In this episode, host Greg Simpson sits down with Greg Faucher, Vice President of Operations and Delivery at Cuhaci Peterson, for a wide-ranging conversation on career development, knowledge management, technology, and the human side of the architecture and design profession.

Greg Faucher shares his journey from education-focused architecture and residential development to retail, operations, and strategic leadership. Along the way, he reveals how process thinking, investment in people, and clarity of purpose can transform both individual careers and entire organizations.

At the heart of the discussion is a powerful idea: career growth isn’t just about moving “up” or “over”—it’s about empowering people with clarity, skills, and ownership of their development. Greg introduces concepts like career pathing, role enhancements, and a talent development life cycle, all aimed at translating company values into actionable, everyday behaviors.

The conversation also explores how technology—from BIM to AI—should support creativity rather than constrain it, and why storytelling, relationships, and human connection remain central to great architecture and professional services. Greg paints a vision of a firm built on continuous growth, curiosity, and shared success.

Whether you’re a designer, manager, or emerging professional, this episode challenges you to rethink how careers are shaped—and who truly owns that journey.
