Description
Frosty and Fired Up is a leadership and culture podcast for architects, designers, and creative professionals who refuse to settle for average. Hosted by Miller Caldwell III, AIA—CEO and Principal in Charge of Caldwell Architects—this podcast explores what it truly takes to lead with discipline, purpose, and impact in one of the most demanding professions in the world. Each episode pulls back the curtain on the internal work behind great architecture: mindset, culture, accountability, wellness, leadership, business fundamentals, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Through candid conversations with firm leaders, partners, strategists, wellness experts, and industry peers, Frosty and Fired Up challenges architects to become better leaders, stronger teammates, and more intentional professionals—inside the office and beyond it. This is not a podcast about trends or tactics alone. It’s about building a healthier profession by starting with the individual—controlling emotions, embracing responsibility, sharpening discipline, and staying grounded while pushing forward. If you care about architecture as a craft, a business, and a calling—and if you believe leadership starts with how you show up every day—this podcast is for you. Stay frosty. Stay fired up.
