    Questions We're Frequently Asked
    Mar 11 2026

    In this episode of As Built, co-hosts Patience Jones and Brian Jones tackle the most frequently asked marketing questions they hear from professionals across all industries and leadership levels, no live audience required.

    They cover which social media platforms your firm actually needs to be on (and why cross-posting the same content everywhere is a waste of time), whether social media is truly non-negotiable for firm growth, and the real reasons your award-worthy project might not be getting published. They also dig into the "easy button" question every firm asks: what's the single most impactful thing you can do for marketing when time is limited?


    Whether you're just getting started or refining an existing strategy, this episode offers honest, practical guidance rooted in years of experience working with architecture and design firms. Subscribe to As Built wherever you listen to podcasts so you never miss an episode.

    Building Up Resilience
    Jan 28 2026

    Resilience might be the thing your firm needs most right now: the ability to withstand hardship and to come back. Resilience is not never having a bad day. Resilience is not never being upset or never disappointed or never sad. What is resilience? Why does being resilient matter? How can you become more resilient?
