This is the fourth recorded episode of The Broke Architect Podcast brought to you by the Global Architect Alliance (GAA).
In this episode I talk to Matthew Young, general director of studio3eight based in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam and also have an office in Dubai. We discuss the value of architects, how we need to stop giving away things for free, imposter syndrome and running a practice in Vietnam.
We also talk about debt and it's impact but also how a move to Vietnam led to Matt to pay off all of his debt from his Australian practice.
Should you be facing issues such as those discussed in this episode a range of help is available. The Architects Benevolent Society founded in 1850 exists to support the architectural community and their families and can help you in a range of ways during your working life, or once you have retired.
