"Future practicing is all about playing the long game. Making investments in your career today that will pay big dividends.

My guest Stephen Drew is an architect turned industry recruiter. Steve understands the importance of overcoming competition and lack based thinking and has worked to form a supportive community called Architecture Social https://architecturesocial.com. 

He shares his insights on what he's learned from both vantage points:

• The importance of developing your personal brand and not being afraid to put yourself out there- even if you feel "flawed."
• Why networking is the single biggest investment you can make in your career
• Reasons you should look for the right fit not big name when you look for a job
• What the practice of the future will look like

Stay Inspired, Angela"

Stephen Drew

Hello! I’m Stephen Drew, Founder of the Architecture Social—an online community and resource hub dedicated to helping professionals in Architecture, Design, Development, and Real Estate advance their careers.

What is Architecture Social?

It is hard to get a job in architecture. We exist to help you get there. Hosted by Stephen Drew, Architecture Social is the unfiltered guide to the UK Built Environment. We decode the realities of the industry, provide actionable cheat codes for your career, and bridge the communication gap between the drafting board and the boardroom.

Whether you are a Part I assistant trying to survive your first role, a Part III architect managing complex procurement, or a Practice Director fighting tight margins and adapting to the Building Safety Act, this podcast is your central node of intelligence. We strip away the aesthetic gatekeeping and toxic positivity to talk about the actual mechanics of the business.

Expect honest conversations about salary realities, portfolio strategies, hiring economics, and the true experiences of the people actively shaping the profession.

No fluff, just the reality of practice.
