Let’s Fix Construction on Young Architect Podcast

Contributed by Eric D. Lussier and Michael Riscica

In early October, I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Michael Riscica for his Young Architect podcast.  For those of you who don't know Michael, he contributed a fantastic piece to our website entitled "Let's Fix Mentorship", which I strongly suggest you read here.

Michael is a Licensed Architect who is passionate about helping Young Architects change the world. After becoming licensed, Michael was frustrated by the lack of support, bad advice and misinformation he had during the years between graduating architecture school and becoming a licensed Architect. In early 2014 he began blogging at YoungArchitect.com to address that problem and launched his podcast earlier this year.  Cherise Lakeside of Let's Fix Construction was featured on an episode entitled 'Expanding Your Knowledge through CSI and CDT' which you can listen to here. 

On his podcast, Michael and I discussed:

• How I got involved in the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI).
• What CSI is all about and why I'm so excited about it.
• What to do to get the most out of being a CSI member and why it’s such a great organization.
• How to stay on top of all of the fast changes in construction and architecture.

And of course, we discussed 'Let's Fix Construction', including: 

• What type of posts Let’s Fix Construction shares and who some of their bloggers are.
• How we can learn from each other by talking to other people from different industries for 15 minutes at a time.
• Future plans for Let’s Fix Construction including our podcast launch
