Business of Architecture Podcast
Discover strategies, tips and secrets for running a fun, flexible and profitable architecture practice. The focus here is simple: discussion of ways for architects to create a dream architecture practice: design what you want, when you want, and get paid well for it.

3 years ago, architect Eric Reinholdt started his residential architecture firm on a remote island off the coast of Maine. He faced the challenge of building a successful architecture firm, and winning the kind of projects he wants to work on while also living in a remote location.

Inspired by people like Pat Flynn and Tim Ferriss' book, the 4-hour Work Week, Eric knew that he wanted to build a business that wasn't 100% reliant on the number of hours he worked in a day.

Today, you get an in-depth look at how he's built a practice that combines passive income, products, and service offerings.

Specifically, you'll discover how he uses YouTube video marketing to grow both his architecture firm and his passive income streams.

You'll discover:

  • The truth about earning passive income as an architect
  • How to market your architecture firm using low-cost video tools
  • A little-known trick to getting your content ranked on Google
