Profitable Architect Online Podcast

Storytelling is what makes the world go round.

It is about the way you tell the story that can make or break your relationship with an audience.

In this episode, I will discuss:

- Six basic attractive character storylines
- And how you can use them to communicate your brand with your audience.

Let's look into the different identities which are famously talked about in digital marketing.

They can be compared to archetypes in mythology. The creation of an avatar corresponds with how you communicate and interact, and how the audience reacts to you.
In this episode, I will discuss:

- Attractive character avatars
- And how taking on a well-defined persona online can make it easier for you to build a relatable brand

People are looking for human elements and human experiences, they want relatability, approachability and intimacy.

And you can show all of the above when you open up to sharing more of yourself on social media.

So in this episode, I will discuss:

- And how to do that so that you can become an attractive character and gain real fans.

Have you ever fallen into the trap of believing, that you just have to push through because once you complete "this project", "this work contract", "this client" your career will elevate to "the next level?"

In this episode I will discuss:

- an overlooked ingredient of a successful career in architecture

- and where to begin to start communicating your unique value proposition today!

To make a change you have to think outside of what seems familiar to you. You have to step out of your current mentality, current belief system and simply learn to see the world differently.

So in this episode, I will discuss:

- The biggest paradox to taking your architecture career into your own hands.

- And I will show you exactly how you can take action now, to once and for all say your goodbyes to confusion and the feeling of running on a hamster wheel that just keeps spinning and spinning, faster and faster as you are going nowhere.  

They told us to follow our passion, but is that really so?

I can tell you straight up that that's a bunch of BS! You should look beyond that advice if you really want to find fulfilment in your career!

In this episode I will discuss:

- The secret to a fulfilling career as an Architect,

- And how to practically implement it in your life.

There comes a moment in each and every single one of our lives where we have to confront our values.

These internal values we hold to are what we express into the world.

So in this episode, I will discuss:

- The true importance of value
- And give you some great pointers as to where to start with establishing a stronger value for yourself as an Architect.

Commoditized fee structures, salary pressure and low-profit margins are all symptoms of a larger disease: the actual value that architects create is not realised for them financially.

It is a prominent issue which doesn’t just happen in one country or to a certain group of architects, it is a general problem which undeniably contributes to a level of disarray affecting all aspects of our life.

So in this episode, I will discuss:

- The 3 key issues that prove for the current system of both academia and practice to be broken

- And a vision of a better, more inclusive future which is a key driver behind why I take a voice, through hosting this podcast.
