Did you know that less than 7% of podcasts make it to 100 episodes?

Well, we've just reached that milestone with this our 100th episode.

Over the past couple of years, we've shared conversations with

architects, entrepreneurs, coaches, and creatives from around the world.

For this special 100th episode, I asked past guests and listeners

to send me a short voicemail.

What you'll hear today are their reflections, tips, and good wishes

stitched together into a celebration of everything we've built so far.

Hey John.

It's Chris Ducker here from upno.com.

Just wanted to chime in real quick and wish you a massive congratulations

on the 100th episode of the Architecture Business Club podcast.

No small feat at all for any show in any industry to get to a hundred episodes.

So congratulations to you, your listeners, and everyone involved in the show.

Keep doing what you do, your real inspiration.

It's Bob Gentle from the Building Your Leader Brand podcast.

I just wanted to say well done.

A hundred episodes seems like a mountain to climb when you start, and you have

climbed it with quite some 20,000 downloads, every one of them, pure gold.

Specifically for your audience, you have innovated the podcast.

Hey John, this is Brian McCartney for Mark.

Mark.

I wanted to reach out and say congratulations on a hundred episodes

of Architecture Business Club.

That's a great achievement and you should be really proud of what you've done.

I was, very thrilled to be on your show and look forward

to coming back on sometime.

Enjoy this celebration and, uh, we'll talk soon.

Let's hear from more of our guests about what

the show has meant to them.

First, some reflections from past guests on the value of the

podcast and what it's meant to them personally and professionally.

Angela Lyons from Lions Creative.

I just wanted to say congratulations.

Gosh, what a milestone to reach hundredth episode.

That is amazing.

So well done.

Um, congratulations to you.

I'd come on here to actually say congratulations because you helped

me loads with my podcast even.

I was interviewed on your podcast and we talked quite a bit that we separated

into two parts, which I absolutely loved, and you're doing an amazing job.

So thank you for having me on your podcast, but you also helped with my

podcast and inspired me to get things going and put things production,

I suppose, in the right place.

So thank you so much.

Um, I am ever grateful for you and, um, I'm really glad that, um.

We've got to know each other over the years, and you keep

going with your podcast.

Celebrate View on the 200th episode maybe.

Um, good luck and all the best and congrats.

Um, how are you gonna celebrate, um, another podcast episode, another,

um, slice of cake, champagne, maybe.

Whatever you do.

Congratulations.

And, um, keep going.

You are fantastic.

Here's Joe Wright, architect and founder of Joe Wright's

Architects and Guest on episode 79.

Hi, John.

Many congratulations on the hundredth episode of Architecture Business Club.

It's a fantastic podcast.

Uh, it's so helpful to me.

I'm sure to many, many others, you're a fantastic host and you

bring in absolutely brilliant guests.

I've learned so many insights and tips, um, over the, over the

episodes that I've listened to.

And there was a time actually when I first started listening to the podcast where

I felt the practice was in a bit of a hole and I was, I was coasting and the.

Podcast and the content and the guests and the subject matter really helped

me take a step back from the day-to-day grind and, and think about the business

as a, as a, as an entity, as a strategic thing that, that I was actually steering,

a healthy thing for me to do and it really just helped me, um, get back into

the driver's seat and, and control it.

And there's that, and it, they're just really fun.

Hi everyone.

This is Ann Vanner, and I just want to say a huge congratulations to the

Architecture Business Club podcast on reaching its hundredth episode.

It's been such a pleasure to be part of the journey as a guest and to

see how this platform has grown into such a valuable resource for us all.

Here's mindset expert and business strategist Mark Franklin.

Happy 100 episodes for the Architecture Business Club.

John, congratulations.

You're doing amazing things.

I know the show is not just about architecture.

You've pulled together a fantastic list of really fascinating and

creative guests who are starting so many brilliant conversations.

You, yourself.

A phenomenal host.

I remember my time on episode, what was it, 73.

You've got some great questions in there, making me really think about my own story.

I really hope your many, many, many listeners continue to enjoy the show.

