Concerned that underbidders would produce something of a lesser quality, the first Principles of Practice adopted in 1909 by the association barred architects from marketing themselves and prohibited firms from knowingly competing with one another by offering to charge less for the same work. Advertising, even proposals and sketches, were prohibited by the professional organization as architects were essentially required to charge the same percentage of construction cost. In 1972, the AIA finally agreed to allow members to submit price quotes, competitive bids, discounts, or free work such as proposals and sketches. As a result, marketing became an increasingly vital part of architecture firms; it helps bring in new clients, adds value to the brand, and helps to attract and retain top talent.”

Do you have a big idea? Would you know a big idea if it fell in your lap? Do you watch TV and see amazing new products out there that you say, I could have done that? Well if you have ever wanted to launch your creative spark and find your OWN big idea my guest today makes it easy. Well not quite easy but definitely easier! For most of us the hardest part of an idea is getting started. Especially when you are alone. How do you know if your idea even makes sense? According to Bryan Mattimore, the crazier and more insane the idea the better. The worst ideas often create the biggest new idea. Think pet rock, the character of the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld, smart water (truly one of my favorites and one I drink regularly). Knowing how to turn that worst idea into something great just takes some creative thinking. With the launch of his latest book, 21 Days to a Big Idea, Bryan guides you through how you can develop 21 big ideas in 21 days. Each exercise in the book has been carefully crafted and tested to help you trigger your creative juices and think outside your own perceptions. On this episode Bryan shares how the idea can to be, of course it started with a question, and his own journey to create the workshop that created this book. Listen as we share some of our own Big Ideas! Bryan W.

Growing up with a father who epitomized the advertising age’s “original madmen,” Bryan surely ate ideas for breakfast. It’s no wonder he claims he is “obsessed with creativity and the creative process.” Bryan is Cofounder and Chief Idea Guy of the Growth Engine Company, a sixteen-year-old firm which enables a variety of Fortune 500 clients, including Kraft and Ford, to generate new business concepts and innovations. His latest book, 21 Days to a Big Idea, unleashes powerful creative thinking techniques for individuals as well as small business enterprises. His inventive approach as the “new product guru” has been highlighted by the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Business Insider, Fast Company, and countless other entrepreneurial-driven publications. Key takeaways: Stop waiting for inspiration to hit. Simply draw a circle around yourself. What challenges or problems can you solve within this space? Remember when you wished upon a star every night? Return to that juvenile state and make impossible wishes…possible again. Be like Einstein. Give yourself a problem, but spend 55 minutes coming up with the framework of the question. Cultivate the “Chinese menu” brainstorming process – that of Fran Striker and David Bowie. Find out what a 21-day experiment really means. And no, it has nothing to do with a food cleanse. Tune in and turn the volume up for a dose of inspiration and life lessons. That’s how we Live Lead and Play!
