Introducing The Architects & Allies Community I first launched EntreArchitect in 2012 as a platform to help and inspire small firm architects to build better businesses. It is my belief that if we as small firms each individually work to become more successful, financially, as leaders, as small business owners, the profession will grow and benefit as well. And as the profession grows and becomes more resilient the world benefits. Since then, the EntreArchitect Community has grown significantly, including: The EntreArchitect Membership The EntreArchitect Mastermind The EntreArchitect Profit Workshop and Build Your Brand Workshop and all our original products, services, and resources that help small firm entrepreneur architects grow strong healthy businesses. The community outside our membership has grown as well. The EntreArchitect LinkedIn group currently has more than 18,000 members The private Facebook group, The EntreArchitect Community, includes more than 6,000 members. The EntreArchitect Architect Community on Facebook is an amazing community of people. Every day we see dozens of posts, hundreds of comments with support, encouragement, transparency, honesty, and positivity. It's become an online home for thousands of small firm architects throughout the world. For years non-architects within the AEC world have been asking to join us at our private Facebook group, but the fact that it is a private, safe and secure environment is a significant ingredient in the success of the group. Culture is everything and we protect that culture with care. So, The EntreArchitect Community has been exclusive to architects and architecture students from the day we launched. But I understand that we cannot do it alone in this profession. We can't build a better profession without our allies; engineers designers contractors construction pros manufacture representatives consultants service providers AEC media And everyone else working within or serving the AEC industries. These people are our allies. If we want to thrive as a profession, we need to come together to collaborate. Architects & Allies: A Community of Collaboration for AEC Professionals So, we launched Architects & Allies. Architects & Allies is a new community on Facebook, inspired by The EntreArchitect Community. It’s a community of collaboration for AEC Professionals. So on this special episode of EntreArchitect Podcast, I invited my friends John Jones and Bryon McCartney to join me to talk about Architects & Allies and some of the plans we have for this new community. I hope to see you there. —Mark Referenced in this Episode Architects & Allies Facebook Group Architects & Allies Mastermind Click the link above to learn more about this new peer group dedicated to a diverse membership of AEC professionals the Architects and Allies Mastermind.
