About this listen
End chaos in your firm—300+ peers use this framework. Free video here: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/framework
What does it take to lead one of the oldest architecture firms in America—and keep it thriving? In this episode, Troy Thompson and Roxanne Malek pull back the curtain on how legacy, leadership, and long-term thinking come together inside SmithGroup. But don’t expect the usual corporate jargon—this is a rare look into the mindset behind real, lasting success.
From navigating ambiguity to balancing profit and purpose, they share lessons learned from decades of growth. You’ll hear how they make bold decisions without losing their soul—or their sanity. And why true leadership in architecture today means designing much more than buildings.
Listen now to discover:
- The one trait no architecture school teaches—but every top leader needs
- Why "more money" isn’t the real goal (and what actually is)
- How to scale a firm without becoming a soulless machine
This episode will challenge how you see success—and how you lead.
