This past Friday, Patrick and Will were joined in their weekly chat by Elizabeth Fauerso, from EBF Development and Design Studio. Elizabeth was key in the vision and development of The Pearl, Hotel Emma, and more. She shared her story, philosophies on place-making and business development. It was so good! Here are three highlights that need so much more time to unpack than you'll get in this post: Focus on creating places that matter through intentional design Value co-creation over top-down implementation Drive development through story and vision and economics will follow

📸 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗽𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴. The team at 𝗚.𝗟. 𝗕𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗼 in Fresno, California—an incredible construction company known for their award-winning craftsmanship—just took a major step toward 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. We brought all 25 employees together to introduce them to the 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 (EOS). But we didn’t just tell them what it is—we made them part of the process. Here’s what happened: 👉 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲, 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲, 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: The team voted (three rounds, seven options!) to decide on a statement that reflects who they are and what they stand for. The winning mantra? 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. 👉 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽: Each employee will have a clear number—a metric that defines their 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 and their contribution to the 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆’𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀. 👉 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: We gave every employee a copy of Gino Wickman’s What the Heck is EOS? 📖 to ensure they understand the journey ahead and how they’ll help the company grow over the next 12 months. Why does this matter? Because when employees are heard, seen, and given a clear role in the 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆’𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀, they don’t just work harder—they work with 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲. 💡 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻?

When I saw this sign ... I had to pull over! I couldn't stop thinking about the path AFTER the sidewalk's end. Earlier this summer marked the anniversary of the end of one chapter and the beginning of an exciting new one. I'm celebrating the anniversary of my last day at my previous museum, where I spent an amazing 11 years, and the first month of owning my own business! It's been a ride, and I'd do it all over again. As I stand here just steps beyond where the sidewalk ends(literally AND metaphorically), I'm reminded that life's transitions aren't endings, but gateways to new opportunities. We often fear the unknown that lies beyond our comfort zones, but it's in these uncharted territories where we find growth, innovation, and our true potential. It's where we get to lean into our strengths to be our true and authentic selves... ... and not care if we post a professional photo with jeans👖, a tank top, and a 🧢 because... when inspiration strikes, you grab it! 🤣 Whether it's a career shift, a new project, or a personal transformation, embracing change opens doors we never knew existed. So here's to new beginnings, to forging our own paths, and to the adventures that await when we dare to step off the familiar sidewalk. What new journey are you embarking on...or dreaming of stepping into? #NewBeginnings #CareerGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #EmbraceChange #InspiredImpact