Here's to the next 100, and thank you again for everything that you're doing.

Cheers, man.

Here's Aya Schlachter, CEO, and founder of MGS Global

Group and Guest on episode 35.

Just wanted to say congratulations on 100 episodes.

What you've built with Architecture Business Club is truly amazing.

You may not always know who's on the other side listening, but the value

you're sharing is making a huge impact.

I can say that from experience, it changes lives in a ways you may not even realize.

Your passion and authenticity make big topics, easy to understand,

and your kindness really comes through in every episode.

As a fellow podcaster, I know this milestone is huge.

Most podcasts don't even make it past episode three, so 100

is something to be proud of.

Thanks again for having me as a guest.

It was such an honor.

Excited to keep listening and see what you do in the next 100.

Congrats again, John.

Uh, Richard Petri here, and I just want to congratulate you on

the hundredth podcast for your show.

It's remarkable effort of consistency and stamina.

Um, the reason I think it's really important.

Is that, uh, I think architecture, someone said to me once that there is no other

profession in the world that has their fees questioned as much as an architect.

And I think that's probably true given the years that you have to

go through to become qualified.

You know, you train as long as a doctor or a lawyer, but you're not

paid like a doctor or a lawyer.

And so the, the service that you are doing.

Um, and that we're all trying to do, uh, to try and help the design

profession to get paid what they're worth, uh, is something I, I think,

is a great thing to be doing.

So congratulations on your hundredth episode.

It's a remarkable achievement.

I certainly enjoyed, uh, the interview that we did, and congratulations,

and I wish you all the best for a long, successful future.

And congratulations and well done to all your listeners.

My name's Beatriz Chetty, and I recently guested on the

Architecture Business Club podcast.

I enjoy the experience massively.

John is a great host.

We had an amazing chat.

What I love about this show is that John has created a true

knowledge hub for any small.

Um, business owner in the architecture space, there's advice about

marketing, running a business, the financial side of things.

Everything is super hands-on, super, super valuable.

Congratulations, John on creating such an amazing platform for us.

It's James Talman from the National Federation of Roofing Contract.

Uh, many congratulations on your hundredth episode of the Architecture Business Club.

Believe it or not, I remember I was on episode 15 with you and we, chatted

about reducing risk in roof design.

Early engagement is vital that we can have design that can

be built with no compromises.

So once again, many congratulations and speak soon.

Here's Maya Kovacic, kra, former architect and marketing

coach and guest on episode 84.

Maja Kovacic-Kalra: congratulations on your 100th episode on your

podcast and to many, many more, to hundreds and hundreds more.

That's an amazing achievement, and you were my first podcast that I ever done.

I was a little bit nervous, but, um, you made it so good,

so smooth, and so enjoyable.

Then I. Really enjoyed it and I will do it again.

So if you ever want me to be your future guest on another podcast, I

would be very, very happy to do it.

So again, be congratulations and to, uh, great podcast future

or whatever you decide to do.

Here's Derek Tims, architect and founder at the Sourcing

Collective and Guest on episode 59.

Hi, John.

Congratulations to you and the Architecture Business Club for

reaching your hundredth episode.

It's really a fantastic achievement to be proud of.

Keep them coming.

They're really helpful and supportive, and all the best for the future.

Cheers, Derek.

Here's Helen nurse, co-founder of Digital Agency,

capture One and Guest on episode 74.

Hi, John, huge congratulations on hitting

a hundred episodes of the Architecture Business Club.

I loved being a guest and sharing how architects can use WhatsApp to

connect with clients in a smarter way.

And what I really admire.

For your podcast is your consistency.

So few people manage to keep going week after week.

It's such a credit to you and the value you bring.

And what I really love about the show is how practical and helpful

and honest your conversations are.

Um, you have such a great range of guests and it's just, just dead helpful.

So here's to the next a hundred.

Uh, I'm Ray Brown from Archus.

I've had the pleasure of, uh, appearing on John's podcast, uh, a couple of times now.

And I'm always pleased to speak to John 'cause he's so bright and

breezy and he cares so much about the architectural profession.

