Today's guest has a remarkable story. He grew up with a father who ran a successful and well-known architecture firm in St. Louis Missouri. Following in his father's footsteps, he went to Cornell University to study architecture. That's where we actually met, back in our college days. Today's guest is Thomas Wall, an owner of Mitchell Wall Architecture and Design based in St. Louis, Mo. The firm's work has been awarded numerous awards, and in 2017 Tom was listed as one of St. Louis's 5 under 40. Tom is the kind of guy that always has a smile for you. From what I knew of Tom at school, he 'gets' people, and he's used this successfully grow the firm. What you'd never guess unless you know Tom personally, is that his father passed away unexpectedly while he was in school. In today's episode, you'll hear how Tom bounced back from those dark days and found his place in architecture. You'll be moved, touched and inspired.

Let's face it - right now we're facing some unprecedented circumstances. Schools are shutting down, gatherings are cancelled - there's no question that this will have a real economic impact for many of us. So what should we do? How will this impact architects and the architecture industry? With all that's going on, it's far too easy to slip into worry, anxiety and fear. I'm struggling with this myself. We moved into a new house last year and with six kids, a business and team members, I have some decent monthly expenses. It's too easy to worry about what might happen - this does no good at all. When we're fearful, that's when we retreat and stop taking positive actions. What I'd remind you today is that it isn't the circumstances or the challenges that define us - it's how we respond to these challenges. Let me repeat that: it isn't the circumstances or the challenges that define us - it's how we respond to these challenges. No one individual has control over what is happening right now. The only thing within our control is how we respond. Are you with me? So, how do we respond? How do we move ahead with the best foot forward? How do we make sure that the best version of "US" continues to show up every day? Today I want to give you 5 strategies for moving ahead with power and faith.
You got this. You've been through challenges before and you'll make it through this one stronger than ever before. A last tip is to look at alternate ways of packaging your services as an architect. There are some very cool things you can do to deal with times like this and still stay profitable and moving ahead. This Friday, March 20th, Rion Willard and I are hosting a webinar around COVID-19, what it means for architects, and how to thrive (not just survive) in a possible down market. I'm not saying a down market will happen - and I hope it doesn't but we all know these cycles come and go - the best time to get prepared is yesterday and the second best time to be prepared is today!
