Running a successful architecture firm for decades is no small feat—especially when it spans three generations. In this heartwarming and high-energy episode, Scott Spector of Spectorgroup shares the story of how his father built a practice that shaped the skyline of Long Island—and how Scott expanded its reach into Manhattan and beyond. The conversation dives into culture, legacy, and what it really takes to build a firm that thrives across time.

From stories of "visiting dad's dirt" to lessons learned in lacrosse and leadership, Scott reveals the hidden ingredients that fuel sustainable growth. You'll hear how he hires with intention, energizes his teams, and strikes the elusive balance between creativity and accountability. It's a masterclass in positive leadership—with just enough grit.

  • The unusual team system that unlocked surprising productivity
  • How to grow a firm without killing your creativity—or your culture
  • Why this firm says "no" to cookie-cutter hires—and how it pays off