And he and I, uh, share some real, shared thoughts about architecture

and how architecture needs to change, and in particular, in the

business side of architecture.

No point in saying no one teaches us about business.

Uh, when there are people like John around and.

Companies like Archibus.

So, um, congratulations John.

I see you've just reached 20,000 downloads.

Uh, that's fantastic.

Uh, keep up the good work and, uh, always keen to be on your podcast.

If you'll have me again,

Of course this podcast wouldn't be what it is without the

people who listen week after week.

Here are some voices from our podcast community.

It's Lee Smith there.

Congratulations on making it to a hundred episodes.

You don't look a day over 40.

The podcast is a highlight of my Thursday.

I guess what I love the most about the show is the sheer variety of guests you

have on, from people talking about bullet journaling or time management through

to marketing gurus talking about online content or architectural photography.

As a small business owner, it really is a valuable resource.

It's Steven from Nixon Architecture.

Keep up the Good work.

The Architecture Business Club Weekly podcast is fantastic.

You've had a hundred episodes, so roll on 1000.

Cheers.

Here's Vlad Borisov, architectural designer and

founder of Monochro Design Studio.

Congratulations on the 100 episodes.

That's a massive milestone.

Thanks for all the hard work you put in the show has been genuinely useful and

encouraging for small practices like mine.

I love how practical it is.

You naturally draw out real usable advice from your guests in your show episodes.

I like how you reflect on the good as well as the challenges we face.

It makes me feel I'm not alone in this.

I'm really enjoying being part of your community.

Thanks again, and bring on the next 100.

A big part of the Architecture Business Club has always

been sharing practical advice that you can take away and use in your own business.

So here are some quick fire tips from past guests.

We will start with tips around content, consistency and marketing.

A tip for the audience is.

It's an ongoing learning curve.

Never stop learning.

Podcasts like this are great ways to just stay up to date.

There is always something you don't know.

No matter whether you've been running the business for five

days, five years, or 10 years.

Here's Ellie Senior Freelance copywriter and guest on episode 65.

Hi John, amazing to hear you now.

Have no less than a hundred episodes in the podcast can I absolutely love

listening to Architecture Business Club and I regularly recommend you to

clients in the construction sector.

Uh, in fact, I also regularly recommend you to people who have nothing to

do with the architecture sector.

Um.

I've picked up some really great tips along the way and like sharing them too.

Uh, a couple of my favorites have been Melanie Boylan, opening my

eyes to how tragically I had been ignoring my Google Business profile.

Uh, check out Ellie s Copywriting.

Now.

Melanie, I hope you'll be impressed.

And Colin Gray's advice on how to be a brilliant podcast guest set

me up wonderfully in the weeks leading up to my own episode on

the Architecture Business Club.

So, congrats John and I look forward to hearing the next hundred.

Hey John, it's Melanie here.

Thank you so much for having me on the podcast, and I discussed setting up your

Google business profile to get more leads.

I really enjoy being a guest and sharing practical steps that can help

architects get seen by the right clients.

Do you know what I really love about your show?

Is how it always comes back to helping architects, not just with marketing,

but with building businesses that give them some more freedom and balance.

It's clear you really care about the people behind the practice.

Just one top tip.

Please don't forget to update your Google business profile,

even if it's once a month.

Just keep it alive with new photos, posts, and updates.

Even really small tweaks can make a huge difference to being found in search.

Anyway, I'm still listening and I look forward to hearing your next episode soon.

Take care.

Here's Colin Gray, podcasting experts and guest on episode 51.

Hey, John.

Congratulations on hitting that big 100.

Such a milestone.

It's amazing, uh, you said to maybe give a tip for your audience, but I think the

big tip is really to follow in that, uh, that example really that consistency.

That is how content works.

That is how you create something that attracts an audience that

then turns into something that can grow your own work, whether it's an

architecture practice or whatever else.

So really learn from that.

Put aside a time.

In your week, you know, half a day, a couple of hours even, just to

create some kind of content that you think will work for your audience.

