Free video here: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/framework Alex Gore joins Enoch Sears for a clear, honest talk about how a firm changes as it grows. This is not a theory-heavy chat. It is a real look at what shifts when you move from trying to survive to trying to lead with more skill, more care, and more control. They talk about the kinds of choices that seem small in the moment but can shape the future of a practice. Alex shares how his thinking has changed over time, where he now draws the line, and why some old advice no longer fits the season he is in. He also opens up about confidence, pressure, and what it really takes to earn trust in business and in design. The episode also explores a few unexpected ideas about team structure, client work, and where real value gets lost.
