It’s finally here… Episode 001 of The Entrepreneur Architect Podcast.
In this first episode, I sit down with Christopher Pollard, Founder and CEO of Anon Design Collective (live at Fivecat Studio). He is trained as an architect, but has taken his career in a very different direction.
Chris says, “Architecture is Dead”. Listen and find out if you agree.

Great podcast! It would have been interesting to see some images of the xbox, coco-cola projects in your post.
Thanks for the feedback. Adding images to the post for the podcasts is a great idea. I will see what I can do with future episodes.
Are you going to publish your podcast via itunes? I ask because its just the easiest way for me to get this in my podcast pipeline. There may be many reasons why dealing with Apple is not worth it, but I know I am much more likely to listen if its mindless to get this on my ipod/phone.
Yes. The podcast has been submitted to iTunes. There is a bit of a lag, due to their approval process. I will post a link as soon as its up and available for subscription. I have been getting many iTunes related comments, so you are not alone. Thanks Greg.
Great job Mark, well done! Looking forward to more greatness…
Thanks Enoch. As you know, it takes a whole bunch of work, but it is truly amazing how much I am learning. Thanks for the encouragement.
I’m almost a month late to this initial podcast. A great kick-off indeed.
Mr. Pollard’s touchpoint reference was the well known architectural caricature “Art Vandelay” – a media creation.
Architecture is not dead, but there is a lot ailing it. A potent IV of meaningful media creation just might pull it off of life support.
Architecture Holds a Thousand Stories – televisions, novels and movie theaters need to be filled with these untold stories. When “Art Vandelay” is replaced with compelling, engaging, multi-deminsional, fictional architects, our profession will thrive.
Thanks for all you do, Mark.
It’s my pleasure Collier. I am having a blast. Thank YOU for your thoughtful words.