And just to learn from something, I was talking to a client earlier on about,

actually around angles as well, like that uniqueness, you know, if you can niche

down and find a, an area of your space.

So maybe it's like instead of just architecture, it's eco

architecture, or maybe it's an angle.

It's a bit of your experience that you bring to it.

You're not just an architect, but you're an architect that came from

an artistic background, and so everything you talk about actually

has that artistic slant on it.

Those are the things that can make your topic stand out, your content stand out.

So combine that with the consistency of getting someone out every single week,

and you're sure to grow an audience.

So congrats John.

Well done on hitting episode 100.

Here's Fabio Zammit, software engineer and guest on episode 48.

John, congratulations for creating such a fantastic podcast.

You are truly a great host to bring so much love and passion to the show.

You are a brilliant example of how a host can make guests feel

both comfortable and engaged.

Definitely someone we can all learn from.

Not only did I enjoy the conversation, but it was also great fun to step

outside of my industry for a change.

One tip I would like to share with the audience.

Just like in any area of business, persistence is key

when building your web presence.

John, I would like to wish both you and your audience all the best.

Next, some advice on positioning your services and making sure

your clients are really ready to buy.

Here's Susanna Ray, the UK's authority architect and guest on episode 92.

Congratulations, John, on your episode 100.

A reminder for your listeners to focus on the USP.

This is the unique service premise.

We spoke about it in depth in our episode together.

I'm Susanna Ray.

And I am the authority architect, and I really encourage people to step

up and own their unique perspective.

What makes them different?

Here's service positioning expert Janine Coombs, who is a

guest back on episode number two.

congratulations on your hundredth episode of the

Architecture Business Club podcast.

I'm not surprised that you, you are in it for the long haul.

You are an absolute natural.

If I could give your listeners a tip, it would be to.

See their prospects and the people they're talking to who might be interested in

their services through the lens of whether they are ready to take action or not.

Do they have the budget?

Do they have the willingness to proceed?

Are they mentally able to proceed?

Speaking to people who look vaguely interested but actually aren't ready to

take any action is really dispiriting.

So have that in mind.

Next time you are having a sales conversation or you see somebody

you think would be an ideal client.

Maybe they're not.

Are they ready to buy?

Well done again.

It's such a great podcast.

Thank you for having me.

Have you got an interesting story about running

your architecture practice?

Have you done something different in your business that's been hugely successful?

Or has a failure taught you an important lesson that you'd be willing to share?

Now let's get back to the show.

Now for some tips on implementing what you learn, getting visibility

and stepping into thought leadership.

Here's the sales lady Helen Tebay, who is a guest on episodes 55 and 56.

Thank you so much for inviting me on as a guest to your

podcast and a massive congratulations on the hundredth episode.

I absolutely love this podcast because the, the sort, breadth and depth of

the knowledge that your audience.

Can tap into is just unrivaled.

And it's always like the topics that, you know, I see business owners struggling

with, especially in a technical industry.

So I think you're doing really well to support your audience, giving them

massive amount of value and then they get to go and experience that and use

it and plug it into their business.

I think keep doing future episodes like that for sure.

Things that people struggle with, that people don't tend to share and talk

about, managing your energy, your mind, sales, marketing, all that kind of stuff.

Is that amazing.

And a tip for the audience, I would definitely say is to just make some time.

After the podcast, that particular episode that you were drawn to,

to actually go and implement.

'cause it's all good.

Well, hearing things and listening to things, connect with those people,

those experts and those guest speakers tap into their network, ask questions,

learn and like, implement, and then you get the best of the actual learning.

Hi, John.

It's Antoinette Chap here from Art Writing Translation Services.

Thank you so much for inviting me to be a guest on your podcast.

It was the first podcast I've ever done and you made it very comfortable

for me and very much put me at ease.

So thank you for that.

I really enjoyed the opportunities to talk about how I help C-Suite executives

and founders establish themselves as.

Thought leaders.

I actually bumped into someone who's an architect, uh, last week at a networking

launch, and he said he'd actually listened to the podcast and I said, that's great.

What takeaway did you get from it?

