Are you designing your business with intention, or just letting it happen? In this episode, Bradley explores why business owners should think like an architect—designing their businesses with purpose instead of relying on default growth.
Drawing inspiration from YouTube creator Mark Rober and his "Think Like an Engineer" mindset, Bradley makes the case that business owners need a blueprint—a clear plan that includes a three-year vision, one-year objectives, and 90-day targets. He also discusses the constraints every business faces (time, money, team capacity) and how working smarter—not just harder—can help you grow sustainably.
If you’ve ever felt overworked but directionless, this episode is for you.
✅ Why business owners should think like architects, not just engineers.

✅ The importance of balancing vision with real-world constraints.
✅ Why many business owners struggle to answer, “What’s your goal?”—and how to fix it.
