EntreArchitect Podcast with Mark R. LePage

From Artist to Architect Music and literature. Philosophy and physics. History and math. As a student, Lee Skolnick equally prized and devoured these subjects. This passion for knowledge across disciplines led him to architecture, where they all converge. This interdisciplinary view informs Lee's approach to every project. He creates narratives that unfold as people move through his designs, all senses engaged. His work can educate and entertain. Convey meaning and emotion. Provoke thought and imagination. Lee achieves this through a keen understanding of how humans make sense of the world and themselves, which is to say, storytelling. He generates a fully integrated architectural experience to transcend a space's purpose. Since the 1980s, he has been awarded Architectural Digest's AD100, the Presidential Citation for Outstanding Achievement from The Cooper Union , the Lifetime Achievement Award from AIA Long Island, Honorary Visiting Fellow at the University of Leicester in Great Britain, and his work has won numerous local, state and national AIA Honor Awards.

She has a background in architecture, interior design, and entrepreneurship. Her path to business ownership has been a little unconventional. She knew she was an entrepreneur from a very young age and had many businesses by the time she was in high school. She started her design career in interior design, receiving a degree from Chico State in interior design and a business degree in entrepreneurship and small business management. After school, she returned to San Diego to work for her family's construction company, where she learned estimating and gained a deeper knowledge of construction. Eventually, she started and ran their design-build side of the company. After a few years working in design-build, Bryn went on to get her masters in architecture from NewSchool of Architecture and Design. She continued to work on design-build and grow her own business while in school, which led to a successful start of her career upon graduating and 2 AIA awards. Bryn has felt the push to expand and evolve BYoung Design into more than just a typical residential architecture firm. She is involved with her community and is on the Board of Directors at the La Jolla Historical Society. Most recently, she has launched a blog and podcast called Design Create Inspire, which is designed for entrepreneurs, thinkers, designers, and creatives.

Building a Coaching Business for Revit Users John Kinney went to school at Roger Williams College in 1982, then went to the Boston Architectural Center. He started in 1984 at a local architectural firm as an office person and has spent the last 36+ years in and around Boston, MA at many architectural firms, both large and small working on the technical aspect side of the business. John’s background in CADD started roughly after his first year in an architectural office when he jumped at the opportunity to be one of the first young architects in his office to be part of the new CADD department.  Then in 2008 at the age of 44, he volunteered to be part of the newest trend in the office: BIM. During the next 2 years at that firm, he went from being a novice to the firm's BIM Manager. After being laid off, John decided it was time to do what he did best on his own: he started JFK Drawings, Models and Renderings, a consulting firm aimed at helping architects to better use Revit. This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, Building a Coaching Business for Revit Users.
