A candid conversation on leading with empathy, adapting to disruption, and designing with purpose in a digital age.
In this engaging and forward-focused conversation, Mark R. LePage, AIA, NCARB, founder of EntreArchitect and host of the EntreArchitect Podcast, sits down with longtime collaborator Jeff Echols, Fractional Chief Innovation Officer guiding AEC leaders on innovation, to explore how architects can thrive at the intersection of rapid technological innovation and timeless human connection.
