We had a conversation with Eric White, a project manager at Joe Architect. He has been associated with the company since 2011. Eric and Michael discussed the advantages of hiring an architect for a project. They mainly focused on how an architect can help keep the project's schedule on track, obtain permits, avoid change orders, and ensure that the project stays within budget. This episode is full of information about what working with an architect for your start-up entails and why it is an excellent option to consider when beginning a project.

This episode is so good. Colin shares his experience of years seeing deals and knowing how the real estate game works. It was such a pleasure learning from him and talking about how to attack the market as a start up dentist. One main point in this episode is, if you got knowledgeable partners helping you through this process, you can't miss. You might have to be more flexible in a complex market but you can't miss.
