Anthony Laney didn't "get lucky." He was nudged by a mentor who asked a few pointed questions that changed his path. What followed was a slow, intentional climb from modest beginnings to a studio known for exceptional residential work.

In this conversation, you'll hear how Anthony thinks about designing the practice, not just the projects. He shares how he built momentum without betting the farm, why he keeps investing in guidance, and what happens when a team learns to treat truth as fuel instead of a threat.

You'll also catch the mindset shifts behind growth: how to face uncertainty, turn hard moments into process upgrades, and build a culture where high standards feel energizing, not crushing.

• The simple outreach move that made other firms want to send him work (and why most architects never try it).
• The "feedback rule" that sounds intense… until you hear what it does to performance and trust.
• The quiet metric he watches that reveals more about a firm's health than "busy" ever will.

Architects often feel squeezed by low fees that leave them overworked, under-supported, and with little time for true design. For small and residential firms in particular, this cycle can feel endless—too little profit, no space to hire help, and constant pressure to "make it work."

Enoch and Rion explore how undercharging starts long before you send a fee proposal, and how one awkward early project shaped Enoch's view of money. They show why "breaking even" is actually a warning sign, not a win.

You'll hear how low fees trap small and residential firms in a cycle of stress, weak hiring, and no time for real design. Together they reveal the shift in mindset that lets you really charge more and feel good about it.

• The quiet habit that makes even good projects unprofitable
• A pricing mistake that keeps you from hiring help
• One mental switch that lifts your fees without changing your service
