their views on value and profit; to look more at the multiple, grow their profit, and grow the value of their business. The one thing that John Warrillow would recommend a small business owner does based on his knowledge and experience, is that small-medium business owners should think of themselves more as owners, parents, of their businesses rather than CEOs of their companies; to evolve a business into becoming independent as their biggest aspiration.  This Cast Covers:  The process and significance of making a company more valuable. The Value Builder System is software that helps entrepreneurs build their businesses as an asset. John's journey into becoming what he is now, a man focused on creating value. Different components that qualify a business exquisite for acquisition. Small and medium-sized business owners are frequently emotional about their business. The 8 Key Drivers of Company Value.

In this episode. Our guest is Jessica Zweig. She is an award-winning entrepreneur, personal branding expert, the founder and CEO of SimplyBe Agency, and author of Be- A no Bullsh*t Guide to Increasing Your Self Worth and Your Net Worth by Simply Being Yourself. She is big on how to increase your net worth by being yourself. You are suitable for success when you can figure out how to navigate yourself.  [3:09] Why should I listen to you? Because I genuinely love to know you. I take an interest in who you indeed are. I don't do small talk. I prefer to talk deeply about your trauma and challenges in a soul-to-soul discussion. I create a window for authenticity, so you should listen to me. I don't know if it's a skill, but it has always been my craving. That is what I am attracted to; it has always been a massive shift for me and my life. [7:45] How do you define great success? I can only speak from my experiences and the people I have been reasonable to work with. Success isn't about accolades, numbers of social media followers, or wealth but true fulfillment. It is a feeling of joy that aligns with who you are born to be. But to be who you indeed are to succeed, you have to activate yourself—activating your life, living your life, and performing your roles despite what people say. Living in integrity is essential, and I don't think you can live a life of success without activating that part first. We are into personal branding, but we do more. We permit our clients to be themselves.  [10:15] What journey led you to the person who does this for others? I grew up in a place where I was not cool. I was cocky, but I fell in love with theater. I went for an audition. At age 27, I became an entrepreneur and launched my first online business. For most of my life, I was cocky and gooky. I thought I was someone after starting the business. I was calm and all, but a few years later, the company fell apart, and I became financially broke. No money was in my bank account, and I was in debt. I disassociated myself with the person I was working with for the magazine. I disassociated myself from all and started from scratch and did the work. I had to heal and come to terms with who I am. Long story short, I started doing the work. It was when I was 32 that I figured out what I needed to do. I have always been a spiritual person and started to go on a more spiritual journey. I began to figure out my relationship with the divine, and that is how my life started to change. [13:35] What is the work you are talking about in this conversation? I learned to take radical honesty and accountability for my mistakes, opportunities, trials, and errors. No one can do that for you. For a long time, I did something wrong. I realized that, and I work in that aspect. I took a lot of retreats and figured out that I needed to take responsibility and be accountable for everything that happened in my life. Feedback is essential, but it has to come from people who want the best for you cos they will tell you the truth. I intentionally invested in people and the environment that will give me Feedback, and I still do that. So that is the work I'm talking about.  [20:54] When you go on this journey with people, what are their unexpected experiences? We don't ask them about their trauma first. Asides from giving them what they want, we offer them what they need. People hire my team to do a lot of work depending on their goals. We create a methodology and take them through a process that helps them gain clarity. We are majorly into branding, which is clarity. Talk about who you are in a few sentences. So we aim to achieve a crystal clear point on who the person is and what he can bring to the table. That is where we start, and the only way we can begin is if we ask a series of questions about their expertise, being, and all that have shaped them. We are into building their websites and all that defines the brand, but we start by defining the person's core values. We have to ask those questions to get there. [24:35] What do you truly live for in this whole process? What is your goal? I started my podcast with people that I have worked with. I make a joke with this saying. If you come into our offices for branding and we don't make you cry, then we are not doing our job. We must crack people up, not because we want to make them cry. We have a moment when we make them feel tense when we read to them about their brand after the whole process. I also feel good when a client reaches out to me to tell me how their business tripled after the branding process. That is one of my favorite moments that reminds me of what I do.   [29:45] What would you say to someone in this terrible situation?  It is a couple of different processes. One of the things that I did was activate. It's so noisy, and our brain is wired to adjust. So it's essential to be quiet so that you can hear your thoughts. It would help if you had personal time. It would help if you were alone. That helped me to create a relationship with myself and also gain clarity. Journeying with myself is the most effective therapy. It helped me to be brave and also be myself. I accepted myself, and that's how I navigate these trying times.  [33:50] Who is your book written for, and what should the reader expect to get out of it? The book was written for a specific audience, but I believe everyone can learn from it. A book for figuring out who we are. It is for conscious entrepreneurs and people who want to bring authenticity and more humanity to the value that they create. It is also written for people who wish to discover who they are and what they want to do. The book is about personal branding and empowerment. It talks about my journey also, and I would say that the work begins where the book ends. Everybody wants that, so it's not limited to a particular set of people.  [42:25] What promise did God make to the world when he created you? I have a key in my heart and believe I am here to help people unlock the divinity inside of them. I want to help people reflect on what makes them special, and I'm on that mission.  KEY QUOTES [15:05-15:07] The best thing you can do for yourself is to get Feedback. [17:30-17:32] Feedback is a gift [22:45-22:50]. What makes us who we are is not the rock bottom but the journey.  How to connect with Jessica Zweig Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessicazweig/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/simplybe.jessicazweig/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jessica_zweig?lang=en

I was pleased to have Amanda Bresler and Alex Bresler back on the podcast to discuss their newest Naval Postgraduate School symposium paper on the composition of small businesses in the defense industry. Amanda is the Chief Strategy Officer at PW Communications, and Alex is the Chief Data Officer. They found that small business funding grew 68 percent between 2015 to 2021, but at the same time the total number of small businesses shrank 23 percent. That can only mean the small business players are, on average, getting bigger. Indeed, the number of small businesses receiving more than $100 million per year in defense prime contracts grew three-fold over those six years (from 26 to 84). By comparison, the number of small businesses with less than $1 million fell 32 percent (from 34,205 to 23,337). This podcast was produced by Eric Lofgren.
