For many architects, the idea of stepping away from their firm feels overwhelming. In this conversation with Jeff Krieger, we explore what it really takes to prepare a practice for life beyond the founder. Jeff reveals candid lessons from nearly four decades of leadership, touching on both the practical and the deeply personal sides of transition.
You'll hear stories about navigating valuation surprises, handing over control, and the emotional tug of letting go. Rather than a checklist, Jeff shares the lived reality of how to position your firm so it thrives after you. This is about more than numbers—it's about legacy, freedom, and preparing people to carry the vision forward.