And he said, well, it just made me realize I need to take up swimming again.

Not quite the response I was hoping for, but there you go.

At least it made him take pos positive steps.

So I wish you all the best of luck.

In the future, I can't believe you made it to episode a hundred.

I remember when I met you and you were talking about starting

a podcast, and now here you are.

I wish you best of luck with the next hundred, and if you ever want

me to be a guest again, I'd love to.

Here's Jackie Goddard, public speaking coach and guest on episode 42.

Hi John.

Congratulations.

A hundred episodes of your podcast.

I mean, that's quite an achievement.

What a milestone.

So well done and I was so honored and happy to be asked to be a

guest on the podcast with you.

So thank you for the invite and I loved talking to you about public speaking

'cause it is what I do and what I love to do, and I do hope some of what I

shared was of benefit to your listeners.

So just to leave you with the three Bs, uh, if you want to be

a fabulous public speaker, uh, you need to know these three Bs.

So the first B is believe.

Believe what you are saying, because if you don't believe

it, your audience won't either.

The second one be for breathe nice deep breaths.

When you find your nice deep belly breath, then that's when you get to support and

sustain your voice with your breath.

So breathing is a big one.

And the last one, be prepared.

Make sure that you are not winging it.

Do it, uh, properly from the beginning.

Get really researched and really well prepared.

And, uh, once you've got your talk sorted, make sure you practice,

practice and practice again.

So congratulations again, John and I look forward to listening to the

up and coming next hundred podcasts.

So congratulations.

Here's brand photographer Catherine Turner and guest on episode 90.

Hey, John, just wanted to say thank you so much for

having me as a guest on your podcast.

Um, it was absolutely lovely to be there with you.

Um, you are such a great host.

You know, I hope you're gonna take all this praise on your hundredth

episode because it was well deserved.

Um, you know, you really made me feel comfortable.

It was like I could just see it.

Listen to the questions.

Answer without any pressure, without feeling like I've gotta be fancy

pants about my answers, and I could just answer and speak to you with

like, just a normal human being.

And it felt really, really easy to make it flow.

Um, and I love the edit.

Brilliant.

Absolutely.

Super, super quick and super slick and super easy.

Um, the way you do that is magic.

You are magic.

Um, I'd just like to leave your listeners one little tip, if I may.

Um.

Traditionally, you may not want to be out there putting your face on your

brand, but if you can just dare to brave it, then maybe you'll be the one that's

different and you'll be stand out even if you have that kind of introverted nature.

That's okay too.

Introverts are allowed to show their face two.

So go ahead, be the one to book your shoot.

Get yourself on your website and into your social media so that people can get

to know the people behind your brand.

And finally some guidance on running the business

and keeping an eye on the numbers.

Mood.

Reza here from the accounting firm.

I hate numbers.

Founder, director, and author of the book of the same name and also podcast.

I hate numbers.

John, happy 100th episode.

That's a fantastic achievement to go from nothing to something.

You built up a great.

Body of work, you deliver value to your audience, and I love your

podcast in a sense that A, it gives something that people need as

architects gives 'em that support, that tapping into expertise and knowledge.

It's said with affability professionalism as well.

Obviously the fact you had me as a guest on your show obviously

shows what good taste you've got.

So architects out there of today and tomorrow.

Carry on listing.

Clock up that another 100 episodes and make sure you build up those

businesses that are sustainable.

Deliver your why.

Keep an eye on your numbers and don't have any embarrassment about making money.

Making profits.

Profits is what keeps you going, enabling you to do what you

love tomorrow as well as today.

John, I hope I can be a guest again on your show in the future.

Until then, enjoy the glass of fierce kudos and celebrations.

Here's Haley Watts, productivity and habits.

Coach and guest on episode 81.

Hey John, congratulations on a hundred episodes of podcasts that cover

so much diversity in terms of the things that we need to know, um, for business.

I absolutely loved my episodes with you talking around habits and how we make

working life feel easier for people.

It was one of my early experiences of being a podcast guest and you really

made me feel relaxed and comfortable.

Uh, so I really appreciate that.

