Description

The On Center Podcast goes beyond glossy project photos to uncover the real stories behind great architecture, construction, and design. Hosted in the heart of Indiana’s AEC community, each episode sits down with the architects, engineers, contractors, and creators shaping our built world. From award-winning firms to emerging innovators. 

We dig into the moments that define a career: the bold visions, creative problem-solving under tight constraints, cross-disciplinary breakthroughs, and the lessons learned from projects that didn’t go as planned. You’ll hear candid conversations about firm culture, leadership, mentorship, sustainability, and community impact, plus the human side of bringing big ideas to life.

Whether you’re on the jobsite, at your desk, or sketching your next concept, The On Center Podcast offers insights, war stories, and inspiration from the people who know what it really takes to build something that lasts.
