Episodes

What’s it really like to work in architecture? The hosts of Archispeak know, and they’re here to share real-life experiences. Since 2012 architects Evan Troxel and Cormac Phalen have been podcasting their brand of real talk on everything from design, tools, and work/life balance to generational differences, mentoring, job hunting, and more. Probing questions, revelatory interviews, and unique insights have grown their audience and become a weekly ritual for students and seasoned professionals alike.

#83 - Goals

Archispeak episode 83 is all about goals. We begin the show with a discussion about completing a company performance review, then explore the importance of writing down your goals for both personal and professional growth. "You have to know where you are going in order to get there." 

What are your goals?
