About this episode

End chaos in your firm—300+ peers use this framework. Free video here: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/framework

 

In this bold episode of Business of Architecture, host Enoch Sears sits down with serial entrepreneur and black belt Adam Marburger. From hitting personal rock bottom to building six companies, Adam shares raw lessons that will challenge how you think about growth, pain, and leadership. His story starts with heartbreak—and leads to unexpected clarity.

What follows is a grounded conversation about building real wealth, emotional freedom, and business systems that actually work. Adam doesn't sugarcoat the journey. He reveals the mindset shifts that helped him turn chaos into clarity—and what most architects get totally wrong about delegation and control.

 

  • The brutal 2-word phrase that changed everything—and why you need to say it to yourself
  • Why your "dream team" might be the biggest thing holding you back
  • The hidden mistake most firm owners make when trying to scale (and what to do instead)
