Ep.016- Scott Wallenhorst, AIA - The Power of Good Mentors
Episode 016 of the Antidote One Podcast was a "proud poppa" moment for me. I interviewed Scott Wallenhorst, AIA who is a friend and also a graduate of the Architect Accelerator coaching program.
Scott shares his journey of seeking licensure and finding the "right firm" to work for throughout his career. His path is not uncommon to most of us. Seeking mentorship along the way and guidance that seems to elude all young architects at times.
I selfishly must say that I am proud of all that Scott has recently achieved and I look forward to seeing what he will do next. Please click the link below to hear his story of becoming an architect.

Ep 007 - Architecture & Hard Work w/ My College Professor: William Dean AIA
In episode 007 of the podcast I interview my college professor Willian Dean, AIA who is currently the Chair of the Architecture Department at SUNY Alfred.
We discuss having a plan, working hard, making mistakes and how college is just a part of the journey on a longer path.
William (Bill) with over 35 years in a professional and academic career has opened the eyes of his students and created the "Urban Design Studio" in collaboration with student and communities in Western New York. This program focuses on revitalizing downtown neighboorhoods and business corridors.
This is a most interesting and reflective episode for me as we also dig into what my design studio looked like 20 years ago with Bill as a new professor. I must admit our class gave him a run for his money, while we were learning how hard work would later pay off.