I'm looking forward to seeing what's in the next 200 episodes.

Here's architect, illustrator, and educator, Chris Simmons,

who is a guest back on episode 28.

Happy 100th birthday.

John, you don't look at day over 45.

It's your fellow architecture podcaster here, Chris, and I just

wanted to say congratulations on making it to a hundred episodes.

You're doing amazing work now.

We speak a lot about the power of consistency in our lives and in our

careers, and you really have kept up the pace continuing to produce

high quality and really informative episodes for your audience.

I, I do love how each guest is framed around a problem to

solve or a specific skill that us business owners need to know.

I really enjoyed some of the most recent episodes, like the one with

Cole Turner or the one with Susie Lober, but obviously my favorite is

episode 28, where you and I discuss the power of mentoring in architecture go.

So keep doing what you're doing and hopefully I'll see you at the

next Podcaster of the Year awards.

Thanks.

Bye.

Hi John.

It's Anna Lundberg here from One Step Outside.

Huge congratulations on hitting 100 episodes.

I loved our conversation about breaking free from the nine to five, because one

of the biggest pitfalls I see when you start your own practice is that you can

end up just recreating your old job, same hours, same stresses, just without

the salary or support the opportunity.

And really the responsibility is to pause and define your

own version of success first.

What do you actually want your business to give you?

Freedom of time, more creative projects, financial stability, the

chance to work locally, globally.

Once you're clear on that, you can get intentional about your business

model, and you can design it around your life instead of squeezing

your life in around your work.

Funnily enough, I think you've rubbed off on me.

I've started using some architectural language in my own work with an

intentional business blueprint and even a new program called The Architect.

So you've clearly had an impact beyond your industry.

Congratulations again, John, and here's to the next 100 episodes.

It is not just about strategy and numbers, though many

of our conversations have explored the human side of architecture and

business, wellbeing, creativity, and the careers we want to build.

Hi, John.

Tom Lewis here from New Works.

Thanks for featuring our practice when we launched.

Uh, the podcast is great.

Congratulations getting hundred episodes.

It's really important.

Business of architecture is highlighted as much as architecture itself.

And I think your, your podcast doing an amazing job of that.

Here's another hundred.

Hi, John, Doug Hodgeson here from New Works to say congratulations on

the century and to say thank you again for the opportunity to discuss mental

health and wellbeing in the architectural profession, and importantly, how we

can change to a new way of working to address these important matters

as we discuss the profession needs to value and respect our own wellbeing

as individual architects and not just looking to celebrate the architecture.

We're all passionate to help create.

Hopefully we'll be able to continue our conversation, encouraging more in

the profession to work collaboratively within our specialisms to promote

sustainable methods of construction and improve our collective mental health.

Maybe the ROBA could help with that rather than pitting us against

each other in wasteful competitions and expensive award ceremonies.

They could work to unite us as a union for architects.

Congratulations again and look forward to catching up again soon.

Hi, John.

It's Mel Barfield here, previous guest and your friend.

I wanted to say huge congratulations to you for reaching 100 episodes.

As a podcaster myself, I know the work.

I know the work that goes into creating a podcast and staying consistent with.

So, um, we, with Indie Business Club, we've reached 30, about 32 episodes at the

moment, at the, at the time of recording.

So we're not even a third of the way to where you are,

and I just can't imagine how.

Pleased you are how proud of yourself.

Hopefully you're proud of yourself.

You absolutely should be for reaching 100 episodes triple digits.

So huge.

Congratulations and just keep, um, keep, keep putting out excellent content.

I know from my experience of being a guest of yours, how incredibly

thorough you are with your preliminary work before you interview people.

Um, I think a lot of, um, interview-based podcasts could.

Could do is learning a, a thing or two from you about how to do due diligence.

We've learned a, a thing or two from you about doing due diligence

as well, even though ours isn't a, an interview based one.

Um, I just think you are incredibly thorough, incredibly passionate

about it, and that really comes through in the end product.

So a huge, huge congratulations on reaching 100 your podcast century.

Um, congratulations and here's to the next 100.

