In the South, food and music go hand in hand. They define much of what we think of as Southern culture, and they say a lot about our past, our present, and our future. Each week, Sid Evans, Editor in Chief of Southern Living, sits down with musicians, chefs, and other Southern icons to hear the stories of how they grew up, what inspires them, and why they feel connected to the region. Through honest conversations, Sid explores childhood memories, the family meals they still think about, and the intersection of food and music in their lives. Always surprising, always engaging, Biscuits & Jam is a celebration of the South—and the people who are moving it forward every day. New episodes every Tuesday.

för 5 hours sedan54:50

Succession planning—it’s one of the biggest decisions an architecture firm owner will ever make. In this episode, we sit down with CPA and succession planning expert Phillip Ross to explore the key financial and strategic moves every firm should consider when planning their transition. Whether you’re thinking of selling, passing the baton internally, or exploring other options, this conversation uncovers insights most firm owners overlook. We also discuss how to maximize the value of your firm, the critical mistake that can drastically reduce your payout, and why some firms struggle to transition leadership successfully. With years of experience advising architecture, engineering, and construction businesses, Phillip shares what separates firms that thrive post-transition from those that flounder. The little-known factor that makes your firm far more valuable to buyers. Why waiting too long to plan could cost you more than you realize. The surprising advantage of a growing trend in firm ownership transitions. One simple step that can keep top talent from walking away at the worst possible time.

616: Winning Clients Without Lowering Your Fees: Positioning Yourself for Premium Clients with Enoch Sears & Rion Willard 39:13

för 14 dagar sedan39:13

39:13

What sets one architecture firm apart from another? In an industry overflowing with talent, many firms struggle to stand out. In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest challenges architects face—differentiation. Most firms unknowingly blend in, using the same tired strategies as their competitors. But what if those approaches are actually keeping you stuck? We explore why traditional differentiators, like awards and sustainability credentials, often fail to make an impact. We also discuss the surprising ways architects unknowingly limit themselves and how their websites may be working against them. And, of course, we share stories—some frustrating, some eye-opening—about how architects are often perceived by outsiders. If you're tired of competing on fees, struggling to attract the right clients, or feeling like just another name in the industry, this episode is for you. The real reason clients struggle to choose between architects—and it’s not what you think. The common mistake that makes your firm blend in, even when you think you’re standing out. Why some “ugly” websites convert better than beautifully designed ones. The perception problem architects don’t realize they have—until it’s too late. ► Transcription: https://otter.ai/u/SqxF7cICzNIoa8BGd53sflWF0gU?utm_source=copy_url ► Feedback?