A few people also shared thoughts on how the podcast could evolve

from round tables and panel discussions to new topics for future episodes.

What I would love to see in future episodes is perhaps

hearing the stories of, you know, the entrepreneurs and the businesses, um,

that are listening to the podcast.

Hello, John.

It's uh, Ross from RAG Designs in ton wood.

I'd be interested to hear, uh, something on Kobe and BIM and

their role in, um, big projects.

We've got one on, uh, project at the moment.

That'd be interesting to hear someone else's take on it.

Um, love the content so far.

This is Bardi.

I just wanted to say a massive congratulations for reaching

a hundred podcast episodes.

That's quite an achievement and a lot of people drop off.

Um, so well done.

And.

I just wanted to say how great you were as a host on the

podcast episode that I was on.

Very organized and a very natural conversation, which I love, as

well as just generally the range of episodes that you have on your show

covers a wide range of different.

Business related topics.

So there's always something useful, um, for all sorts of people as well as the

people, um, in the architecture space.

In terms of maybe what, um, I would love for a future is maybe it could

be an option for a panel or some sort of group around a particular type

of, um, service between some of your guests could be an interesting take.

I don't see many people do that.

Obviously I'd love to be involved and, um, yeah.

Congratulations again, and thank you for having me as a guest.

It's Laura Perman here.

I just wanted to jump on and say congratulations on

hitting a hundred episodes.

I think you and I could probably talk for hours about everything and nothing.

And when we recorded my episode, it really did feel just like one

of our natural conversations.

That's a rare talent to make people feel so at ease, and you've put it to great

use, galvanize and connection here across the architectural community in the uk.

And beyond.

One thing we touched on in my episode that really sticks with me is consistency.

It's not glamorous.

It's not a shiny quick win, but whether it's in personal branding

or podcasting, showing up again and again is what builds real impact.

And John, your living proof of that with this milestone.

Here's to the next hundred, and I'd love to come back one day maybe for a

panel discussion with some of the other amazing branding experts you featured.

What about a bit of a round table where we take questions from your growing audience?

It would be a fun Teta Tet, and a huge value add for listeners.

Congratulations, John.

You've built something really special.

Before we wrap up, I just want to say a huge thank you to every

guest who's shared their expertise, to every listener who has tuned in,

and And to everyone who took the time to send a message for this episode,

producing 100 episodes hasn't always been easy, but it's been one of the most

rewarding things that I have ever done.

So here's to the next hundred.

Here's Rachel Stance, communications experts, and copywriter, who

is a guest on episode 89.

Hi John and everyone in the architecture business club.

What a fantastic achievement.

A hundred episodes.

That's absolutely amazing and what a lot of things you have covered in that time.

I think one of the brilliant things about this show is the variety.

When you start a business, you start it because you love what you do and you've

got a talent for something, and then you realize all of the other hats that you

have to wear and all the other things that you need to, that suddenly come on

your radar that you had no idea about.

And I think it's great to have a show that.

A understands that's the situation that you are in and helps you with those things

that maybe are new to you or that you feel are not necessarily the things that your

strong points, uh, but also that talks about things in lots of different ways.

So you have.

Different people coming in that look at things from different angles.

So if one organizational thing doesn't work for your brain, somebody's gonna

talk about something else, which will, and somebody's going to come in and

say, oh, you might have this problem and it might be something that nobody's

ever talked to you about before, but they are an expert in that and

they're able to talk you through it.

And I think that's such a wonderful.

Opportunity and such a great resource that you can turn to something like this

and find answers and people who get you.

So again, congratulations on a hundred episodes.

Congratulations on your hundredth episode.

It's Liz from Interior Zing Interior Architecture.

Just want to say what great podcast it is really informative.

Great content.

I've learned so much since listening and, uh, it's kind of like having my

little online friend because every week I listen in to your calming

voice, and it's just really comforting.

So that's it for our 100th episode.

Thank you for listening, and I'll see you in the next one.

I.

Next time I'm joined by William Rings Dorf to discuss the problem of undervaluing

your expertise and how you can fix it.
